The Video Series
Exploring Wisconsin Our Home, a 14-program instructional television series produced by the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board, is designed to enhance the study of Wisconsin in the K-4 social studies sequence.
Exploring Wisconsin Our Home studies the natural and human resources of our state, focusing on the five geographic themes of location, place, movement, human-environment interactions, and region. Its 15-minute programs are broadcast statewide during the school year on Wisconsin Public Television.
