For this technology article, I decided to use two different pieces of technology together. Spot The Block! Yo! www.spottheblock.com I love this tool because it makes nutrition fun by turning nutrition awareness into a fun-loving cartoon and allows us to teach our students and children how to get healthy and stay that way by simply watching what we eat. This website has many activities on it that will allow children to become more comfortable with watching their caloric intake, nutrients, and their serving sizes. It also has videos, downloads (wallpapers), and cool music (for the children’s enjoyment). The pros of this website are the many things children can use to become familiar with healthy nutrition. I also like the style that Cartoon Network uses to reach the children. What are the cons? I do not think there truly are any cons to learning. Personally, I think this website is the best thing since sliced bread (not literally). My Pyramid- For Kids! http://www.mypyramid.gov/kids/index.html This tool is completely AWESOME because it allows kids to make up their own sample meal plan, using a game, so they can see kind of what their day is supposed to look like. The pro to this tool is the amazing insight it gives to children while they are having fun! The con is definitely that they will be on this website playing games instead of doing their homework. ( I don’t know if you can actually call this a con, but it is the only thing I can see wrong with this website.) The way these two websites will impact my curriculum by allowing me to easily, and in a fun way, incorporate healthy living into my classroom.
