9-26-08 - The Amazing Food Detective

I spent some time checking out “The Amazing Food Detective” web site linked in D2L. Wow, what a neat site for kids to explore nutrition and exercise! This website is simple to use so it could be used with young children. I did feel though that the site kind of lead you to the correct choices, making it difficult to explore which choices are right or wrong. Thus, there is not much intelligence needed. This might be okay if we use this web site simply to supplement instruction, because the information provided in the narrative is very good. I would also like to note that I really liked the multi-cultural presence on the web site.
