Case: Teaching Healthy Eating

On the 1st February I posted a Healthy Eating Mind Map, on it I suggested that the device would also teach children how different foods help their bodies and that this could be achieved by using educational games and cartoons with specially adapted characters.

learntobehealthy.org is an American website for both educators and students with many games and animations with healthy food characters including Captain Calcium, Princess Protein, King Carbohydrate, Fat Cat, Wonder Water and Vita Man. The site also includes lesson plans for school teachers of grades 1 to 6. These are the exact kind of features I had in mind.
