Fat World - A Video Game About Nutrition
Fat World is an educational video game funded in part by theCorporation for Public Broadcasting. The game isn't designed to tell students what they should or shouldn't eat rather it is designed to get students thinking about the results of food choices. In the game students explore the socioeconomic, geographic, and cultural factors that influence the nutrition choices people make. Students will also explore the roles of the government and interest groups in the marketing of foods.
Fat World is available as a free download for Windows and Mac users.
Applications for EducationI like games that require students to use some analytical thinking while they are playing and aren't just "drill and kill" activities. Fat World fits that criteria as it asks students to account for many variables as they move through the game. Fat World could obviously be used in a health class, but could also be used in a civics or economics class.

Are You and Your Students Getting Enough Sleep?
We all know that sleep is important and that there is a correlation between the amount of sleep students get and how the perform in the classroom, but what about us? Are we, as teachers, getting enough sleep? National Geographic has a quiz to help us answer that question. The Secrets of Sleep quiz asks ten questions related to your sleeping habits. The quiz uses your responses to tell you if you're getting enough sleep and, if necessary, what you can do to improve your sleeping habits.
Applications for EducationThe Secrets of Sleep quiz could be used by teachers themselves and by students. Health teachers could have students take the quiz to see first-hand how much sleep they should be getting and how they can go about improving their sleeping habits.
