Hello John,
I analysed both projects and I prefer the Chinese one.Why?Creating a new school environment where we implement communication and new technologies opens a whole new area of learning that can motivate the pupils. Learn from each other, co-operative learning gives better results than some magic with a calculator. Eating healthy may not become an arithmetical exercise, an ‘adding together’ of calories and grams.
‘Back to everyday reality’, where children and parents have to decide every day what to eat without a calculator.Some simple rules can help.
We often forget the importance of ‘timing’. ‘Eat your breakfast, it’s the most important meal of the day!. (Even: ‘Any breakfast is better than no breakfast!’) Skipping breakfast doesn’t help kids maintain healthy weight because they eat more calories during the day. Nutrition problems are often the result of bad timing.
Try to eat variety of food and don’t forget fitness and sport. Modern bloggers have to leave also their chair and computer… and run!
A good strategy is to combine these two project together with the preparation a real healthy breakfast at school (see: powerpoint presentation) where children experience that good nutrition tastes often better than the usual stuff they find on the table at home.I hope this article is useful!
Many greetings
Lieven
