EDTECH 532: VW Explorer: Simulations of Idahonia


I absolutely loved visiting this site!  First of all, I thought it was really fun.  From the moment I put the health pack on and could barely walk I had a great time.  This is also one of the first areas with a clearly defined path which I found very helpful.  I often find myself wandering and don't like that.

From a learning perspective I liked taking a pre and post test, but wish they gave both scores at the end to compare.  I thought the immediate feedback on all the quizzes was terrific.  Although they give your meal a score I think it would be helpful to give a narrative on how healthy and why.  What was good and what was bad.  It was also extremely helpful to have information available on the items in the store and at the farmers' market.

I got very upset when I found myself getting sick due to poor health but was happy to be skipping around at the end.  I think it would be really fun to play several times to compare results of poor, adequate, and super healthy eating.  This is something we teach in second grade and I think if this was modified to their level it would be a fantastic learning tool that all the students would love to play and learn a great deal from

AWESOME!
