Web 2.0 Interactive, Fun, and Informational



These websites are perfect to use when teaching health.  They are all interactive and have multiple topics of discussion. 

Google Body Browser: www.zygotebody.com
          This website creates an interactive page where a student can look at all parts of a human body from the skeletal system to the circulatory system to the muscular system.   All major systems of the body are shown in male and female bodies.  This website allows for the students to learn the entire human body from their skin to their bones while showing a realistic, interactive, human body. 

          BrainPOP is a website that is broken down not only into health, but many other educational subjects.  Once inside your specific subject matter you are able to go into different sections of your subject and go through videos, games, educational information, fun facts, and quizzes with your students. 

BrainPOP JR.: www.brainpopjr.com
           BrainPOP JR. is specifically geared for students grades K through 3rd.  The information on this website is all age appropriate and is shown through videos and clips that grasp a child's attention.  Just like BrainPOP this website has many different subjects and material within. 
Kids Health: www.kidshealth.org 
          Parents, teens, and children all have there own page to go onto and interact with from this main site.  It is broken down into what is best for each of these groups.  The teen page has matter that is age appropriate where students can go interact and learn new material.  The children's page has fun games where lessons are being taught while playing.  

                    www.mypyramid.gov 
              My Pyramid is focused on the health triangle and making healthy eating choices.  The site gives students a chance to research and interact by plugging in foods that they eat to see if they are meeting the daily recommendations.  There are also interactive activities where students learn how to read food labels properly to counting their calorie intake and comparing healthy to unhealthy calories.

  1. In order to be web 2.0 it must be collaborative. Unless there is a way that multiple users can interact on these sites, they do not fit the definition. However, they so appear to be great sites for information.
