Health Education and Technology Evolution Thesis

Thus, using computer simulation programs that incline
students to participate more actively in probing lessons-such as an online
calorie counter that allows a student to monitor personal nutritional
habits-can draw in an otherwise aloof student body. This is to say that
"the computer has become a virtual teaching forum of great flexibility,
with ever-improving technologies allowing for avenues of student use which
"include drill and practice, tutorials, study guides, games and
simulations, inquiry and problem solving, graphics, and word processing and
writing." (Berson, 486) This multitude of applications reflects an
opportunity for a progressive teaching mode, in which these varying
computing tools offer the chance to distill individual learning strengths
and needs unique to health education.
