[] This is a website set up by the centre for disease control and prevention. They are dedicated to programs which reduce the health and economic consequensec of the leading causes of death. The link following is an interactive learning environment for primary school aged children. They learn about disease, food, nutrition, exercise safety and the body. One of the activities under the food and nutrition heading allows kids to choose three items they might like to eat. It then tells them all the healthy benefits of the foods they chose (if there are any) and allows them to keep changing until they have picked three foods which give them the most benefit.

[]  This interactive whiteboard site is a fantastic resource to use in the classroom to facilitate the learning and understanding of the digestive system. Using the click and drag concept, students are invited and encouraged to choose foods to eat and beverages to drink. They are able to watch the body as it processes each of the foods selected from the beginning stages in the mouth to the final stages in the toilet. Students are asked to make decisions along the way such as chewing their food or adding gastric juices and their decisions will determine whether the foods pass safely through the body absorbing nutrients along the way or whether the food creates a stomach ache or induces vomiting. There is some humour along the way as certain foods will obviously give a result that everyone has experience with and inevitably makes people laugh! It does become a challenge, however, to choose the correct foods and make the proper choices to achieve a positive and healthy digestion. A fun and authentic exercise for all with simple instructions and informative cues and explanations.

[]  This booklet has been produced by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing to highlight the various food groups and better inform people of all ages about the food choices they make. It explains the importance of food in relation to social, emotional and physical health but primarily focuses on the latter. The Guide offers information about the types of foods that should be eaten every day as well as the amounts that should be consumed in order to obtain the essential and necessary nutrients to maintain a healthy body.
 * The Australian Guide to Healthy Eating **

[]  This interactive website explains to students the concept of energy intake and expenditure in relation to the foods they eat. It may be tailor-made to each person according to their gender, age, weight and height. Students are able to click and drag the foods and drinks they would normally consume during any given day and calculations are made to show how much energy is being put into their bodies in relation to the energy they should have relative to their individual personal information. It is a really interesting exercise, different for everyone who participates in the activity and highlights how necessary and beneficial a healthy diet is to function successfully and healthily every single day.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">These example PowerPoints would be used to show students the range of ideas they may like to include in their own personal presentations. They would be used within the PowerPoint technology lessons and be, at the very least, a starting point for those students who may need to refer to something visible. It uses clear examples of images that could be inserted around the text to make the presentation more interesting, more engaging for the audience and overall more enjoyable for the student. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">
