I think all the options have merit. I like to use power points, have activities and show videos when applicable for food science students. Simple to understand handouts are a plus when speaking to families. I am excited about these option. Thanks!

I agree, I work w/ college students who have little time and money. They are a generation that has eaten out a lot and not had the experience of cooking nutritious meals Nancy

I agree pictures for powerpoint, youtube, and simple quick recipes are what would help me teach the population I work with and what they are looking for.
On the go young adults are so often left out of the nutrition education loop. Much of what I see available is geared to K-8 education. I would like to see more for the 20-30 year olds. They do not want to be “talked down to.”

I’d like more clipart, graphics of foods, children and food, preparing food, safe food handling, so I can prepare and tailor my own powerpoints and handouts for my audiences. Thanks!

Kelly describes my situation exactly. No computers, monitors, or screens of any kind are available. Interesting handouts, and the occasional poster, are the only opportunities to present information visually.

Web videos where people can subscribe on youtube would be helpful. Some RDs already use this information medium.

I agree it is hard to capture the attention of young people with traditional methods, unfortunately, many educators don’t have the resources to use computers or even show videos in some of the settings they are teaching in – a shame and something that needs to be worked on!

Education needs to be fun for young people, even up through young adulthood. Traditional static teaching materials; handouts, posters, word oriented slides; don’t seem to catch the attention of those raised with video games and TV. Computer based or animation video may be better accepted especially with catchy feedback from quiz, etc.

Agree with Susan. Simple, easy to read, few ingredients, low cost.
(Not asking too much, heh?)
