Childhood Obesity by Jessica Bryant https://padlet.com/jessicabryant35/djsmmbygrhon Is your child at risk? By: Meghann McCoy en-us 2016-07-18 01:52:10 UTC 2025-11-02 21:57:11 UTC hello@padlet.com Project Specific Information  jessicabryant35 https://padlet.com/jessicabryant35/djsmmbygrhon/wish/116529202 Target Audience: This "padlet" design is intended to be a interactive/informative tool for patients, parents, and children.


Advantages to using this medium: 
  • I really liked using padlet because its easy to access from any computer (it is a public link), its free and easy to use. 
  • Padlet is more like a online "wall" that acts as a virtual notepad. 
  •  The site allows for the user to move items around by holding down the left mouse click button, or  double clicking.  Its easy to  add photos, videos, links and change the appearance too.  
  • The ability to add photos and a visually appearing background makes this site easy to navigate and is appealing for the viewer. 
  • It is also easy to collaborate on this site. It would be a effective tool for a parent or kids club to collaborate on a informative page and add links/information they find. 

Disadvantages of Padlet:
  • Anyone can edit a padlet page if it is set up as a public page. So if a viewer were to move or delete items there is no way to prevent this. 
  •  This would not be a tool that could be added to a hospital or clinic website section of Forms and Advice because any user can edit the material if it the privacy setting are not set correctly. 
  • The padlet template is wider than a typical website page, so the viewer has to use the left to right scroll to see the entire presentation. This can be corrected by holding down CTRL and "-" or CTRL and "+"  at the same time but most users would not be familiar with this computer command and it makes the font very small when you zoom out. 
  • The format to enter font is different than a typical microcoft document, the spacing for siting references is difficult to manipulate and the spacing would not cooperate to make it correct apa style formatting. 
  • 6th Edition of APA formatting used.

    32% of school-age children in the United States are overweight or obese?

    In the past 30 years, the prevalence of childhood obesity has more than doubled among children ages 2-5, has tripled among youth ages 6-11, and has more than tripled among adolescents ages 12-19 (Maziak,Ward & Stockton, 2007).                      ]]>     2016-07-13 13:46:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicabryant35/djsmmbygrhon/wish/116529222      Interactive Nutrition & Terms Glossary A-Z jessicabryant35 https://padlet.com/jessicabryant35/djsmmbygrhon/wish/116529223 Click here to launch the Nutrition Dictionary]]> 2016-07-13 13:44:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicabryant35/djsmmbygrhon/wish/116529223 jessicabryant35 https://padlet.com/jessicabryant35/djsmmbygrhon/wish/116529224 "Obesity has become rampant because we now tend to eat more and move less, and we are increasingly encouraged to do so by our environments. Obesity, in other words, is a sign of mismatch between our genes – still lingering at the hunter-gatherer epoch – and our current techno-commercial and comfort-oriented lifestyles" (Maziak,Ward & Stockton, 2007).  ]]> 2016-07-12 01:10:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicabryant35/djsmmbygrhon/wish/116529224 jessicabryant35 https://padlet.com/jessicabryant35/djsmmbygrhon/wish/116529225 2016-07-12 01:07:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicabryant35/djsmmbygrhon/wish/116529225
