I stumbled across this website, WebMD Fit Juniors, (via my IDEA Member site). Lately I have been very disappointed in WebMD (too many e-mails, drug ads to "solutions", and too many weight-loss scams...).
Don't get me wrong, WebMD is a great resource for info about medical ailments. BUT I do have a Pharma problem with them... I just ignore those parts, however, and take in everything else. I am informed enough to do weed through the "need to pay the bills" muck.
But this site (WebMD Fit Juniors) of theirs, geared toward children and parents, is awesome. I'm impressed with the layout and the childlike manner in which the information is presented. The site is comprehensive and helpful to both parents and teachers of health.
The playfulness of the site and why it appeals to me as an adult reminds me of the times when I go to Art Galleries that have some touring shows or collections. They often offer a recorded self-guided version of the tour. I LOVE those and feel they are worth the extra few bucks. I, after all, am a non-artsy person who loves to learn about art and artists one little snippet at a time. The self-guided listening tours are insightful AND you can push the repeat button in case you got distracted.
The special part I enjoy about the listening tours is that they often have children's versions. What a fun way to visit a collection! Try it if you have the chance, no one will guess which program version you are listening too, except maybe when you giggle a silly joke.
About this WebMD Fit Juniors (WebMD Fit Juniors) site, it's got a great feel and they approach healthy behaviors with childlike wonder and fun - good thing in my mind. Take a look at the ReCharge activity: http://fit.webmd.com/jr/recharge/pdf/pdf-help-fit-friends-relax-game for an example. Not a hint of TV mentioned.
I would love to know their analytics and their behavior change stats (if they can get those)!
KUDOS to WebMD.

Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you're using? I'm planning to start my own blog in
ReplyDeletethe near future but I'm having a hard time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
Feel free to surf to my web-site: vertical leap exercises
My brother recommended I might like this website. He was entirely right.

Greetings.
ReplyDeleteI know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
I'm getting tired of Wordpress because I've had issues with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
