    Notes:
    distance education, James F. Evans Collection, Distance education is being utilized more often by colleges of agriculture to meet the educational needs of a more diverse clientele. The college of Agriculture at Iowa State University utilizes a variety of communications media to deliver distance education programming, but relies most heavily on videotapes. In this article, the authors synthesize research related to effective teaching through one-way instructional television, and test two hypotheses derived from this research. The instructional manipulation is described, and its influence on achievement across four cognitive levels in addition to learner satisfaction are tested.

    Notes:
    James F. Evans Collection, Ham, Mimeographed, 1994. 1 p. Presented at the Society for Nutrition Education, Portland, OR, July 16-20, 1994., Games are frequently used to teach a variety of subjects in schools and adult training programs. Games enhance learning by holding attention, encouraging interaction and discussion, and adding variety, creativity, and enjoyment. A game format seemed to offer potential for teaching the USDA's new Food Guide Pyramid. My objective was to develop an educational and entertaining Food Pyramid Game. After researching educational games, I developed "Food Pyramid Lotto", with 4-colored Pyramid Playing Boards and 100 colored Food Cards. Players use the Food Cards to build balanced menus on their pyramid boards. To test out the game, 100 games were produced and distributed to nutritionists and teachers in a variety of programs. Feedback was extremely positive, and indicated that: 1) the game was effective in teaching the Food Guide Pyramid; 2) the game was appropriate for school children, as well as for teens, WIC, NET, home ec, extension, food service training and adult health promotion. After revisions, the game was reprinted and is now being marketed to nutrition educators and teachers nationwide. My conclusion is that a game can be a very effective and enjoyable approach to teaching the Food Guide Pyramid.

Presented at the Society for Nutrition Education, Portland, OR, July 16-20, 1994., Puppets are identified as one fo the most effective tools for educating children. A needs assessment survey administered to participants at a Texas Parent Teacher's Association meeting showed one of the most popular topic choices was instruction in the use of puppetry to teach nutrition education. There are many effective nutrition curriculum on the market and a variety of puppets already available for teaching tools. It was more appropriate to develop a workshop that teaches participants how to enhance their pre-existing curricula and activities with puppets. This workshop provides training and familiarity with the sue of puppets to prepare school and center staff and parents with the confidence to venture into the world of puppetry; particularly in the filed of nutrition education. The workshop covers the types of puppets available, simple puppet manufacturing techniques, basic puppet skills training, choosing and developing the character, and brainstorming tactics for incorporating puppets into any education setting. Results form training at statewide workshops and the annual Texas Head Start pre=service conferences will be presented. Learn how to tap into a powerful education medium. Find out how a workshop like this one can teach participants to deliver a message to children and increase learning retention as public television has successfully done.
