The Padagogy Wheel V2.0

This Taxonomy wheel, without the apps, was first discovered on the website of Paul

Hopkin’s educational consultancy website mmiweb.org.uk That wheel was produced by

Sharon Artley and was an adaption of Kathwohl and Anderson’s (2001) adaption of Bloom (1956). The idea to further adapt it for

the pedagogy possibilities with mobile devices, in particular the iPad, I have to acknowledge the creative work of Kathy

Schrock on her website Bloomin’ Apps

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

elija MiPlato10 consejos para crear un buen plato

Elegir alimentos para llevar un estilo de vida sano es muy sencillo si sigue estos 10 consejos. Use las ideas de esta lista para balancear las calorías, elegir los alimentos que le conviene comer con mayor frecuencia y reducir la cantidad de alimentos que le conviene comer con menos frecuencia.

10 consejos

Serie de educación en nutrición

DG TipSheet No. 1Septiembre 2011

El USDA es un proveedor y empleador que ofrece igualdad de oportunidades para todos.

balancee las calorías El primer paso para controlar su peso es ver cuántas calorías USTED necesita al día. Vaya a www.ChooseMyPlate.gov para determinar la cantidad de calorías. Hacer actividades físicas también le ayuda a balancear las calorías.

disfrute de sus comidas, pero en cantidades más pequeñas Tómese el tiempo necesario para disfrutar de sus comidas. El comer demasiado rápido o mientras se concentra en otras cosas puede resultar en que coma demasiadas calorías. Preste atención a las señales del hambre y de saciedad antes, durante y después de las comidas. Úselas para reconocer cuándo debe comer y FXiQGR�KD�FRPLGR�VX¿FLHQWH�

evite las porciones extra grandes Use platos, platos hondos y vasos más pequeños. Separe las porciones de alimentos antes de comer. Al salir a comer, elija las opciones de menor tamaño, comparta el platillo o llévese parte de la comida a casa.

alimentos que le conviene comer con más frecuencia Coma más vegetales, frutas, granos integrales, y leche y productos lácteos sin grasa o con 1% de grasa. Esos alimentos contienen los nutrientes que necesita para la buena salud; entre ellos potasio, calcio, YLWDPLQD�'�\�¿EUD��+DJD�GH�HOORV�OD�EDVH�de sus comidas y bocadillos. haga que la mitad de su plato consista en frutas y vegetales Al preparar sus comidas, elija vegetales rojos, anaranjados y verduras como tomates, camotes (batatas) y brócoli, así como otros vegetales. Agregue frutas a las comidas como parte de los platos principales o deacompañamiento, o bien como postres.

cambie a leche descremada o baja en grasa (1%) Contienen la misma cantidad de calcio y otros nutrientes esenciales que la leche entera, pero sin tantas calorías y grasa saturada.

consuma la mitad en granos integrales Para consumir más granos integrales, reemplace un ��������SURGXFWR�GH�JUDQR�UH¿QDGR�SRU�XQ�SURGXFWR�GH�JUDQR�integral, como comer pan de trigo integral en lugar de pan blanco o arroz integral en lugar de arroz blanco.

alimentos que le conviene comer con menos frecuencia Reduzca su consumo de alimentos con grasas sólidas, azúcar y sal adicionales. Estos incluyen pasteles (bizcochos), galletitas, helado, dulces, bebidas endulzadas, pizza y carnes grasas como costillas, chorizo, tocineta y salchichas. Use estos alimentos como antojitos ocasionales, no alimentos para todos los días.

compare el contenido de sodio de los alimentos Use las etiquetas de Información Nutricional (“Nutrition Facts”) para elegir sopas, panes y comidas congeladas conmenos sodio. Elija alimentos enlatados marcados “bajo en sodio,” “sodio reducido,” o “sin sal adicional” (“low in sodium,” “reduced sodium,” o “without added salt”).

beba agua en lugar de bebidas endulzadas con azúcar Reduzca las calorías al beber agua o bebidas sin azúcar. En las dietas de los estadounidenses, las gaseosas, bebidas de energía y bebidas deportivas representan grandes cantidades adicionales de azúcar y calorías.

ELA StandardsO Students replied to a blog from Spain in

which the blogger made the point that people in other countries must not rush to judge Americans for their diet, but that it depends on the individual and his or her food choices. Students had to develop their points based on information in the blog.

Edmodo Share- EvaluateO Students shared their food logs on the

Edmodo.com class site.

MyPlate versus the Food Pyramid-Analyze

O Students compared the recommendations on the old food pyramid with the MyPlate recommendations.
