The Allen ISD Student Nutrition Department has recently implemented, Nutri-Café, an interactive virtual cafeteria application for students, parents and teachers.
The interactive cafeteria will allow parents and students to easily view and learn about the nutritional content of school meals, leading to healthier eating habits and lifestyle for students.
Nutri-Café.com, where you can eat nine plates of cookies for lunch.
Nutri-Café is a web-based nutrition information portal available online for students, parents and teachers with access to the Internet. The system is simple and easy to use with drag-and-drop functionality. Nutri-Café features a virtual serving line that displays all the food items and condiments available for that particular school. Each item then can be dragged onto the tray icon and when the mouse is moved over to a particular item, the nutritional value and cost of that item is displayed.
“We are excited about this new educational tool,” said Dorothy Thompson, Allen ISD director of student nutrition. “Nutri-Café will provide our teachers an added resource to use with students and parents. Our hope is that this technology will generate more discussion among students and their parents about meal choices, helping them to better understand the many choices available and the health benefits of choices.”
Nutri-Café will be available for access at the start of the 2007-08 school year through the Allen ISD website at www.allenisd.org under “Popular Links”.
