The purpose of this paper is to explore technology use within the health education curriculum and to describe the development of a compact disc (CD) for use in health education classes. This health education CD was created as a self-study module for students in grades four through six. It is a supplement to the traditional classroom health education curriculum. The compact disc is designed to enhance learning about nutrition and physical activity by means of an interactive and fun computer-based approach. It will enable students to learn in an independent manner, while practicing their math, reading, comprehension, science and computer skills. The goal of this compact disc is to motivate children to take an active part in living a healthy lifestyle. The compact disc is based on the health belief model and the National Health Education Standards. Technology advances, such as this compact disc, provide educators another way to incorporate health education into the classroom.
