• 15 real-life decision-making opportunities
To a teen facing the many real-time, life-changing choices of youth, the concept of making
“a good decision” or “the right decision” may be too abstract to act
on at the times they need to most. Cut through the confusion by emphasizing healthy
decisions instead!
After all, a healthy choice is always a good one—and making healthy choices is
exactly what this CD-ROM is about. It’s set in the town of Beechoosee (“Be
Choosy”), a safe virtual space where students make all the decisions…and then
deal with the consequences. Starting from the town square, they’ll create their own
learning adventures as they see the sights. Some may want to go to the convenience store.
That’s where they’ll confront smoking and tobacco products. Others may head
straight for the movie theater—and run into questions about physical and emotional
issues related to sexuality. A party at a friend’s house? Cool! But they’d
better be ready to deal with the dangers of alcohol and drugs. Other hotspots and hangouts
include the high school (peer pressure), a café (nutrition), the gym (exercise), and the
mall (mental health—self-image, self-esteem, and stress management).
Every “Moment of Choice” decision point is challenging and realistic. Each one
involves a process that includes a crossroads kind of issue; a specific situation
involving that issue; options to be researched and weighed; and the unavoidable necessity
of having to make a decision. Fortunately, a pair of teen narrators are there to guide
students through the process. Plus, features like “Choice Facts” pop-ups and a
Peer Pressure Excuse Generator give them plenty to consider before committing themselves.
When teens make adult-level choices, they take on adult-level responsibilities. This
CD-ROM is an excellent tool for helping them learn how to make healthy decisions they can
live with. A Meridian Production. Networkable.
