THE ADVENTURES OF D.M. DINWIDDIE, P.I.T.*
(*Physician-in-Training)©
(CD-ROM available Summer 2002)
The Adventures of D.M. Dinwiddie, P.I.T. teaches children what happens
in their bodies when they get sick or injured. In a series of 15 interactive
adventure modules, children learn to recognize the symptoms of injuries
and illness, learn their causes and effects, and how such conditions can
be prevented and treated. Educational emphasis is on prevention and self-protective
behaviors. Each module is playable independently to facilitate classroom
curricula and to enable children to jump to illnesses and conditions in
which they have a special interest. Adventure-style Interactive labs educate
children on colds and viruses, sprains, breaks, and bumps, cuts, bleeding,
and burns, and many other conditions.
