I just got my pedometer kit from Walk4Life. I introduced them to several classes today, grades 4,5,7,& 8. They were pretty jazzed about them. I do have a question for any out there who use them. What has been the easiest way to document the steps at the end of class? I have made up a postcard size card for one class that allows them to document 9 class days worth of steps. One class I am going to record myself as they turn them in. But I decided to pick some brains out there and see if anyone has found a way the works well.
Thank you.

Debra I use PECLOGIT.COM with my third graders. It's an awesome site and very easy to use. I use excel to design my sheet. The kids log in their steps as well as the activity for the day. The site allows you to challenge other schools and even other classes amongst your school. Check it out. |

Hello:
We are striving to have the participants in PE Central's LOG IT (www.peclogit.org) record over 1 Million Miles this year. Last year 701,000 miles were recorded! If you want to have your school and students participate visit us at the LOG IT site. You do not need to have pedometers to enjoy the site.

I agree with Mark and even one of our NC classes are communicating oversees with other students through the PE Central Log it program! |

One way that I have used is to have 2 file boxes with a card for each student. One box is on one side of the room for those who have pedometers numbered 1-15. The other file box is on the opposite side of the room for pedometers numbered 16-30. Each student has a card in the file box in number order of their pedometer filed under their teacher's name. I also have the different classes cards color coded. That way I can tell at a glance if they are filed correctly. Each box of pedometers are numbered 1-15 and 16-30. So the students can put the pedometer away and record their steps. Also I put 2 students in charge of checking the pedometers and the files. |

I have pedometers for my classes 1-4. I have a file folder for each row of students (5 in a row) In each folder is a paper for recording. Each has their name, homeroom teacher and line, an area to record steps, daily milage and weekly milage. On the back for 3-4 grade are step number matching to milage. I had my pedometer that transfer steps into miles and took the average of the stride length. The students 3-4 grade turn the sheet over and record their milage on their sheet. At the end of the week I add the milage up and total it. Every ten miles the students get a shoe token to place on their tied athletic shoe. I use the milage because each year we travel somewhere. This year we are stepping around the world. The students love to see there milage and try and beat their score from the day before. I hope this helps. |

I like the idea of having the students use LogIt and logging their information into this program; however, I do not have access to a computer in my gymnasium. I'm not sure how receptive the classroom teachers will be in having the students log their miles during their computer lab time. Any suggestions? |

Perhaps if you point out the value of the virtual hike around the USA. Ask the teachers directly and include how you are using it in your curriculum in your class. Is there any way you can tie it into their curriculum? Every capital reached in the hike reveals information about that state. You can always start with one classroom teacher who is willing to let their students use a portion of their computer time to enter information. Students will talk to other students and interest will develop. Give the students the information to enter at home. Send an informational message to the parents. I had some teachers who actually used the site to log their daily walking.
Good Luck |
