__**Notes:**__ October 10, 2011 We brainstormed ways to assess the pedometer and 10,000 steps a day goal.

Dec 14, 2011 Brainstormed what to do with the data we collect.

Jan 18, 2012 We raised the idea of using pedometers during intramurals and compare the activity level to that in classes. On certain fitness days or activities introduce pedometers for a small sample group.

March 14, 2012 Assigned each teacher to test a specific class, using pedometers and various fitness activities. Results will be compared at April's meeting.
