I think a check-in in the beginning of the week, followed by a check-in saturday before submission on Sunday is a good idea.

Kimberly, I really like how you included mental health in your brainstorming. I think this is an important part to leading a healthier lifestyle. We may want to consider adding something---like a virtual support group or a way to check in and provide validation for what the individuals who are participating are doing.

In regards to the thought around cooking---it would depend on the target audience. I am not sure the average 4th through 6th grader would ever be responsible for cooking themselves something. Why don't we change the focus off cooking and move it towards making healthier choices. I remember being at school and going into the lunch line just to get snacks. When I went to middle school, you could get a Snapple out of the vending machine, and anything from ice cream to chips to curly fries in the snack line. No one was there telling me how to spend my $2 daily. Maybe giving children tools to make a better choice when they are left to their own devices would be beneficial.

Stephanie: I like your idea about the different learning modules. I know I read some back and forth on the wording for exercise vs. fitness. I think exercise is the broader term and should be used. There are so many ways one can exercise....however one's fitness level might vary.

I also liked your ideas for gamification. I don't often get to work with older students but I do know that they are motivated by challenges. I think we should use that. I like the idea of step counter challenges, earning badges for completing daily logs.

For assessment: my thoughts are.....if the camper's goal is to lose weight, then the assessment should be tracking the weight loss. I was a part of a virtual Biggest Loser. I had to take a picture of my feet on the scale and send it to the woman who organized it every Sunday morning. She would calculate the percent lost and update the rankings. Maybe something similar can be done

I just saw the Asana email...it asked for your emails to join in. What is Asana and how are we using it? What will it do? I feel like there is a lot to check into already....

That sounds great to me. Thanks for submitting. I cannot tell on BB if a person has submitted or not.

I just submitted now....

I agree that nutrition is a better word than diet.... I was just trying not to sensor myself during that activity :-)

An Idea I have about that is to divide and conquer... maybe do a check in on Tuesday to divide the work... then check in again Saturday to see what has been accomplished.... we talked about having a chat session Saturdays after noon... then we can compile our work and flush it out so it is cohesive and submit Sunday? Just a thought...

Kim,

I like the break down of your ideas. Instead of diet, use nutrition? I think those can be the three main tabs of our camp? Maybe include a games tab and a camper interaction tab and have those 5 and work from there????

Just created an Asana account and invited you guys from your google account email. Also shared with Kristen.

Im not exactly sure if I did it correctly. The program seems confusing.

All good points. Maybe instead of healthy cooking we replace with healthy snacking?? Avoid cooking all together.

Also agree with keeping it to the word fitness.

As far as assessment, we could keep it VERY simple with like a survey monkey quiz just for feedback . I figure we don't want to leave it out just because its a big part of the ID process.

Next week we have to do the actual project plan. I envision this being a lot of work. We might want to start gearing our brainstorming ideas to that. Don't think it would be wise to wait until the end of next week to begin, unless we want to do some type of chat?

PS - Kim did you submit the link on BB? Can't tell if your last activity when I try to submit is referring to your submission

These seem like some great ideas. I just wanted to throw out there (and it may be semantics) using the word fitness for exercise I thought about that after I used exercise in my own brainstorm.

I like the healthy cooking, but am curious how cooking and 4th to 6th graders might work in a safety component. Perhaps preparing healthy meals and we give them training on preparing meals that don't require adult supervision. The perhaps for dinner we provide some type of kid and adult cooking lesson. Just a thought...

Camper interactions... another avenue might be google chats or skype sessions so groups can get actual face time.

Assessment....great question... I think that is a hard one especially virtually. It could be multiple assessment components like some type of fit challenge using their step counter (like fit bit) and for the nutrition component creating a day of healthy recipes.

I like how Christina, you tied My Fitness Pal into your brainstorm. I hadn't thought about that but it brings in both the nutrition and fitness and can be shared, so this might be a great way to connect virtually.

I also like how you thought about dividing the participants based on their goals.

My submission

# data[].attributes.body
I like your ideas, Christina. I think we should maybe think about the main "pages" our camp will have? I took a lot of pictures so I won't both posting my sticky notes unless you guys really want. With my thoughts & Christina's thoughts maybe...

Learning Modules:
1) Goal Setting
2) Nutrition
3) Exercise
4) Testimonials
5) Healthy Cooking???

Some type of Gamification?
1) Choosing the best snack game
2) Step counter challenges?
3) Daily activities for log for badges/competition?

Camper Interactions
1) Discussion Boards
2) Social Media
3) Nutrition & Exercise Journals

Assessment??!!!!
