|| **"Session"** || **Reflection/Products** ||
 * **Time**
 * 8:00-9:50 || Welcome, Intro, and Review Core Competencies || Student Communication skills: I want to do more presentations this year. TEK/SE's reviews lend themselves to this really well. I could have students do a presentation reviewing TEKs covered each 6-weeks in review for the TEKs Check, or in conjunction with/ correlated with tests.

Bellringers: Look back at the ESL course I took on line from the College of Charleston. Maybe I could pattern mine after the one's they used. || Ritter/Stevens || Maybe use as a review for TEKs/SEs. Students can make one reviewing for TAKs tests.
 * 10:00-10:50 || Building electronic portfolios with wikis

For space considerations, have each student make their own Wiki on Wikispaces. Teacher can put in comments - see discussion feature. || Ritter/Sevens || Go to Blackboard Course 006 E-Learning
 * 11:00-11:50 || Differentiation with Adaptive Release in Blackboard

Good for BellRingers. Also could be used as a gatekeeper for labs. Students demonstrate that they understand key points before doing the lab. ||
 * 1:00-1:50 || Parent Involvement Planning Meeting

Rm 154 || Brainstorming ideas for getting parents involved. Maybe a tech night for parents. Team parent nights? Maybe specialty awards. End of year career night showing what kids have done through the year. Parents like to see kids do something. Maybe have kids show the specialties to the parents. || CyberSpace || Remember Team meetings every other day. Need 6 Teaching and Learning Tuesdays before Thanksgiving. || Rm 224 || Make sure to develop a relationship with the kids, but still cover the curriculum. ||
 * 2:00-2:45 || Meeting with floor Vice Principal
 * 2:45-3:30 || PACE Meeting

Thursday, August 23rd
|| **"Session"** || **Reflection/Products** || Rm 204 || Interesting resources for using projects. So much information that it was hard to digest it all in such a short time. The presentations by groups was a neat idea, but not really sure the presenters had the right idea in what they did. || Rm 350 || Interesting way to share bookmarks. I like the way you can tag them and then access the tags from any computer. There is a benefit to being able to access your favorite sites from any computer. || CyperZone || Looks like the database is even better than last year. Having the pictures is really cool! Plus it is really nice to be able to submit stuff for the school webpage and calender so easily. ||
 * **Time**
 * 8:00-9:50 || Meet with Teams and Specialties || This will be a good year with the team. Everyone seems to want to work together and I believe good things will happen. ||
 * 10:00-10:50 || Building Up To Project-Based Learning
 * 11:00-11:50 || Social Bookmarking and sharing Math/Science Websites
 * 1:00-1:50 || Managing Website and Student Database (REQUIRED)
 * 2:00-2:25 || Reflection Time || Whew! Lots to do! ||
 * 2:30-3:30 || Meet with Departments || Wish this data deal was not such a pain. If we can get it done, it will help us target what our kids need. ||
