|| **"Session"** || **Reflection/Products** ||
 * **Time**
 * 8:00-9:50 || Welcome, Intro, and Review Core Competencies || Great to hear our TAKS results and learn how close we are to achieving Exemplary status. ||
 * 10:00-10:50 || Managing Website and Student Database || Wonderfully easy to navigate and gain access to important information. I've already posted to the calendar and printed a list of my PACE students. ||
 * 11:00-11:50 || GPS Units and Geocaching || Neat way to develop teamwork and communication skills. ||
 * 1:00-1:50 || Academy Vocabulary Development || Choosing five key terms was a challenge, especially since those associated with interns can apply to everyone. Hopefully sharing the terminology associated with the internship program will provide a little bit of insight into this program. ||
 * 2:00-2:45 || Meeting with floor Vice Principal || Great statistical comparisons. ||
 * 2:45-3:30 || PACE Meeting || Nice to see that there is a long range plan. ||

Thursday, August 23rd
|| **"Session"** || **Reflection/Products** ||
 * **Time**
 * 8:00-9:50 || Meet with Teams and Specialties || Time was wasted. The topics focused on senior activities instead of team goals. Again, these teams should be addressing academic issues and allowing the senior officers and head senior sponsor to handle senior activities. Many of the team members not interested in helping with senior activities. ||
 * 10:00-10:50 || Time Management with Google || Never realized that gmail was linked to Google. Great tools available. ||
 * 11:00-11:50 || Tracking Employability Skills || Appears to be a very useful tool and will help speed the process of documenting ES grades. ||
 * 1:00-1:50 || Using Blogging to Improve Student Writing || Possible option for interns to use instead of writing on paper journals about their work experience. ||
 * 2:00-2:25 || Reflection Time || Taking the time after each session or shortly thereafter provides a faster way to reflect. ||
 * 2:30-3:30 || Meet with Departments || Short and to the point, especially since we had already had the majority of CTE information presented to us on Aug. 13. ||
