|| **"Session"** || **Reflection/Products** ||
 * **Time**
 * 8:00-9:50 || Welcome, Intro, and Review Core Competencies ||  ||
 * 10:00-10:50 || Managing Website and Student Database || I will be using the student database to track contacts with students. It also takes me a while to associate names with faces, so the presence of student pictures associated with their names will help a lot. ||
 * 11:00-11:50 || Getting Started with the TI Navigator || The Navigator has a lot of potential. I feel that we may be able to use some of the basic functionality to teach some concepts, but it feels like I will need to practice more with it in order to do some of the more advanced operations on it such as creating lesson checks and such. ||
 * 1:00-1:50 || Tracks of a Killer - Collaboration between Math and Science || The lesson was good, and it should hold the interest of the student. I think lessons like this could be useful, but we should find a way to reduce the variance in the collected data. For instance, stride length is variable even for the same individual. ||
 * 2:00-2:45 || Meeting with floor Vice Principal ||  ||
 * 2:45-3:30 || PACE Meeting ||  ||

Thursday, August 23rd
|| **"Session"** || **Reflection/Products** ||
 * **Time**
 * 8:00-9:50 || Meet with Teams and Specialties ||  ||
 * 10:00-10:50 || Varying Instructional Strategies || I will be using the graduated difficulty strategies more often this year. The new textbooks are designed to help implement this strategy as well. Additionally, I plan to continue using the reciprocal learning style and inquiry strategies in lesson presentation. ||
 * 11:00-11:50 || Social bookmarking and sharing math/science websites || I will use the delicious service more as a personal reference for ideas and teaching tools. If there are websites that I want to share with the students, I'll place them in the Blackboard course instead of having them sign directly into delicious. ||
 * 1:00-1:50 || Creating Groups in Blackboard and Collaborative Sessions in Blackboard || I intend to consolidate my Blackboard classes this year into just 2 Blackboard courses. I will be using the group feature to separate the periods in the Algebra 2 Blackboard course. I am also going to experiment with setting up self help discussion groups in Blackboard, so students can get some peer help if they have problems with the work. ||
 * 2:00-2:25 || Reflection Time ||  ||
 * 2:30-3:30 || Meet with Departments ||  ||
