 * 8:00-9:50 || Welcome, Intro, and Review Core Competencies ||  ||
 * 10:00-10:50 || The Wiki Class by John W & Angela S. || omg, this was so good, it was too short. I had already set up wiki pages but was not really sure how to navigate through them. TGreat ideas on how to incorporate in class and also have place to keep a portfolio for science class. love it. I want to work on this more. ||
 * 11:00-11:50 || Adaptive Release || ok, so some of this was still new even after using it last year. John showed us how to use codes in gradebook to add groups to manage or classes. It seems like an easier way to organize. ||
 * 1:00-1:50 ||  || hey, i'm helping teach this class I hope its going to be fun. Wellllll. It was good but natch I had trouble with the graphing calculators and so did the science teachers, even with step by step instructions. WE need graphing calculators for science ||
 * 2:00-2:45 || Meeting with floor Vice Principal || good welcome ||
 * 2:45-3:30 || PACE Meeting || ummm, not to hurt anyone's feelings or anything but PACE info should be different. videos, skits, puzzles, something that can be done other than a powerpoint. they got old and boring last year and they did not change this year. ugh. the kids do not want to hear me blah blah blah read a ppt. ||

 * 11:00-11:50 || Social Bookmarking with del.icio.us math and science. || Ok well, this only took 20 minutes. I think next time it should be nixed from the program and taught during a team meeting or department meeting. could have used more wikispaces or more witter classes ||
