|| **"Session"** || **Reflection/Products** || It's great to hear that our students are doing well in the professional world. ||
 * **Time**
 * 8:00-9:50 || Welcome, Intro, and Review Core Competencies || I didn't realize The Academy was so close to achieving Recognized status. I would love to see us make it this year.
 * 10:00-10:50 || Building electronic portfolios with wikis || Love it! I would love to use this for literature reflections as well as contemplation and evaluation of images. This is GREAT for ELA! ||
 * 11:00-11:50 || Using Digital Videos in Your Classroom || This will be great for providing materials that allow for students to move at their own pace--a great asset for adaptive release. Unfortunately, it does not seem to have as many literature-based clips as I thought it would. ||
 * 1:00-1:50 || Parent Involvement Planning Meeting || After listening to the ideas, I think the community service ideas for medical, or "performing" such as a cooking show for the parents sound really good. The booster club idea could service multiple needs. ||
 * 2:00-2:45 || Meeting with floor Vice Principal || Looking forward to the walk-throughs. ||
 * 2:45-3:30 || PACE Meeting || Glad to hear that the presentations have been streamlined. This will make it much easier to cover all the topics in a timely fashion. ||

 * **Time**
 * 8:00-9:50 || Meet with Teams and Specialties ||  ||
 * 10:00-10:50 || Managing the Academy Website and Student Database || Nicely done. I really like the interactive qualities of the website, and the design is really sleek. My only concern is that everyone can edit everyone's information. ||
 * 11:00-11:50 || Academy Vocabulary Developement || Added 5 terms and added to several terms. I find it interesting that Art and English have so many similar terms. ||
 * 1:00-1:50 || Using Blogging to Improve Writing || Interesting ideas. Still can't decide what will be best for my needs--blog, wiki, or BB discussion board. Hmmm.... ||
 * 2:00-2:25 || Reflection Time || Vicky's back! Yea! ||
 * 2:30-3:30 || Meet with Departments || Love the book inventory database! Sharon did a great job. ||
