|| **"Session"** || **Reflection/Products** ||
 * **Time**
 * 8:00-9:50 || Welcome, Intro, and Review Core Competencies || Great review of what the Academy is all about. Makes me proud to be teaching here. I feel like we(the Academy) do what makes sense - that is - whatever is best for the students. We don't just say it, we put that concept into action! ||
 * 10:00-10:50 || Managing Website and Student Database (REQUIRED) || Great Database! Easy to use - just have to remember the passwords :) I love that the students will have access to post things themselves! ||
 * 11:00-11:50 || Differentiation with Adaptive Release in Blackboard || Good information. I just need the time to create the "upfront" material/warmups in Bb to be used with adaptive release. I will probably need more assistance with this feature after I have time to work with it. I also need to learn how to import grades from Bb into gradespeeed. ||
 * 1:00-1:50 || //“Tracks of a Killer” - Collaboration between Math and Science// || Very neat integration of science and math concepts! A little overwhelming for someone who knows little about graphing calculators. I would definitely need to learn how to use the graphing calculator better to implement the full activity. But, I could just collect the data in science and let math classes use the calculators to figure out the information. ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 2:00-2:45 || Meeting with floor Vice Principal || Great meeting! It's nice to see that the data supports what we are trying to do - creating successful students. Hopefully the trend will continue! ||
 * 2:45-3:30 || PACE Meeting || Good information. I did not know about the Bb site last year. I hope the information/PP for 10th grade will be in there soon! ||

|| **"Session"** || **Reflection/Products** ||
 * **Time**
 * 8:00-9:50 || Meet with Teams and Specialties || The 10th grade AT team in the BEST! Meeting went well & we accomplished a lot within one hour! :) ||
 * 10:00-10:50 || Time Management with Google || WOW! I am feeling very overwhelmed. I had heard about these things but never really knew what all was available. I definitely need more time/training on how to use the programs offered by Google. ||
 * 11:00-11:50 || Podcasting || Very cool concept I'm just not sure yet how I could implement it in my classroom. The time factor of keeping up with it continually concerns me. ??? ||
 * 1:00-1:50 || Wiki Spaces Tutorial video || I created my own wiki page! Click here to see it! ||
 * 2:00-2:25 || Reflection Time ||  ||
