|| **"Session"** || **Reflection/Products** ||
 * **Time**
 * 8:00-9:50 || Welcome, Intro, and Review Core Competencies || It was nice being introduced to our mentor teachers and re-introduced to some of the office staff that we met on day one during our scavenger hunt. ||
 * 10:00-10:50 || Differentiating with D2SC || I read the power point on this class during new teacher orientation, I wanted to see which reports would be the most helpful with my specific students. It will obviously take a little playing with on my own time, but I feel much more confident looking at and reading different reports. ||
 * 11:00-11:50 || Differentiation with Adaptive Release || I found this tool on Blackboard to be a bit complicated, and I wouldn't say I mastered it during the class, but since I am enrolled in the tutorial...I should be able to continue to work with it. I will probably start off really small with the adaptive release. ||
 * 1:00-1:50 || Managing Website and Student Database || I thought this information was helpful and extremely user-friendly. I added my information to the webpage and subscribed to the website. ||
 * 2:00-2:45 || Meeting with floor Vice Principal || It was good to get with everyone from my same floor. It seems like there is a big support system on the 3rd floor. ||
 * 2:45-3:30 || PACE Meeting || I like the framework of the powerpoint, and also some of the ideas that a lot of people were sharing about their PACE experiences. ||

|| **"Session"** || **Reflection/Products** ||
 * **Time**
 * 8:00-9:50 || Meet with Teams and Specialties || It was nice to meet up with everyone from my team. We discussed our PACE class and most members picked up their PACE folders. We went over attendance and also talked about different rules including dress code and the ES grade vs. citizenship grade. ||
 * 10:00-10:50 || Varying Instructional Strategies || We did a (sort of) jigsaw strategy of teaching strategies. We were split into four groups and presented information on different strategies to the other groups. It gave other options in addition to the layered curriculum. ||
 * 11:00-11:50 || Social Bookmarking || I already knew some about delicious, but it was really helpful to add it to my blackboard page. ||
 * 1:00-1:50 || Wiki While You Work || This online session was interesting because it showed many different online wiki sites similar to wikispaces. It showed how students really need to learn that the wiki space and the internet in general. Also, we were all interested that "wiki" means quickly in Hawaiian. ||
 * 2:00-2:25 || Reflection Time ||  ||
 * 2:30-3:30 || Meet with Departments ||  ||
