Wednesday, August 22nd
|| **"Session"** || **Reflection/Products** ||
 * **Time**
 * 8:00-9:50 || Welcome, Intro, and Review Core Competencies ||  ||
 * 10:00-10:50 || Managing Website and Student Database || Wow, we had a full house for this one. Everyone seemed open to using the student database feature. The addition of the student photos will be well worth it. Also had some good contructive comments about some of the process on the faculty side of the information database. I will address those changes tonight. ||
 * 11:00-11:50 || GPS Units and Geocaching || REALLY FUN session. Everyone picked up the GPS rather quickly. Its funny how some relied on the technology so heavily. When the cache wasn't directly under foot where we thought it should have been (gps coordinates), some got stumped. At some point, you have to get down and look/dig through the brush and weeds. There's always some point where you have to "go analog" and get a little messy. ||
 * 1:00-1:50 || Managing Website and Student Database || Another full session. Lot of good comments and things I will address tonight. ||
 * 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 || So much new information. I am glad to know I'll have good people to go to when I need assistance. Having never taught in a team before, I am really looking forward to this. I need to look at core competencies and employability skills again before Monday. I am still trying to sort all of that out in my mind. ||
 * 10:00-10:50 || Managing Website and Student Database ||  ||
 * 11:00-11:50 || Podcasting – Broadcast Yourself || HUGE classroom full of people. The "broadcast yourself" theme with the [|video] really hit home with most folks...I think. I stressed becoming a podcast advocate over a podcast expert as well. many had already seen Audacity and spent time looking at GCast and some sources for podcast safe music. ||
 * 1:00-1:50 || Managing Website and Student Database || So many people have found new uses of the student databases that I haven't considered yet. I will be adding a printpage function on the student detail page. ||
 * 2:00-2:25 || Reflection Time || WOW...great two days. More coming soon... ||
 * 2:30-3:30 || Meet with Departments ||  ||
