|| **"Session"** || **Reflection/Products** ||
 * **Time**
 * 8:00-9:50 || Welcome, Intro, and Review Core Competencies || * Ah, the tick model. I was hoping I wouldn't see it this year, but it snuck in at the last minute and latched on! I can feel the lifeblood flowing out of me at this very moment.... :) ||
 * 10:00-10:50 || Managing Website and Student Database || * Darren has music playing (Colbie Caillat) in the Cyberzone and it's quite nice! I've often wondered how my students would do with quiet music in the background.
 * The new website is REALLY fun. It's easy to interact with, and I'm really looking forward to the news feed being delivered to my Netvibes! ||
 * 11:00-11:50 || GPS Units and Geocaching || * Since I'll be doing this session with Angela this afternoon (and since none of the other sessions during this time slot appeal - I already know how to do those things!), I assisted Angela and Darren with this session. Yay! ||
 * 1:00-1:50 || GPS Units and Geocaching || * This was a fun session! We had a good small group and they picked up the GPS "skills" really quickly. ||
 * 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 || * This was NOT a fun introduction to the senior team. Very tense. I can definitely see how the "they don't get along" rumors get started. ||
 * 10:00-10:50 || Teacher's Toolkit: Building Up to Project-Based Learning || * Don't forget about the benefits of planning backwards. ||
 * 11:00-11:50 || Social Bookmarking || * This was the worst session I've been to! I was SO UNPREPARED!!!!! Personally, I find social bookmarking to be one of the most difficult concepts to teach. Sharon, however, was phenomenal. Totally on top of her game. ||
 * 1:00-1:50 || Using Blogging to Improve Writing || * I am hoping to try using a blog in my class sometime this year. ||
 * 2:00-2:25 || Reflection Time ||  ||
 * 2:30-3:30 || Meet with Departments ||  ||
