 * SIGN UP FOR TWO CONSECUTIVE BLOCKS OF TIME IF YOU FEEL THAT TWENTY MINUTES IS NOT ENOUGH*
 * **Time** || **Name** || **Room** || **What do you want help with and what is the educational objective that you are addressing?** ||
 * 9:00 - 9:30 || Liz Sheslow (phone conference) ||  || Liz wasn't able to be at John Leach today, so I tried to help her in a phone conference. She wanted to be able to use the voice recording ability with the Smartboard. I told her that one of the tools within the Smart Notebook tools was a voice recorder, so all she had to do was make sure the mic was plugged in, then use the record tool to record either her voice or her students voices. ||
 * 9:30 - 9:50 || Chretien, Miyashiro, Merrick, Kiser || 7 team || This group of teachers wanted to get templates of Smartboard activities, then see how to change them. The Smartboard was being used by another teacher, so we went into the computer lab, and I showed them how to use Smart Exchange. Exchange had a great new option to search for special education activities, so the teachers really liked that. I also showed them how to easily preview the activities. The computer teacher said that soon all the computers in the school will have Smart Notebook so next time I'll be able to show them how to make changes even if we don't have access to the Smartboard. She also told me when the teachers left that most of the classrooms will be fitted with Smartboards by next year. ||
 * 9:50 - 10:15 ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 10:20 - 10:40 ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 10:40 - 11:05 ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 11:10 - 11:30 || Nuss || 3 || Again we didn't have access to the Smartboard, so I walked her through how to search for the calendar on Smart Notebook. After she wrote that down, I talked her through how to change the calendar dates, and how to drag different pictures into the calendar. She also wanted to make sure her kids could write in the calendar, which I told her she could. Next time I may have to show her how to do all of these things on the Smartboard. ||
 * 11:30 - 11:55 ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 12:35 - 1:00 ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 1:00 - 1:20 ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 1:25 - 1:50 ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 1:50 - 2:10 ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 2:15 - 2:35 || Conway || 10 || Megan wanted to get some templates that she could easily change. We had access to the Smartboard, so I showed her how to get to Smart Exchange, then how to preview and download the lesson. After we downloaded a lesson, I showed her how to make changes to it, then save it in her own file. Finally, I showed her that she can get Smart Notebook on her home computer, then make these changes from home. She liked that idea because she didn't want to work on the only Smartboard late into the day. Next time I will work with her to create her own lesson. ||
 * 2:35 - 3:00 ||  ||   ||   ||
