Brainstorming for Summer 2010
Signs for Pro Dev Rooms [|Door Signs.flipchart]

Ticket idea to help track attendance to reduce overcrowding (close a session). Tickets: Different color per time slot: Session Name, Time, and teacher will sign the back - Corri Baker Tables are in the "lobby" that have information about each session. Teachers grab tickets, with session info, that they would like to attend. Teachers can trade tickets if they would like to switch sessions.
