= = = = =**Web 2.0 Resources....**= For several years web 2.0 tools have been alive and well in Germantown Academy's Lower School. Led by Sue Hunsinger-Hoff (5th grade), the Lower School Faculty Professional Development: Interdisciplinary Studies "InterD" group meets monthly to share resources and ideas they have integrated into their curriculum. All Lower School faculty are welcome to attend. This model of collaboration and sharing has proven to be successful in transforming learning among teachers and students in the Lower School. In an effort to reach our goal of collaboration among faculty in ALL divisions of Germantown Academy, we hope to replicate this model across the other two divisions as well. To that end, this wiki page will serve as GA's "All School" web 2.0 resouce page. Listed below are some of the resources that the Lower School faculty have integrated into their curriculum.
