=**Harpeth Hall Web 2.0 Resource List **=

Our Human Resources (members of the PLP team):
 * Ben Abraham
 * Karen Douse
 * Kim Nadell
 * Jackie Powers
 * Melissa Wert

This wiki is a collaborative effort and the final project for our year-long PLP participation. Our goal was to develop a tool for all teachers to use to promote effective teaching and learning and to carry out Harpeth Hall's mission and core purpose.

We have wiki pages for a number of Web 2.0 resources (see the list to the left in the Navigation column). To learn more about any of these tools and to see actual examples created by Harpeth Hall faculty, visit the relevant page(s). Feel free to contact any of the PLP team members for a one-on-one conversation about these topics. If you have a resource you would like to add, go to the Actions menu and add a New Page. We anticipate this wiki growing in breadth and depth as time passes by.

Harpeth Hall is an independent college preparatory school for young women where each student realizes her highest intellectual ability, becomes fluent in the sciences, the humanities, and the arts, and discovers her creative and athletic talents. Harpeth Hall develops responsible citizens who have global perspectives and make meaningful contributions to their communities and the world. With a tradition of excellence and a commitment to life-long learning, Harpeth Hall educates young women to think critically, to lead confidently, and to live honorably. Our core purpose is to nurture a sense of wonder; to instill a will and facility for learning; and to promote cultural understanding, environmental stewardship, and service to others. The pursuit of these goals will inspire students and faculty to combine knowledge with goodness, and reflection with action.
