Hooked On Books

In "Hooked on Books" students are encouraged to take time to read, share and reflect with children in their class, their country, world-wide. Book reviews are accepted throughout the school year. Students post their reviews in KidSpace and/or Kidproj mailing list and receive feedback.

Though there could be suggested themes during the year, there are no pre-selected books students wish to read.

Ideas for online projects
Since the late 1990's, OzProjects has been a registry to assist teachers to find suitable online curriculum projects. The purpose of this new OzProjects site is to create a more dynamic and interactive space for Australian school students and teachers. In the glossary below you'll find some of the online project ideas we have collected over the years and that we hope will whet your appetite for creating your own online projects and learning spaces.

OzProjects Staffroom Challenges Feedback

This feedback activity has been created for teachers who are experimenting and takiing on challenges posed by the OzProjects Team in the OzProjects Staffroom Project at
http://www.ozprojects.edu.au/course/view.php?id=45
The purpose of the Staffroom space is to allow teachers who have, or are thinking of enrolling their classes into OzProjects to gain some familiarity with using the moodle environment. We also hope that by playing in the collaborative Staffroom space teachers will gain the confidence to set up their own collaborative online project space within OzProjects. All participants in the Staffroom Project are given editing rights. If you are not enrolled in the Staffroom and would like to be please contact the OzProjects Team at
