Introduction
'Ollie's World' is the umbrella site for the suite of "Ollie"
web sites, produced to support the "Ollie" Programs in
various countries. 'Ollie's World' contains two sections - one for
adults and one for kids.
Adult section
The adult section contains information about:
- Educational concepts for each Ollie Program
- Details about the companies and organisations involved in each
Program
- How companies and organisations can become involved in supporting
the distribution of Ollie CD ROMs into schools and community groups
throughout the world.
- News on current events related to the Ollie Programs.
- Information for teachers and community groups.
- The Ollie online shop, where Ollie software and associated products
can be purchased.
Kids' section
The extensive kids' section has information for children worldwide,
about the 4Rs:
- Reduce
- Reuse
- Recycle, and
- Rethink.
These concepts are applied to 5 action issues:
- Waste
- Water
- Energy
- Air, and
- Biodiversity
These issues are brought into context under the organising principle
of Sustainability.
Our Goal for Ollie's World
Our goal is to make Ollie's World a child-friendly, comprehensive
resource centre - presenting information on all sorts of issues
relating to sustainability principles. Characters and activities
from the 'Ollie' CD ROM Programs are incorporated into a fun and
stimulating website. Children can extend their knowledge of sustainability
and its related issues, in a fun and entertaining way.
Examples, activities and competitions
The Ollie's World website maximises the power of the Internet
by showcasing examples of sustainable practices, developed in homes,
schools and businesses from around the world. It hosts a range
of
activities and competitions in which students are asked to:
- Take action in their local areas, then
- Record and present their results in their own web pages.
Ollie's web building software
To create their web sites, students or schools can use Ollie's
web page authoring software, available on the 'Ollie' CD ROM - or
from this website.
Publication of competition winners
The web sites created by competition winners will be published
as part of 'Ollie's World', in the Gallery section. These documented
projects will act as examples of best practice in a variety of areas,
and will be a source of inspiration for teachers and other students
around the world.
