Programming
Coding with Bee-Bot, Scratch and Robotics
There are a lot of things in the world whose functioning and appearance were determined even before they are perceived or before they occur.
It is already determined in a nut or seed what the tree or the flower will look like.
Genetic information of living beings is determined by a defined sequence, a code. This code forms a kind of alphabet of life, and life follows this established code.
Robots, too, follow an established code. The way a robot moves has been determined beforehand by a series of commands. The robot only performs what was written down before via rules and signs in a specially coded language. The code guides the robot.
So coding or programming means, simplified, that in a first step a language is agreed upon with signs and rules with which then, in a second step, codes can be determined that are understood and executed.

Air Traffic
Being able to fly has been a dream of humanity from time immemorial. But it does not even date back a century that people actually started being able to travel through the air. Since the 1960s, the number of flight passengers has been constantly increasing. Thus, the airspace is no longer dominated by birds but by man-made flying objects.
Podcasting
Today, the use of new media has become a matter of course not only in everyday life – schools and teaching, too, benefit from the new technologies and methods, which support active and independent learning. Especially in computer science, ethics and language courses but also in all other subjects, modern media are a valuable pedagogic and didactic asset. This DVD uses the example of podcasts to demonstrate how the possibilities opened up by new media can be applied in the classroom and how the pupils can be taught to handle them in a competent and target-oriented manner. The film is aimed at supporting the use of podcasts at school and encourages making them. This also requires the ability to find information on the Internet and assess it. The film informs on the functionality of podcasts and technical background as well as on the teaching and learning possibilities offered by podcasts – ranging from specific contents to superordinate learning targets such as the advancement of creativity and team spirit. The DVD is a useful support for teachers applying new media and wishing to show their pupils how to handle Running Time: 20:29 ms them in a sensible way.
