Alexander
Explorer and Conqueror
Without doubt, after Alexander the Great, the world was not the same as before. During his reign of only elven years, he founded the largest world empire in the history of antiquity. He conquered Asia Minor, Egypt and Persia and advanced as far as India. Due to his conquests, the Greek and oriental cultures blended into Hellenism, which shaped the ancient world for more than 300 years. Alexander was one of the most important commanders and statesmen in history. An impressive personality with a strong will. He risked his own life in battles and was a model of courage and vigour for his soldiers. He could be generous towards his minions and adversaries, but also very cruel. He was intent on expanding Greek civilisation to the end of the known world. But who was the real Alexander, subject of numerous legends?

Computer Games
This film covers the topic of computer games in a variety of ways and from many different angles. Apart from the fascina- tion of computer games for users, the historical development as well as the production of computer games are described. The established genres are introduced, the guidelines of the German BPjM are explained. In light of recent public discussions, a neutral overview of the pros and cons of playing computer games is given, and different kinds of player behaviour are outlined. In this film, the pupils will recognise many aspects of their favourite pastime that encourage an independent, constructive use of this medium and reinforce their media competency. The film and teaching material are very closely related to the real-life situation.
Rights and Obligations
Three girls of different ages: Anna is 17, Paula 15 and Lena 13. Before the law, their respective ages have consequences – because children and adolescents have different rights and also obligations.
Blogging
The weblog or blog, for short, as a medium is not much older than this century. Blogs came into being in the World Wide Web as ’messages from below’, as web pages from web creators who wanted to share their view of the world with the world. They are short notes, long texts, pictures, videos, which are posted loosely and at random intervals to the world for an undefined public.
