The Border
An Inter-German Conflict Zone
The DVD helps students, who have no first-hand recollection of the partition of Germany, to approach this problem. The film illustrates the historical development of the inner- German border from 1945 to 1989. The example of Point Alpha also sheds some light on the Cold War – not without reason, the camp has been considered the „hottest spot of the Cold War“. Photos of the German Border Police, pictures from the exhibitions at the memorial Point Alpha near Fulda and the „house at the border“ create a vivid impression of the partition of Germany. Ninth-form students interviewed contemporary witnesses for the film: one of the American commanders at Camp Point Alpha (Steven Steininger), the former mayor of Fulda (Dr. Wolfgang Hamberger) and two border guards of the West German Border Police, Erwin Ritter and Gerd Leinert. Bertold Dücker describes his escape across the border. After the almost complete dismantling of the border installations, only few remains of the former border can still be seen today. The film provides background material and points out Running Time: 22:29 ms how important it is to visit the memorial.

The Daily Newspaper
Every day, there is a surge of news reaching us via different news channels. In spite of TV and Internet, the daily paper still is one of the most important main sources of news. But how is a newspaper created? The film shows the production of a paper in the course of one day. Starting with the editorial meeting in the morning, in which the topics and deadlines are determined, the film accompanies a journalist during her research work. You can see how a journalistic interview is conducted and what the photographer must consider when taking a press photo. Back in the editorial office, the editor’s work is illustrated, which includes the page layout and the writing of an online article in today’s time. Impressive pictures from the printing centre depict the process from the digital page to the finished newspaper. Together with the comprehensive accompanying material, the DVD is perfectly suited for use at school
Mobile Learning II
Oh, what’s that? Original soundtrack Thissen: “As our children grow up in a media world and naturally handle the media, they should also be a topic in school.“ An older child says the point is that they don’t just load down apps but create things themselves that haven’t existed so far. Hi, I’m Jana. A propeller hat. I’ll put it on. Now I’m no longer a simple rhino, but a flying rhino. Original soundtrack Thissen: “It’s exactly the great flexibility of tablets that promotes very personalised and adapted learning.” Original soundtrack Welzel: “It’s fascinating to see how the children grow with their products and how they always want to improve them.” The Westminster Abbey is a church in London for the royal family. Original soundtrack Welzel: “And?“ They think it is ok.
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.
