Air Traffic
Mobility around the World
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. Which risks do we run but, on the other hand, which chances are we offered because of air traffic? Who makes use of the opportunity to travel by the fastest means of transport of the world? As part of globalisation, goods or spare parts are manufactured all over the world and must reach the consumer within a short time. However, an airport is not only important for the infrastructure and as an employer, at the same time it affects the local residents' quality of life through the numerous starts and landings. The film "Air Traffic“ and its accompanying worksheets provide answers to all these fascinating questions. The diversified accompanying material also offers helpful suggestions as to how to arrange the topic air traffic in an exciting way for classroom use.

Internet Addiction
The film consists of two parts. The first part is the 15-minute short film “In the Net”. It describes the problem of excessive Internet use in a humorous way, in particular the risk of losing touch with reality when chatting. The second part illustrates with three real persons how Internet addiction can develop and the problems encountered by those who are afflicted. The authentic statements are commented by an experienced therapist. For many pupils, the issues addressed here are related to their everyday lives. What is a “sensible” use of the Internet, where does pathological addiction start? In contrast to addiction to alcohol, nicotine or drugs, the public seems to be largely ignorant of the problem of this addiction, which is not related to any substance abuse. The film provides material for discussion in the classroom (crossdisciplinary) and can be used as a basis for the formulation of prevention strategies.
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.
