Our Weather
Formation and Forecast
In everyday life we are confronted with this topic on a daily basis. It is part of our lives. The weather determines our daily routine more than we tend to think. Children, in particular, have a lot of questions on the subject. How does the weather form? What different forms of clouds are there? How is a weather forecast made? Why does it rain? These are only a few of them. The film looks into these questions and answers them in terms and pictures suitable for young pupils. Looking to the future, the problems of climate change and greenhouse effect are also dealt with. In addition, the film conveys to the children how important it is to treat our earth with sensitivity. As a special bonus, this DVD offers fast-motion picture material from weather stations as well as satellite pictures made available by the German meteorological service, which can be accessed via the DVD menu. Together with the didactically arranged accompanying material, this DVD is perfectly suited for the classroom both as an introduction to the complex topic of the weather and as a tool in the hands of the pupils when working individually or preparing projects.

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.
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.
