Volcanos
Fascinating Firemountains
When volcanos are mentioned in the media, this is usually in connection with devastating eruptions, which come with massive damage and a great number of victims. However, volcanos can also be quite useful – either as tourist attractions or as suppliers of valuable resources. This DVD offers an introduction to volcanism. For this purpose, the following subjects are treated in four film clips: “Structure of Volcanos” – there can be considerable structural differences among the firemountains; “Types of Eruption” – depending on the composition of the magma, explosive or effusive eruptions occur; “Moderate Activities” – in between and after larger eruptions a volcano never rests completely; “Mining Products and their Use” – the materials discharged are diverse and often useful. When choosing the examples of volcanic regions (the Eifel and South Italy), the proven didactic principle “from near to far” was observed. In view of the relative proximity of the regions, the film is suitable for the preparation of field trips, which are expressly to be encouraged.

Earthquakes
For millennia, people have been afraid of earthquakes. A force of nature that regularly devastates whole regions and claims thousands of lives. One reason for the fear of earthquakes may be that so far people have not succeeded in predicting these natural phenomena. Therefore, earthquakes still hit people unprepared in most regions of the world.
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.
