3D Printing
Methods, Materials, Future Prospects
Layer by layer, a three-dimensional form is being created here – a chess piece. Just like that, from a printer – however, a special one: a 3D printer. Thus, the dream of being able to manufacture three-dimensional pieces yourself at home becomes reality. In industry, professional 3D printers play an increasingly important part. Different methods and materials enable the production of a broad variety of objects. This ranges from workpieces to medical demonstration objects to model pieces and even foods, like marzipan in this example. The possibilities of application seem to be almost unlimited. As preferred materials, different plastics and metals are primarily used. With this method, a whole new kind of production becomes possible. Material that has so far been reduced or formed by processing is expanded here step by step. Therefore, this is also referred to as additive manufacturing, i.e. manufacturing by addition. But how exactly does a 3D printer work? What is it already able or still unable to do today? And will this technology have an impact on our work life?

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.
Tolerance
“Tolerance means being generous and kind to other people and helping them, too.”
Air Traffic
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.
