Ängste und Folgen
Jenke von Wilmsdorff wagt ein neues Experiment. Wie fühlt es sich an, alt auszusehen? Wie wird man als Greis behandelt? Dank einer speziellen Maske wird Jenke aussehen wie ein
80-Jähriger. Ein Anzug simuliert das Altsein. Eine Brille vermindert die Sehfähigkeit, Kopfhörer lassen ihn schlechter hören. Bleiweste und Gewichte an Armen und Beinen simulieren den Schwund der Muskelkraft.
Der Film zeigt, dass, für uns normale Dinge, ältere Menschen vor eine große Herausforderung stellen. So wird das Überqueren der Fahrbahn bei Grün zu einem Abenteuer, weil die Ampelphasen für Menschen mit Bewegungseinschränkung zu kurz sind. Essen und Trinken werden zu einer Herausforderung, wenn man vom Alterszittern geplagt wird.
Auch das Tabuthema Liebe und Sexualität im Alter wird behandelt.
Eine Woche lang wir Jenke in ein Altersheim einziehen und den Alltag miterleben. Er lernt Frau Seelbach kennen, die ihm Mut macht und ihm die Angst vor dem Altwerden ein wenig nimmt. Er bekommt die Gewissheit, dass man es in einer solchen Einrichtung durchaus aushalten kann.
Gemeinsam mit dem umfangreichen Begleitmaterial im Datenteil ist die DVD bestens zum Einsatz im Unterricht geeignet.

Then the fundamental rights of an author are cited and it is shown how these are exploited in our times. In the third chapter, the respective rights are illustrated by way of practice-oriented examples of books, photos, music and films.

A further chapter highlights the problems arising with the Internet and goes into the citation law and pirate copies.

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.

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.
