Interactive Whiteboards
Teaching – Creating – Presenting
Although the computer found its way into school some time ago already, it has mostly led a marginal existence so far, banished to extra practice rooms or to the side of the classroom. With the new medium of the interactive whiteboard the computer promptly becomes the focus of the lessons as the central hub. On the digital board that projects contents via a beamer like on an oversized computer monitor, pictures and texts as well as audio and video files can be displayed. The possibilities of representation on this new white board, the whiteboard, seem to be almost unlimited compared to the traditional blackboard. But with the help of the board things cannot just be better represented, the computer-connected board can, in addition, be used by teachers and pupils as a universal tool. On it, content in a new - that is interactive - form can be searched online, organised and presented in the classroom.

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.
