Karl der Große
Eroberer, Heiliger, Kaiser
Ein Beiname Karls des Großen ist „Pater Europae“, der „Vater Europas“. Jährlich wird in Aachen der Karlspreis an Politikerinnen und Politiker verliehen, die sich um die europäische Einigung verdient gemacht haben. Und in der Tat, das riesige Reich, das er regierte, umfasst die europäischen Kernstaaten und Deutsche wie Franzosen reklamieren ihn gleichermaßen als den Stammvater ihrer Nation. Der Film nähert sich dieser legendenumwobenen Person an und macht ihn für Schülerinnen und Schüler fassbar. Er geht der Frage nach ob Karl ein Heiliger oder doch eher ein grausamer Kriegsherr war. In Verbindung mit dem umfangreichen Zusatzmaterial (Arbeitsblätter, interaktive Aufgaben, Testfrage) lässt sich das Medium hervorragend im Unterricht verwenden. Die interaktiven Aufgaben wurden mit H5P erstellt und können ohne weitere Software verwendet werden.

Youth Movement
Dancing until your feet hurt: Here, at the meeting on the Hoher Meissner near Kassel, 3,500 participants from Boy Scout associations, youth and Wandervogel groups from all over the German-speaking region have gathered. They want to celebrate, simply get to know each other and commemorate a historic anniversary.
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.
The Daily Newspaper
Every day, there is a surge of news reaching us via different news channels. In spite of TV and Internet, the daily paper still is one of the most important main sources of news. But how is a newspaper created? The film shows the production of a paper in the course of one day. Starting with the editorial meeting in the morning, in which the topics and deadlines are determined, the film accompanies a journalist during her research work. You can see how a journalistic interview is conducted and what the photographer must consider when taking a press photo. Back in the editorial office, the editor’s work is illustrated, which includes the page layout and the writing of an online article in today’s time. Impressive pictures from the printing centre depict the process from the digital page to the finished newspaper. Together with the comprehensive accompanying material, the DVD is perfectly suited for use at school
