Created in 2008 by BBC News, BBC News School Report gives 11-14 year-old students in the UK the chance to make their own news reports for a real audience. Using lesson plans and materials from the BBC News School Report website, and with support from BBC staff, teachers help students develop their journalistic skills to become School Reporters. Materials include lesson plans by BBC News reporter Huw Edwards and accompanying videos.
The European Chain Reaction is a science/art project and competition which challenges primary schools across Europe to create, film and upload a "Rube-Goldberg/Robert Storm Petersen-like" chain reaction. Through the contest, children learn more about science and computers in a fun way and in the end all submitted chain videos are merged into a big cross-border European chain reaction.
Armi di distruzione di massa or ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’ is a video clip that aims to raise awareness about the risks of drunk driving. As it is part of a bigger Road Safety project by the producing Italian school, it is integrated with traditional teaching activities and relevant events organised by the school.
The INgeBEELD Media Wisdom Platform aims to share know-how on media literacy and media wisdom with teachers in training or in practice but is also open to anyone who wishes to learn more about this. It includes both text and audiovisual materials (clips, films, photographs, interviews, music, etc.) and is made up of user-generated content.
Monkey Labs, a series of educational video games, was developed in 2009 by game studio Larian Studios and educational book publisher die Keure (Belgium). Monkey Labs I, the first in this series, is a 3D videogame in which students have to solve various mathematics challenges.
