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.
Imprinting consists of two video clips documenting the educational aspect of the merger of one generation to another, showing for instance pupils who are learning geometry through both traditional as well as technology-based exercises. Imprinting was created and directed by teachers and students of an Italian junior secondary school
Changing Lives is a video explaining the different aspects that are involved in organising a local sports club for Special Olympics Ireland to new volunteers (and starting clubs). It guides you through the different volunteer roles and shows the common sports activities as well as some related activities you might not think of which are organised in a sports club.
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.
Evolution of life is a website offering original teaching materials about the evolution of life. Evolutionary concepts and evolutionary biology as a modern and relevant science are explained and shown through animation movies (the origin of life as seen by the water molecule Piccolina), documentaries (the effect of human actions on the evolution of animals) and simulations (the states of water, the movement of tectonic plates, ...). These teaching resources can be accessed by everyone who wishes to learn more about evolution.
