Computer Tip: Get
videos from Google
videos. The UCTV lecture series has posted many videos on line in
the Google videos. You can also get RealPlayer video files of lectures
from uctv.com. Many will be
suitable for students if you view first and prepare students for the
depth of the talk in advance: graphic organizers to fill in, questions
to answer during film, etc |

These films are rich in issues,
technology, and problem-solving.
I have used parts of these movies to illustrate a point without using
the entire movie is deemed inappropriate.
Gattaca and The Handmaid's
Tale are not included for reasons of adult content. These 2
movies with Bladerunner make a highly thought-provoking package
for students mature enough to handle the content along with the issues.

in these, but without a clear lesson objective, the educational value is
not as clear since class time restraints are precious. |
