Accidents and injuries occur without warning. When incidents happen in public places, often the welfare of the victim depends on the level of help they receive before qualified paramedics or other professionals can attend to them. For this reason, it makes a lot of sense that as many people as possible have some basic skills in first aid. This programme provides a rundown of the issues involved, and the main types of injuries that occur in the community and how they should be treated. It includes what to do in an emergency; legal and moral aspects of first aid; fractures, dislocations, strains and sprains; neck, head and spinal injuries; hypothermia and hyperthermia; and CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) – (both hands-only, and hand and mouth procedures). It provides clear verbal and visual information, portraying some typical scenarios in public places where immediate first aid intervention is required, and demonstrating the correct ways to administer relevant procedures. This programme is an ideal learning resource for those studying first aid at an introductory level. Show Less

Home can be a potentially dangerous place. A vast number of accidents resulting in injury occur in and around the home.

It includes what to do in an emergency, an outline and demonstration of the DRABCD procedure, dealing with burns, scalds and electrocution, cuts, laceration and bleeding, poisoning and overdose, asthma, allergies and anaphylaxis, and heart attack, stroke, diabetes and epilepsy.

This programme is an ideal learning resource for those studying first aid at an introductory level. Show Less

Wikis and blogs are becoming increasingly available on the Internet for anyone to read or create their own. They are also increasingly being used as teaching tools in the classroom. In this programme, we discuss what wikis and blogs are and the differences between them. Students and teachers alike will see how these tools can be used in education, through various examples of use in the classroom. Viewers also meet the CEO and founder of edublogs.com, John Farmer, who demonstrates how easy it is to create your very own wikis and blogs. This is a fascinating look at how incorporating these online tools teaching and learning can enhance and encourage participation in any classroom. Show Less

Four young primary school students are encountering problems in the schoolyard. Peer mediators are assigned to help sort out their issues - without teacher involvement - by listening, understanding and empowering them to agree on a solution. Peer mediation is an effective initiative to enable intervention with minor issues and prevent them from becoming major problems and learning distractions. Older students, equipped with training and a mediator's kit, are trained and empowered to mediate their younger peers and make them feel comfortable to talk about their problems. By listening and understanding, they can guide young students to agree on solutions and manage future problems. Show Less

Effective schools develop strategies to ensure learning is the key focus and the school is a friendly place. They use open communication and focus groups to engage students, staff and parents in the planning process, to review and develop ideas for improvement. Effective schools have practical strategies for managing bullying and difficult students. Peer mediation is an innovative way to develop student leaders, and to help students manage conflict, build confidence and develop negotiation skills. Teachers need to be goal focused and ensure students are connected, happy and motivated to learn. Show Less

Maths is fun - at least it can be when you know how! This clear and concise programme explains how to encourage students to develop their numeracy skills through enjoyable yet challenging activities. These activities are designed to help students explore and think for themselves, share strategies, and gain genuine understanding of concepts. Importantly, it also encourages the time to practise and discuss, enabling students to learn from each other and share their experiences. As students explore the activities, they develop stronger numeracy skills and methods to find solutions. This is a solid yet inspiring way to engage students in modern maths. Show Less

Learning to read and write can be fun! But to achieve this it helps to have a strong and effective framework to work within. In this practical and enlightening programme, we see exactly how it can be done. By identifying individual needs and implementing effective teaching methods, students can be motivated to learn through creative programmes and word games that they actually enjoy. This programme demonstrates shared reading, guided reading, and uses Learning Centres to make the learning focus clear through rephrasing, reinforcement and summarising, and it encourages students to predict, reflect, discuss and support each other.

Students of today are more technologically advanced than ever before. They live their lives with technology at their fingertips. In this programme we discuss how education systems are undergoing a transformation, and how e-learning is becoming further integrated into the classroom. We look at the benefits of e-learning, and how by engaging students on a level and with material to which they will respond can make a teacher's job easier. Introducing e-learning methods and strategies, we also investigate the benefits of Learning Management Systems and how this change in teaching methods is benefiting both teachers and students.

Bullying is complex, insidious and covert behaviour that is difficult for any child to deal with in isolation. Our drive and instinct as parents is to protect and support our child and equip them with skills to handle what life presents. The key to tackling school bullying is to create a partnership between teachers, parents, students and the broader community. This programme will support parents who want to work in partnership with their child's school to bring about a suitable outcome for children involved in bullying. By doing this, parents will become their child's best advocate rather than a source that inflames the bullying. Show Less

Bullying - it's a part of school life, but does it have to be? Preventing and responding to bullying is everyone's responsibility. Not in Our School looks at the whole school approach to bullying. This approach focuses on a school's formal curriculum and classroom practices and involves all members of the school community. This programme highlights the steps to building a safe school, skills-building for students, peer support systems and student-directed campaigns. We feature expert opinion from Professor Ken Rigby, Psychologist Helen McGrath and Maree Stanley of the Better Buddies Program, and provide insights into approaches adopted by two Australian schools.

Responsibility for learning now lies with students, who are central to their own learning process, not teachers as in the past. Student-centred learning focuses on how students learn, what they experience, what they bring to the classroom and how they engage. This programme addresses what student-centered learning is, how it works and why schools are incorporating it. With comments from educational experts, teachers and students, we also explore the whole school approach to student-centered learning, various strategies to facilitate it and typical scenarios in a student-centered learning classroom.
