Design and TechnologyStills from our new title/series

WebsitesWebsites are the primary means of communication with the world for businesses and other organisations, governments, groups and individuals. They perform a range of functions and many considerations go into their design. This program explores the importance of effective and functional website design and the design process, including establishing a brief, creating base templates and style sheets, constructing and populating a site, testing and launch. Expert comments are provided by commercial designer Stephen Davey from Pagination, and Dr Meghan Kelly from Deakin University.

Design in the Real WorldFor businesses, governments, not-for-profits and other organisations, design is critical. Their image and messages must be presented effectively to customers and other stakeholders. In this series, two crucial areas of design are examined – the design of logos and websites.

LogosCompanies and other organisations rely on logos to convey information and create brand recognition. Their design is critical – time, creativity, expertise and often, vast sums of money, are invested into their creation – but what are the principles and elements of excellent logo design? This program explores various aspects of logo design including the various purposes for which logos are required, how they might be used and the different places they might be displayed, the logo design process and the importance of excellent communication with clients. Expert comments come from Deakin University lecturer Dr Meghan Kelly, commercial designers Stephen Davey and Chelsea Koetsveld, and one of her clients, business owner Nick McEwan-Hall.

History Stills from our new title/series

The Geography of Ancient EgyptThis program explores the captivating civilisation of Ancient Egypt, with a focus on the critical importance of the country’s geography. Find out how the Nile River and its resources sustained daily life, enhanced the Pharaoh’s power, led to the development of writing and provided a vital transport and communications link which unified the nation for thousands of years.


Ancient EgyptLearn how Ancient Egyptians used the region’s resources to sustain daily life, trade and battle with neighbours, and build a powerful and enduring civilisation.

Trade and Conflict in Ancient EgyptAncient Egypt rose to dominate the Middle East for thousands of years because of its natural resources, political unity and military strength. Egyptians conducted trade with people in Africa, the Mediterranean and across the Red Sea, but there were also conflicts with neighbours. Two key military campaigns - the Battle of Megiddo and the Battle of Kadesh - led by Thutmose III and Ramesses II are vividly explored in this program.

Index Notation and Prime FactorsThis video provides a short lesson on index notation and representing whole numbers as products of powers of prime numbers. Examples of raising base numbers to different powers are shown. Prime and composite numbers are explained and factor trees are used to express numbers as products of their prime factors, determine HCF (highest common factor) and LCM (lowest common multiple). Step by step graphics are included which are ideal for reinforcing concepts.

Numbers and AlgebraThis series explores concepts from the numbers and algebra strand of mathematics.

Best Buys: Buying or Making SandwichesA group of friends are planning a lunch and compare the costs of pre-made lunches versus making it themselves. They investigate their options by comparing total costs and per person costs. Calculations are determined with and without digital technologies. This resource is ideal for applying mathematical concepts to real world situations.

Perfect Squares and Square RootsThis video investigates and uses square roots of perfect square numbers to create and solve equations. Viewers will learn how to determine the square roots of perfect squares, and determine if a number is a perfect square using technology and factor trees. Step by step graphics are included which are ideal for reinforcing concepts.


Basic Index Laws: Game, Set, MatchThis video demonstrates how to use index notation to establish index laws with positive integral indices and the zero index. Using the example of Grand Slam tennis tournaments, our narrator constructs his own school based tennis tournament draw using index laws with two as the base number. Viewers also learn how to multiply and divide numbers in index form with the same base. This program is ideal for applying mathematical concepts to real world situations.

Calculating Profit: Earning Your Bread and ButterOur presenter is interested in running her own café and decides to see what profit can be made from selling sandwiches. She works through the individual costs of sandwich ingredients to compare against café sandwich prices, then calculates her potential profit (percentage). She quickly learns there’s more to her costs than just ingredients. This program is ideal for applying mathematical concepts to real world situations.

Destination Distances on a Cartesian PlaneWhen the Smithton River floods five local towns, a plane needs to drop supplies at each. A route needs to be determined that will reach the most affected areas first, while ensuring the plane has enough fuel between stops, and that the pilot complies with regulations about consecutive flying hours. Follow the relief operation as we use a Cartesian plane to determine the distances between each town and plan a successful operation. Strategies used include Pythagoras’ Theorem and graphing software.

Graphing Distance and Time: A Runner’s StoryThis video follows a runner graphing his running distance and speed. He explains what happened along the route that affected his speed, translating this information onto a graph and accounting for the varying steepness of gradients between different points along his graphed journey. This is an excellent resource for applying mathematical concepts to real world situations.

Line Graphs: Gradients and MidpointsThis video follows a sprinter graphing her distance and speed for two separate sprints. The first sprint is at a constant speed, resulting in a straight line graph. In the second sprint, her graph reflects three distinct intervals as her speed differs over the course. Follow along as she determines gradients, midpoints, her average speeds for both sprints, as well as her speeds at different intervals. This is an excellent resource for applying mathematical concepts to real world situations.

Simultaneous Equations on the Golf CourseThis video demonstrates how to solve simultaneous equations, using the example of golfers determining par and handicaps. Substitution, elimination and graphing software methods are all used to solve equations. This resource is ideal for applying mathematical concepts to real world situations.

Basketball, Parabolas and CirclesThere’s a lot of geometry on a basketball court! This video explores the connection between algebraic and graphical representations of relations such as simple quadratics, circles and exponentials through examples of lines on a basketball court, and the trajectory of free throws. This program is ideal for reinforcing concepts.


Solving Quadratic Equations in Cricket and RowingOur presenter applies algebraic knowledge of quadratic equations to two sports events. First, he determines the height of a batted cricket ball and the amount of time it is in the air. Next, he determines the speed at which a rower travels upstream and downstream. This short video is ideal for applying mathematical concepts to real world situations.

Highs and LowsPhoebe Garrett’s life was perfect. She was a very healthy and happy twelve-year-old girl. But suddenly she started feeling thirsty and tired, and she began losing weight. Being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 12 was a devastating blow for Phoebe and her family. But, with the help of her family and friends, she tells us exactly how she has met the challenges head on and now enjoys her busy and fulfilling life. Made specifically for Secondary schools, this resource provides an intimate and honest look at Type 1 diabetes; what it is, its challenges, effects and above all how it is treated and managed today. 2014 | 22 min | Australia | CC | PLUS
