School librarians should be able to help identify and locate other useful periodicals.
Newspaper reports
Many newspapers carry regular pages, columns and features relevant to Marine Science.
Community newspapers can be a particularly useful source for local information. The compilation
of news files on particular topics can broaden the students’ knowledge base and provide a
valuable source of material for developing assessment instruments.
Electronic media and learning technology
A wide range of electronic media, e.g. DVDs, are available on a variety of topics of relevance to
Marine Science. Learning technologies, e.g. software programs, are used to access information
in a variety of forms, and to help students gain information communication and technology skills.
Educational program distributors are able to supply up-to-date resource lists.
Television programs on free-to-air and pay television are a source of useful programs. ABC radio
and television frequently feature programs and series that deal with aspects of the marine
environment (such as ‘Catalyst’, and series featuring David Attenborough).
The Discovery Channel and the National Geographic channel on pay television frequently
broadcast programs of value.
Films could also be used to enhance a course of study. Examples include The Cove
www.thecovemovie.com, End of the Line http://endoftheline.com/ and An Inconvenient Truth.
Video Education Australasia provides a range of educational films, including Human Planet
(Oceans — Into the Blue), State of the Planet's Oceans, Global Environments Series (Reefs) and
Fearless Planet Series (Great Barrier Reef).
Organisations such as CoralWatch provide education videos such as Coral Reefs and Climate
Change (Educational Video Series).
