fundamental belief in empowering children. We believe
children have a powerful voice that is relatable, healing
and hopeful. Ultimately, we want children to know they are
not alone in what they are experiencing and that much can
be learned by simply listening to another child’s story.

be more successful in their careers. But it’s not enough

so that you know which ones to emphasize throughout
the job search. This video helps you do just that.

required to be considered. This video covers the
purpose and value of resumes, cover letters, portfolios,
and other job search materials. It gives suggestions
for making the most of those documents and suggests
resources for even more help.
“The video production is clear and the audio is crisp
and easy to understand. The film’s entertaining and
humorous approach to good customer service will make

beyond.”

DIGITAL SAFETY AND RESPONSIBILITY SERIES
Grades 3+ The innovation and evolution of digital
technologies has created a new way of teaching,
learning, socializing, and communicating. The
adoption of new digital technology is so rapid that a
uniform and proactive concept of responsible use is
often overlooked. With these constant changes, the
irresponsible, and often
dangerous and malicious use of these digital devices
can lead to negative, life-altering consequences.
The Institute for Responsible Online and Cell Phone
Communication’s (IROC) founder Richard Guerry’s*
approach is solution oriented and preventive. In the
digital world your actions are “public and permanent.”
Working with IROC, Mazzarella Media has produced a
series of programs that provides digital users, young
and old, with the information they need to make good
digital decisions.
Awareness greatly reduces the risk of becoming a
victim of a cyber-crime or digital exploitation. There
are separate age-appropriate programs and guides for
grades 3-5, 6-8 and 9-college.
Each program is divided into several 7-10 minute
chapters.
This Program also aims to inform students in the
importance of being aware of their digital behaviors.
In addition, it provides tools, tips, and comprehensive
curriculum to increase everyone’s digital awareness
and consciousness. 2011

medical experts that work on the front line of HIV-AIDS
treatment and research. They’ll also hear the stories of a
young male and female who are living with the HIV virus
today who candidly discuss how they contracted the

has had on their lives.
After viewing this program, students will come to
understand that despite the recent medical advances in
the treatment of HIV-AIDS, the risk of contracting this
devastating disease is always present and that because
everyone is at risk, they must take the necessary precautionary measures to protect themselves and to stop the

radar, graphics and storm footage, this program shows
how meteorologists and “storm chasers” use data such
as location, movement, wind speed, temperature and
air pressure to predict the course of these storms, and
provide early warnings to people living in their path.
In a hands-on experiment, students will re-create
the circular pattern of a tornado’s vortex to further
illustrate these concepts.

how to read a meteorological weather map and see the
office of the National Weather Service.
• RAIN & SNOW DVD CE4132MA116
In this program, concise explanations of the various
types of precipitation provide students with insight
into how rain, snow, sleet, hail, fog and mist form, as
well as how the water cycle -- evaporation, condensation and precipitation -- constantly “recycles” water
around the world. Students will also learn how the density of water changes in different states. See typical
weather patterns across North America, and watch how
a ski resort keeps slopes looking white.
• WIND DVD CE4133MA116
This program explores the mechanics of measuring
wind speed and direction as well as the use of wind as
an energy source. Students will also learn how wind
occurs by finding out about the roles of temperature,
air pressure and the sun. Graphics and animation will
clearly illustrate these patterns. Students will also
learn how hot-air balloons work in this exciting look at
weather’s invisible force.

of a new nation. 2004

• ALBERTO GIACOMETTI DVD CE6529MA116
When his unique and startling statues were exhibited
in New York in 1948, they immediately became icons of
20th century art. His concept of depicting the emptiness around an object had a revolutionary influence on
post-modern art. Also, his reduction of the human form
to its essential elements heralded Minimalism, one of
the 20th century’s most fruitful movements.

• FRANCIS BACON DVD CE6524MA116
“Bacon’s major impact on the art world began in
1944 with his Three Studies for Figures at the Base
of a Crucifixion. Though he was initially inspired by
Surrealism, Bacon’s work was frequently influenced
by the imagery of the old masters, usually translated
into blurred and gory figures imprisoned in unspecific,
architectural settings.“
• HENRI MATISSE DVD CE6525MA116
Henri Matisse is regarded as one of the most influential
figures in 20th century art. Loved by artists, critics,
and the public alike, a museum dedicated to Matisse

• JACKSON POLLOCK DVD CE6527MA116
Jackson Pollock became one of the most notorious
artists that America ever produced. He developed a
technique in which he would fix his canvas to the
floor, drip and splash paint onto it, then use a variety
of objects to manipulate the paint. With these innovative paintings, he became the front-runner of the
Abstract Expressionist movement.
• JOAN MIRO DVD CE6523MA116
Miro drew on memory and fantasy to create works
of art that are visual metaphors of surrealist poetry.
The dreamlike visions have a whimsical or humorous
quality, but also appeal to an art of the spirit. Miró;
had a colossal output; during his 90 years he made at
least 2,000 oil paintings, 500 sculptures, 400 ceramic
objects, and 5,000 drawings and collages. Accompanied
by images of the artist’s greatest work.
• MAN RAY DVD CE6518MA116
Inventive, audacious, with an effervescent imagination, and a continual willingness to call traditional
notions of art into question, Man Ray was the quintessential avant-garde artist.
• MARC CHAGALL DVD CE6516MA116
Born in Russia in 1887, Marc Chagall came to Paris in
1910 and entered the arena of European painting. From
his Belorussian and eastern Jewish origins, Chagall
brought into play entirely new vistas of irrational
perception from dreams, visions and legends.
106
• MARCEL DUCHAMP DVD CE6528MA116
Duchamp’s work is characterized by humor, a wide
variety of media, and its incessant probing of the
boundaries of art. Duchamp’s legacy includes the
insight that art can be about ideas instead of objects,
a revolutionary notion that would resonate with later
generations of artists.
