Web services allow for the exchange of data between applications via open protocols and standards on the internet or private networks. Key components of web services include SOAP, UDDI, and WSDL. E-mail and online chat are examples of web services that enable communication. E-mail provides a free and easy way to send messages globally but can also lead to misunderstandings and suck up time. Online chat refers to real-time text messaging between participants and aims for quick responses. In conclusion, web services have the potential to facilitate business transactions but performance may be affected by bandwidth limitations.
CMC refers to computer-mediated communication, which is any communication that occurs between humans through electronic devices. CMC tools are increasingly being used in education and allow for both synchronous and asynchronous communication. Synchronous communication occurs in real time through tools like video conferencing and instant messaging. Asynchronous communication does not require participants to communicate simultaneously and can occur through email or online forums. CMC opens new opportunities for interactive distance learning and makes remote learning more similar to in-person classroom experiences.
This document discusses computer mediated communication (CMC) in education. CMC refers to any human communication that occurs through two or more electronic devices. It can take place synchronously or asynchronously through various mediums like text, audio, or video. Synchronous communication allows for real-time interaction through tools like instant messaging, video conferencing, and Skype. Asynchronous communication does not require real-time interaction and includes email, discussion forums, and social media. The document examines the elements of interpersonal communication in CMC and how it plays an important role in distance learning by allowing geographically separated students to communicate and learn like they would in a classroom.
Self pollination involves the transfer of pollen grains from the anther of a flower to the stigma of the same flower or another flower on the same plant. Cross pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther of one flower to the stigma of a different flower of the same kind on another plant. Both self and cross pollination are important for plant reproduction and the production of seeds or fruit.
This PowerPoint presentation discusses Newton's First Law of Motion. It defines force as what causes objects to move, and identifies two types of forces - pushes and pulls. Forces can be balanced or unbalanced, with balanced forces resulting in no motion and unbalanced forces resulting in motion. Newton's First Law, also known as the Law of Inertia, states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. The presentation provides examples of inertia and discusses how mass relates to inertia.
This document discusses spherical mirrors and their properties. There are two main types of spherical mirrors: convex mirrors, whose reflective surface curves outward, and concave mirrors, whose reflective surface curves inward. Concave mirrors form real images where the object and image are on the same side of the mirror, while convex mirrors form virtual images where the object and image are on opposite sides of the mirror.
Event management involves planning, budgeting, coordinating, and running events such as festivals, ceremonies, competitions, parties, concerts, or conventions. It requires skills in project management, budgeting, scheduling, problem-solving, communication, and customer service. Event management is an important part of marketing for companies and organizations seeking to promote themselves, build relationships, raise money, or celebrate. It is a growing industry that provides opportunities for those passionate about planning and organizing events.
This document provides an overview of different types of syllabi for English language education, including product-oriented, process-oriented, procedural, task-based, and negotiated syllabi. It discusses the characteristics of a good syllabus and explains key aspects of different syllabus types, such as how grammatical/structural and functional/notional syllabi are product-oriented and focus on language forms and functions. Process-oriented syllabi shift the focus from content to the learning process. Procedural syllabi emphasize logically arranged classroom activities. Task-based syllabi clearly state language tasks, while negotiated syllabi are developed through teacher-student negotiations.
A symposium is a discussion where multiple speakers present on different aspects of a central theme. Each speaker is assigned a specific aspect to focus on. The chairman coordinates the presentations to ensure all aspects are covered without repetition. A symposium differs from a panel discussion in that the audience does not typically engage in discussion. By assigning aspects to students and having them prepare presentations, a classroom can be converted into a symposium. The components of a symposium are the theme, chairman, speakers, and audience. A symposium allows for varied viewpoints to be explored thoroughly and stimulates thinking among participants. However, it risks passivity from the audience and potential repetition if speakers are not well coordinated.
This lesson plan is for an English class on a story by Rabindranath Tagore. The 40-minute lesson involves the teacher creating engagement with students by discussing homophones. They then give a brief introduction to the story and do a model reading. Students are asked to read sections of the story themselves while the teacher does a second model reading. Comprehension questions are asked to check understanding, and unfamiliar words are presented with flashcards. Students are divided into groups to discuss scaffolding questions about characters and events in the story. The lesson concludes by asking students to prepare a summary of the passage.
This document provides an overview of the author Sandra Cisneros and her work highlighting issues faced by Chicano women.

The document also includes vocabulary words and rhyming words from the poem.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The document discusses different types of man-made resources including museums and zoos. It defines a museum as a place where artifacts are conserved and displayed for public education. Museums can focus on fine arts, history, science, or other topics. A science museum focuses on scientific achievements through demonstrations and interactive exhibits. The document also defines a zoo as a facility where animals from around the world are kept in enclosures and bred for public display. However, it notes that zoos cannot replicate an animal's natural habitat and that captivity can negatively impact their mental and emotional health.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
