Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

In case of mobile phone based services central and state
Government and private players are increasingly tapping into this
widely available medium.
The Department of Agriculture& Cooperation (DAC), Ministry of
Agriculture, Govt. of India launched Kisan Call Centers on January
21, 2004 across the country to deliver extension services to the
farming community.
The purpose of these call centers is to respond to issues raised by
farmers, instantly, in the local language. There are call centers for
every state which are expected to handle traffic from any part of
the country. Queries related to agriculture and allied sectors are
being addressed through these call centers.

number of mobile values added services such as free daily voice
messages on marketing prices for their produce, farming
technology, weather forecasts (Agro met advisory services), dairy

25. Conclusion
In
rural
areas
telecommunication
provides
awareness, information related to agriculture, animal
husbandry, horticulture as well as education. Rural
development is only possible if the updated information is
given to the rural people. The Indian telecom
network, 556.92 million telephone connections are in urban
areas and 338.59 million are in rural areas. Urban teledensity is 149.55%, whereas rural tele-density is 39.90% at
the end of December 2012.
The change is more visible in countries like India for the
geographical penetration and adoptability of the mobile
phones is very high compared to other Information and
Communication technology and services. The wide
penetration of mobile phones in India is fundamentally
because the major constraints for the low rural tele-density
have been lack of investible resources, non availability of
appropriate technology combined with difficult geographical
terrain and continental size of the country.
