responding to climate change

          Climate change A study dealing with variations in climate on many different time scales from decades to millions of years, and the possible causes of such variations. In the most general sense, the term "climate change" encompasses all forms of climatic inconstancy that is, any differences between long-term statistics of the meteorological elements calculated for different periods but relating to the same area regardless of their statistical nature or physical causes.
          Climate change may result from such factors as changes in solar activity, long-period changes in the Earth's orbital elements, natural internal processes of the climate system, or anthropogenic forcing ,for example, increasing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
           The term "climate change" is often used in a more restricted sense, to denote a significant change such as a change having important economic, environmental and social effects in the mean values of a meteorological element in particular temperature or amount of precipitation in the course of a certain period of time, where the means are taken over periods of the order of a decade or longer.

MY MoDERN NAME HERo :D

      

My Modern Name Hero

                  For me, my modern day hero is my Mother. She was the very important person to me that inspired me most. Why? It's because she is the one who comport me in all of my problems. She is also my good friend, a sister and of-course a great mother . Even though, sometimes I hate her but in  the bottom of my heart I really love her. She gave me what i want. She is the one who gave me strength when I'm down, and supports me well. She gives me instruction when I have a fault.
                   I choose my mother that she is my hero,because when I'm still baby, growing younger and until now she still there for me, she also kept on caring me and loving me. She also kept on saying me that no matter what happen, she still there for me and she will love me until her last breath ends.
                   That was the reason why I choose my mother as a hero in my life. She love's me and I love her so much.

You're sleepless nights well to prepare the lessons and strategies to teach us you're students. 
      And you're truly deserve to be called "My Hero". I Love You all Ma'am and Sir.

Digital Literacy Through English Proficiency

          Literacy has traditionally been described as the ability to read for knowledge, write coherently and think critically about printed material while Proficiency is the mastery of a specific behavior or skill demonstrated by consistently superior performance, measured against established or popular standards.
        
Digital literacy is the ability to locate, organize, understand, evaluate, and analyze information using digital technology. It involves a working knowledge of current high-technology, and an understanding of how it can be used. Digitally literate people can communicate and work more efficiently, especially with those who possess the same knowledge and skills.
Research around digital literacy is concerned with wider aspects associated with learning how to effectively find, use, summarize, evaluate, create, and communicate information while using digital technologies, not just being literate at using a computer.
Teachers often teach digital literacy skills to students who use computers for research. Such skills include verifying credible sources Online and how to cite Web sites. Google and Wikipedia are used by students "for everyday life research."[5]
Educators are often required to be certified in digital literacy to teach certain software and, more prevalently, to prevent plagiarism amongst students.
Libraries are using games increasingly such as the Digital Literacy Contest to raise awareness about digital literacy.
         And that is what i described the meaning of "Digital Literacy Through English Proficiency"
