Day school Program

Secondary students across Toronto District School Board(TDSB) are invited to take one or two e-Learning courses on their day school timetable. Students will remain on the roll at their day school.

The on-line classroom provides an innovative relevant and interactive Learning environment. The courses and on-line classroom are provided by the Ministry of Education

These on-line courses

are taught by TDSB secondary school teachers

are part of the TDSB Student’s time table; and

appear on the Student’s report upon completion

Benefits of e-Learning

Include:

Access to courses that may not be available at his or her TDSB school

Using technology to provide students with current information: and.

assistance to solve timetable conflicts

Is e-Learning for You?

Students who are successful in on-line course are usually;

able to plan, organize time and complete assignments and activities;

capable of working independently in a responsible and honest manner; and ,

able to regularly use a computer or mobile device with internet access

Students need to spend at least as much time with their on-line course work as they would in a face-to-face classroom course.

【1】E-Learning courses are different from other TDSB courses in that .

A. they are given by best TDSB teachers.

B. they are not on the day school timetable.

C. they are not included on students’ reports.

D. they are an addition to TDSB courses.

【2】What do students need to do before completing e-learning courses?

A. To learn information technology on-line.

B. To do their assignments independently.

C. To update their mobile devices regularly.

D. To talk face to face with their teachers.

California Condor’s Shocking Recovery

California condors are North America’s largest birds, with wing-length of up to 3 meters. In the 1980s, electrical lines and lead poisoning(铅中毒) nearly drove them to dying out. Now, electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big birds.

In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild, and there are now more than 150 flying over California and nearby Arizona, Utah and Baja in Mexico.

Electrical lines have been killing them off. “As they go in to rest for the night, they just don’t see the power lines,” says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo. Their wings can bridge the gap between lines, resulting in electrocution(电死) if they touch two lines at once.

So scientists have come up with a shocking idea. Tall poles, placed in large training areas, teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock. Before the training was introduced, 66% of set-freed condors died of electrocution. This has now dropped to 18%.

Lead poisonous has proved more difficult to deal with. When condors eat dead bodies of other animals containing lead, they absorb large quantities of lead. This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney() failures and death. So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, where they are treated with calcium EDTA, a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days. This work is starting to pay off. The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011.

Rideout’s team thinks that the California condors’ average survival time in the wild is now just under eight years. “Although these measures are not effective forever, they are vital for now,” he says. “They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them.
