III. A. DISCUSSION OF CONCEPTS

Media and Information Literacy (MIL) – stands for media and information literacy, and
refers to the essential competencies (knowledge, skills and attitude) that allow citizens to
engage with media and other information providers effectively and develop critical thinking
and life-long learning skills for socializing and becoming active citizens.
Media Literacy (ML) – understanding and using mass media in either an assertive or non-
assertive way, including an informed and critical understanding of media, the techniques
they employ and their effects. Also the ability to read, analyze, evaluate, and produce
communication in a variety of media forms (e.g. television, print, radio, computers,
Internet). It is also the ability to decode analyze, evaluate, and produce communication in
variety of forms.
Information Literacy – is a set of competencies for obtaining, understanding, evaluating,
adapting, generating, storing, and presenting information for problem analysis and
decision-making.
Technology Literacy – is the ability to use, manage, understand, and assess technology.
Technological literacy is related to digital literacy in that when an individual is proficient in
using computers and other digital devices to access the Internet, digital literacy gives them
the ability to use the Internet, to discover, review, evaluate, create, and use information via
various digital platforms, such as web browsers, databases, online journals, magazines,
newspapers, blogs and social media sites.

2
Technology (computer) Literacy - refers to the set of skills, attitudes and knowledge
necessary to understand and operate the basic functions of information and
communications technologies, including devices and tools.

Characteristics of a Media and Information Literate Person:

 Can understand media’s influences and representations
 Can make informed and independent decisions
 Can learn about the world around them
 Can build a sense of community
 Can maintain public discourse
 Can engage a lifelong learning
 Can produce information
 Can think critically
 Can use media for self-expression and creativity
 Can use media in a safe and responsible way
 Can participate in democracy and the global information network

Stages of the Critical Analysis Process

The critical analysis stages clearly involve the characteristics and skills of media
literacy and information literacy combined.
The five stages are the following:
1. Description – entails “paying close attention, taking notes, and researching the
subject under study”. This involves getting the right kind of information from an
accurate source.
2. Analysis – involves “discovering and focusing on significant patterns that emerge
from the description stage”.
3. Interpretation – pertains to “asking and answering the “What does that mean? And
“so what?” questions about one’s findings. This is where we could analyze the
purpose of the information we uncovered.
4. Evaluation – pertains to “arriving at a judgment about whether something is good,
bad, or mediocre.
5. Engagement – suggests “taking some action that connects our critical perspective
with our role as citizens to question our media institutions, adding our own voice to
the process of shaping the cultural environment”.

III. B. DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITIES

The poster on the right is the Logo of the

face book website.

Activity 1. On an activity sheet, make a

poster related to facebook/social media.
Share your suggestions and opinions
regarding the poster.

The amount of information just a click away may be limitless, but the time and energy we have to absorb
and evaluate it is not.  Humanity moves forward when we find ways to rely on and understand and trust
each other.  If social media is going to be our new home, let's make them a comfortable, beautiful place
to live, a place we all feel not just included but actually some ownership of. A place we get to know each
other. A place you'd actually want not just to visit but to bring your friends.  Most strangers don't actually
even talk to each other the first three or four or five times they see each other. But when people, even
very different people, see each other a lot, they develop familiarity, and that creates the bedrock for
relationships. And I think, actually, you know, maybe that early idea of cyberspace as kind of this bodiless
meeting place of pure minds and pure ideas sent us off in the wrong direction. Maybe what we need
instead is to find a way to be in proximity, mostly talking amongst ourselves, but all sharing the same
warm sun. 

Facebook is becoming a highly successful platform not only for making new
friends and finding old ones, but for accessing global and local news as well.
Most of the news and media companies have launched their Facebook pages.

Facebook has become a marketing platform for many popular brands. Today,
one can easily access all the famous global brands on Facebook.

Several small time businesses have become successful on Facebook. People,

who do not have the capital to open a store, have launched their products on
Facebook, gaining financial success and recognition.

One can buy practically anything on Facebook from shoes, bags, accessories,
clothes, phones, laptops, electronic etc. Many of these online stores offer the
facility to make online payments and deliver goods to the buyer’s home.

Facebook contains a large amount of user information that is susceptible to misuse.

It is dangerous to leave such a large volume of information that contains private
details of millions of individuals with an entity that faces minimal regulations like
facebook Facebook avails to its users, many activities that are fun to be involved in,
which include discussions, charting and creation of groups
With enormous scope and flexibility Facebook is a widely acceptable networking site for people to
keep in touch their friends and families, share experiences, strengthen social interactions and gather
information. It may exert some privacy, internet addiction and technology abusive issues. However,
the positive impact of Facebook outweighs the negatives as it helps to.

Social media is changing our society more than ever before through uniting people who live millions of miles
away. It is a school of online passages that promotes communication and online interaction with regard to
specific communities.

4
 Inclusively, multiple social media platforms exist in the modernized world today, for instance, facebook. I
deem what my illustration manifests, in general, is the fundamental source for the subtle sense of connection
and sharing; more appreciably, the aim to build up a communicative and informative society.
. Netizens tend to conquer the factual challenges on the way to their community, family and professional
triumph; and facebook has added benefit to people, making it educational and tangible. Besides being a
medium to interact and communicate, facebook is not only for making new friends, but for accessing global
and local news as well

Activity 2: Answer the following questions honestly on the activity sheet.

1. How do you use Facebook as a tool of communication?

Facebook has the most significant advent for me as a learner: I mainly use it for interacting with schoolmates
and teachers, especially for staying on track with announcements, and when a school project requires
collaborative work and, thus, proximity cannot hinder my academic progress.
2. How did Facebook affect or change the way we communicate with each other?

Our cultures, attitudes, interests, and perceptions are greatly affected by Facebook: we are clearly immersed
a great deal of information, and sometimes this place of pure minds and pure ideas send us off in the wrong directio
So, it is possible that someone could become talkative and active behind the screen, but in realistic landscape
but actually stands isolated because of the absorbed time.
3. How did Facebook affect the quantity and quality of information available to people?
Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

The amount of information just a click away may be limitless, but the essence of information are oft
insincere.
I strongly agree that information is susceptible to misuse; It is dangerous to leave such a large volume
information that contains fleeting details, and this is candidly not a good thing.

Activity 3. Read the following carefully. Write answer on your activity sheet.

To test your Media and Information Literacy Skills, choose a TV show or a film for
your research. Imagine that you will be paid to develop a sequel to this work. A sequel is
the piece of content following an original piece. For a film, you will write the second in the
series. For the TV show, you will write the second episode. Following the characteristics of
the media information literacy process, identify the information you need to discover for
this assignment, as well as the steps you need to finish this paid project. Acknowledge
sources of information.

II. SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT

Activity 1. Answer the following questions on the space provided.

1.Describe the media habits, lifestyle, and preference of each member of your

There are three people in my family; they are my mother, father, and me. And
presumably my parents both have the common media habits, lifestyle, and preference:
they prefer reading news articles through facebook instead of browsing a newspaper,
which they conventionally did in postmodern space; they also watch local tv shows and
movies to spend their spare time from work; and they have interest in the misconceptions the
public has about issues that can lead to a better understanding about realities

2. Write an essay on how communication is affected by media and

information. Cite your personal experience
Everyone must be very careful to explain information in a clear, exact,
and understandable manner. As media and information influence the accuracy
of message, sometimes confusion runs amok; and the whiplash creates a noise
in communication. I have a remarkable recollection of a good case in point:
As a homeroom officer throughout our junior years, I encountered a lot
of notes that could be reputable news, but actually had biases and
committed errors against the backdrop of meetings.

3. Describe the similarities and/or differences of Media Literacy, Information

Literacy, and Technology Literacy.

sending and receiving a message, and listening to news programs. Through these media
platforms we expand our horizons in education, entertainment, advancement, and
correlation parts in society.
