Explain why you selected the lessons under each topic. Discuss how you were able to identify a relevant
activity. Justify the importance of the activities that you and your partner designed. What helped you to
successfully complete the project?

(10-sentence is the minimum but you can still extend it).

Together with my partner, we can collaborate and start our plans and activities that make our
topic a more realistic and smarter approach to build relationships with the activities based on the lessons.
For our reasons of why our Confucianism, Kapwa Theory, The Self according to Mead and The Self as a
Modern World are simplicity, adaptability, and relevancy to the modern mode by technology which is a
part of everyday life. Our goal to achieve the creative application of the activity is to use a modern
approach to the use of technology with the traditional culture that retains the value of culture and
traditions as well as the process and our methodologies. For us, as partners, we tried our best to
communicate with each other by providing our best recommendations that are easy to understand and
formulate the techniques to make our project successful. To identify the relevant activity, we use the
connection with social media and the internet as our main source of digital information as well as the
traditional use of medium to convey our message on the relevance of our topic. In addition to our digital
and old forms of communication, we interact with the different situations in different styles and actions that
lead to our challenges such as the Golden Rule on being the responsible internet citizens as well as
observations in real-time use on social media consumption on how our experiences in these technologies
contribute to a friendlier communities and as intelligent users. As a partner-student, social media, internet,
and traditional media has its power for our couple to develop our knowledge and provides our ethical
communications based on the Golden Rule of Confucianism and the importance of togetherness as a
student based on the Kapwa Theory’s “Pakikisama” culture. My strategies that I can help successfully
complete the project is to share my experiences and his experience in a real story of our life on success,
achievements, and journeys with different moments in our campus and social media utilizations and daily
life as a college student. We also share our advice, tips, and suggestions that are related to the lesson on
how we can improve our goals, as well as to support our potential and make the realization of
experiences. My additional methods on my tips to make our project successful is to share my insights and
motivations, as well as my previous experiences in the college life that I will use in the planning and
implementation. As a partner, we made our efforts in planning, implementing, and evaluating more
flexible, more enjoyable, and more exciting ways to learn and discover our dimensions so that we can
make this valuable process a better experience.

both activities. You can use the ABC model to write your reflection. Reflect on how the activity is relevant
to our lesson and to your personal development.
(10-sentence is the minimum but you can still extend it).

I realized that I need to become a better role model for myself and the community while I can
develop my potential as a part of my missions to achieve my desires and goals. Sometimes, I changed
the way I interact with my friends and family because of using social media which contributes to my
everyday communications. I also realized how social interactions in the self according to Mead from the
methods of my learning adapt to my studies which helps me to guide for a better college experience and
to develop my knowledge and increase my learning development. I experienced many challenges in my
online learning, social media consumption, interacting with my fellow classmates, and the importance of
ethical professionalism, which represents my opportunities to explore each of the skills and abilities as a
part of my professional growth. I love to connect with my fellow students in different modes of
communication and I feel happy that I can talk and share insights with them whether online or
face-to-face. I made my trust in my students about friendships, in which my importance on ethical
professionalism is relevant to the golden rule in Confucianism by trying my effort to acknowledge their
plans, to accept their challenges, and to learn from their mistakes. As a student, I usually scroll through
social media and I experienced that everytime I spread reliable information reflects my understanding on
making the interactions more friendly and more togetherness with the internet citizens. I shared my skills,
abilities, and talents with my classmates with my inspiration whether face-to-face and internet and to
enjoy my moments and experiences to be uploaded to social media. My reflection on our evaluation
meeting with my partner represents sharing my experiences on how the two topics interconnected with
modern society using digital interactions and college life moments. My insights with our partner from the
evaluation meeting is to share my experiences and his experiences on the connection between the two
topics in the technology usage and educational experiences, for example is the daily consumption of
social media and attending online classes as well as the responsibilities of a healthy online community
and providing a study buddy to regenerate the exchange of information. My emotions while sharing
insights with our partner is a heartbreaking journey which symbolizes the relevance of the lesson by
applications of the two lessons to the different approach to multitasking that retains the culture and
traditions.
