Lesson 3: Becoming a Media and Information Literate

    Hi! Welcome back to my Blog!

    In this week's blog/journal, I will be answering our educator's given activity first and write about my insights about the lesson after, so I hope you'll read it all.

Performance Task #3: Fact or Bluff Answers:

News Article 1: 



Fact or Bluff? Bluff

    Based on my findings and with the help of the Critical Evaluation Tool, this is obviously an article that contains full of false information, it doesn't have any evidence to prove what they are claiming, the website itself is looking shady and not recommendable to other people that needs a valid information. The article also doesn't have the name and the email address of the author which is not really reliable when you need to confirm something while conducting some researches. 


News Article 2: 



Fact or Bluff? Fact

    Based on what I discovered using the Critical Evaluation Tool, the article on this particular website is full of correct information, they have definite proofs like a picture and a video to validate their article, they also have other links to support their claims, and it is form a website that is truly reliable with their firsthand experiences, the page is also created by someone who is an expert to the contents of their websites, it also contains the email of the creators which is helpful for someone doing a research.

Now for my insights:

    I think, the most important thing that I've learned in this lesson, is to not easily believe everything that I see on the internet, because most of the times, it might contain false information that will lead me to a dead end. False information or fake news are all around us, in websites, in news, or in social medias, it is inevitable, that is why we need to validate it so that we won't be mistaken for what we will believe based on the information we saw. Being a bias may also trigger us in giving false information because we are not looking at both sides of the issue.



    We can apply this in real life, like when I am chatting with my friends and they texted me an intriguing information, like "my best friend back stabbed me and etc.", this may lead to a big misunderstanding. Most importantly if I trust her and then find out that, all along, she was backstabbing me. But before I believe this and get hurt, I must first find out if this was true or not, I will call my best friend first and confirm what my other friend said, and if it's true or not, then I'll just keep it a secret. 

But, really, validate an information first before believing it!

Thank you for reading my blog, see you next week! Stay safe, stay well! Ciao!

 Hi! Welcome back to my blog!     Despite the Online Classes during the Pandemic, our school still gave us a one week Academic Break, so with our educator's consideration, he won't give us a Performance Task but we still need an output so all we need to do is to answer three simple questions, you should also take some break if you're tired and please bare with me. :) image source: https://sopipipi.blogspot.com/2019/03/how-to-be-responsible-netizen.html 1. In your own simple ways, how can you promote being a responsible netizen among your social media friends?     - Being a responsible netizen is respecting others opinions, capabilities and most importantly, applying the netiquettes. Before judging someone hastily and throw hurtful words to them, you should first try to put yourself onto others' shoes so you can at least be considerate about what they are going through. You should not start a fight with someone just because you have nothing else better to do...

Lesson 5: Types of Media

Image
 Hi! Welcome back to my Blog!      Our fifth lesson this week is about the Types of Media. There are five different forms of Media that was taught to us by our Educator, the Cinema, Television, Radio, Internet and lastly, is the Newspaper. And for this week's blog, before I tell my insights, I will first compare and contrast the different types of media such as Broadcast/Television, Paper/Newspaper, and Online/Internet.     The NEWS in different types of Media are the same but the way they deliver it are different. Just like in Broadcast, most of the time there are always a reporter that is speaking in front of the camera, because through the Television there is a screen to visually see how the reporter gives information to the people that was watching.     There are also news that are delivered through Papers which is the Newspaper, and these are more popular to older people and to those just want to read silently and have some entertainments or ...
