FIRST QUARTER
MEDIA AND INFORMATION LITERACY
MODULE NO. 1

I. INTRODUCTION

In this day and age, most of us have already been exposed to technologies we could not think of ten
or twenty years ago. Along with that development came a new way of how we retrieve and access
information. The new technologies developed did not only make it easier to retrieve information but also to
give out information which made it more convenient for us. Gone are the days where we will wait for the
newspapers and delayed television broadcasts for current events. Information can easily be accessed with
the tip of our fingers which resulted to us being lazy in seeking out more information by fact checking. By
the end of this course you are expected to be responsible users of media.
