Lesson 2:
Activity 1

Many people may participate in media and information networks in

positive ways, such as sharing and gathering knowledge to answer
questions in their heads, and compiling all of the information to
communicate it with others. People will need a basic understanding of the
media's and other knowledge sources' positions, as well as how to
evaluate them, in order to engage with media and content networks in
ways that impact lifelong learning. To be able to exploit media and
intelligence sources, we must first and foremost consider our intent.
Knowing our purpose allows us to guide ourselves to the appropriate
media and intelligence channels and use them effectively.

Facebook is the social media on which I am most attached because it helps

me to connect with my loved ones, friends, and even former classmates
from elementary school. It can also be seen as a form of amusement
because it includes so many videos and memes that make me laugh until I
sob. I'm also hooked to this website because it allows you to connect with
other people by exchanging opinions and suggestions, or by letting what's
on your mind, will be noticed.

Activity 3:
1. No, because it depends on the sources and whether the article has
evidence to support its claims. For example, an article about new vitamins
in cigarettes that would add years to your life will be inaccurate because it
did not have any credible evidence to support its arguments, It is also clear
that this news is false because cigarettes are harmful for our bodies, and
the chemicals inserted in them are the ones that lead people to become
addicted to it. And no one knows our life span; we cannot measure it
because it is unpredictable. Because in the rapid advancement of
technology and invention, disseminating false knowledge has never been
easier.
2. Depends on the source of the facts, because anyone can say anything
about a certain topic,and they add any false information is easy on
internet websites that will make people believe that it is real. Also news
that has no evidences that will make it prove legitimate is nothing more
but people's beliefs, which they must rely on to back up their arguments.
3. In terms of news, a reliable source or journalist is needed so the
statements must be supported by proof. And the ability to disseminate
content is often what determines who gets to publish news on the internet.

What I have learned:

1. Media Literacy - is our knowledge of our structured world or the
messages that media conveying.
2. Information literacy - The awareness of being mindful where or when
will information is necessary to become lifelong learners and assists them
in sorting through the data and intelligently interpreting it.
3. Technology literacy - The responsibility to use technology in effective
manner.
4. Media and Information literacy - To interpret media and information
critically in order to assist individuals in acquiring awareness about the
use of that will allow them to be more effective and innovative in their
own perspectives.

Assessment:

The global environment is shifting at a fast pace rate. With the advent
in technologies in communication in recent decades, people have been able
to alter the mechanisms by which knowledge flows and, as a product with
the inventions of various innovations that we use in our everyday lives, the
flow of progress in our society continues to accelerate. the way we connect,
engage, function, and learn.
According to Wikipedia , Media Literacy defined as  encompasses
the practices that allow people to access, critically evaluate, and create or
manipulate media. In addition, Being "literate" in the use of media refers to
how much a person learns about the media they most often use, it is about
being smart and comprehend the messages of the media.
Students learn to recognize deceptive, out-of-date, or false facts
through information literacy. It also assists them in sorting through the data
and intelligently interpreting it. Although libraries with stacks of books
remain a vital resource for children, information literacy now reaches to the
Internet and beyond. Technology literacy used as to safely, responsibly,
creatively, and effectively use appropriate technology to: communicate;
access, collect, manage, integrate, and evaluate information. Media and
information literacy is the combination of two, media and information, It
is useful to analyze the facts expressed in order to comprehend the
media's messages by material or information and it is at the center of the
right to free expression and access to information. When people are
properly able to understand the roles of media and other communication
services, interpret their content objectively, and make educated choices as
consumers of information and media content.
These literacy skills can be used in a variety of ways, but they all have
the same purpose in sight. It is to assist each person in learning successful
communication skills in order to extend their expertise in certain fields. And
aim of being informed and media literate is to be able to develop, discover,
use, learn, interact, and think critically in a modern society.
Additional Activities:

Somehow, media literacy and knowledge literacy assist us in

communicating with God, our loved ones, and our country. Sadly, it works
both directions. Although advancements in communication and improved
literacy undoubtedly help spread the Gospel message, we may encounter a
closer relationship with God, our families, and our country as a result of that
message; at the same time, the potential for false knowledge and teaching is
often more prevalent. Since it has many effects on us, being hooked to it, the
more invent media and content has a strong likelihood of driving us farther
away from everyone. Focusing solely on the mass media without
considering the others. In my past experiences, I have been apart from my
family, even to God because of social media. I realized things when I am in
too much pain when I cant handle it anymore. Sharing the gospel of God
will make it easier but in one of His words “And without faith, it is
impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe
that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. - Hebrews
11:6”. It is not all about the language we learn elsewhere; it's about
developing relationships between ourselves and others.
