Activity/Exercises
Answer each question honestly.

1. How will you differentiate media, information, and technology literacies?

1.Media literacy - My understanding of the media is how it works, the way it’s presented and the understanding that it
is not all objective or accurate all the time. Much of it can be misinformed or biased.

Information literacy - I would couple this with reading literacy in the sense that it’s your understanding/comprehension
of the information presented to you, in any format, whether it’s reading, television, audio, etc.

Technology literacy - My understanding of technology is how well you use it and can apply it to your every day life or
job, etc. Like in my instance, I can usually figure out most electronics without a manual.

5.Information and media literacy enables people to show and make informed judgments as users of information and
media, as well as to become skillful creators and producers of information and media messages in their own right and
media literacy helps students become wiser consumers of media as well as responsible producers of their own media.

2. Share your media habits, lifestyles and preferences.

3-4. If you were Thomas Jefferson would you make the same statement in a national address? Why?
Yes, because to prevent these irregular interpositions of the people is to give them full information of their affairs thro’
the channel of the public papers, & to contrive that those papers should penetrate the whole mass of the people. The
basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it
left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I
should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers & be
capable of reading them.

5. How much power do you think does Media and Information Literacy can do to your life and to the society?
Information and media literacy enables people to show and make informed judgments as users of information and
media, as well as to become skillful creators and producers of information and media messages in their own right and
media literacy helps students become wiser consumers of media as well as responsible producers of their own media.
