RECAP

Give an example of wearable technology. Identify its

importance.

-Abacus Ring: The abacus ring once worked as a counting

tool that allowed traders to perform quick calculations.

ACTIVITY

The advantages when senior citizens learn how to use the

technology are making social connections, safety,
entertainment, convenience, and devices that monitor
seniors’ health. Consuming diverse sources of information
with a solid track record for fact-checking their sources
and from various points of view is the best approach to
become media and information literate. Even so, it's
always a good idea to double-check the report's sources.
People are literate if they approach the source of
knowledge without any preexisting cognitive biases.
Learning is the goal of the media and information.
WRAP-UP

Relate the topic of media and information literate

individuals to the below post. Is Bill a media and
information-literate individual? Does he apply critical
thinking skills?

-Media analysis, which is a crucial part of media and

information literacy, can develop critical thinking skills
by strengthening observation and interpretation. For
example, Bill just moves on when he saw something that
offends him because he has critical thinking and we can
say that he is indeed a media and information literate
individual. Remember that if you see something that
offends you, that doesn’t mean you should call it out all
the time.

VALUING

‣ She should make use of her technological abilities to

find appropriate media and information sources.

‣ She needs to know the things that affect her directly.

If she wants to fight disinformation, give priority to
those topics. Otherwise, she’ll waste her time with
irrelevant, although interesting, information.

‣ Another fantastic technique to demonstrate her

comprehension of the media and information she is using is
to have a critical attitude and knowledge of how to build
media and information.

‣ In participating in the media requires critical

attitudes and knowledge of where and how to communicate
with journalists and editors of the media, as well as
other people, through old and new media.

‣ Her unclouded capacity to assess information and discern

the truth necessitates a fair dose of skepticism and, in
many cases, extensive investigation.
