mas malalim ang hinihingi ng bawat pamprosesong tanong na maaaring sagutin sa
isang malinis na papel o bond paper.
Sa modyul na ito ay makapagbabahagi ang mga mag-aaral ng kanilang kaalaman
tungkol sa pag-iingat sa kanilang sarili at sa kapwa na naaayon sa sumusunod na
layunin:
Kilalanin ang ibat ibang paraan sa pag-iingat at kaligtasan sa social media;
Ipaliwanag ang kahalagaahan sa pagprotekta sa sarili at sa iba;
Pahalagahan ang mga epektibong pamamaraan sa pagpasya ng mga isyu tungkol
sa sarili at sa kapwa.
Ang mga gawain na ito ay nangangailangan ng iyong gabay bilang magulang
upang matiyak na nauunawaan at nakasusunod ang mag aaral sa anumang
gawain na nakasaad dito. Tiyakin palagi na ang bawat gawain ay matapos at
maisumite sa takdang oras.

study.

Keep in Mind

Lecturette

Often, we ask ourselves: “What are the skills that I am good at?” or “What do I want to
be in the future?” These simple questions that we are confronted with every day set the career
that we are going to take in the future.

 Choosing a career involves looking into the different skills you possess that can be
shown in the activities which you enjoy doing. Focusing on the skills needed to attain one’s
career goal and finding joy in it makes it easier for one to do them.

The combination of both skills and knowledge can help align career goals with work
that will truly be rewarding and engaging. With these in mind, directions would be clearer and
attainment of goals are within reach and easier to be realized.
