Research #INFORMATIONLITERACY

We've had a research and group discussion, Information literacy was a research on the work of Mike Eisenberg. He established what was information literacy and how it makes use of the Big6 skills. Now we were ask to answer few questions as a group. We finished this activity in a short amount of time given that all the information can be found easily and our teacher also provided us with sources that would help our research.

DEBATE #INFORMATIONLITERACY

With another debate coming,  The topic of the debate isn't far from the previous one. It's a refurbished version of the typical past versus present debate antics. We've already debated about traditional media and new media. It's time to get a little more specific on which. My classmates and I did, but it's all for the best. To my surprise, I was placed for the library side. It brought back thoughts from a debate we had in our Empowerment Technologies class back in 11th Grade, specifically about whether technology should be dominating education or not. It just so happened that I'm facing some of the people I faced in that same activity The only thing that wasn't great was the lack of time. Just as the debate performance's evaluation is being announced, the period came to an end. Nobody got to hear which side won. Still, it would be great to hear that my side won.

PAST THE MESSAGE with a twist #ORALCOMM

 Everyone's lined up. The first member receives the message, who then passes it to the next one. The message is relayed up until to the last member, who then writes the message down. The first group who does it right gets ten points. These points get lower the later you finish. Sounds easy, but there's a twist. You can only use facial gestures to pass the message, or in this case, number. We made guidelines on how to pass the numbers around. Raising your eyebrows amounts you to 1000. Moving your nose (still without using your hands!) amounts you to 100. Pouting amounts you to 10. Winking gives you 1. You're free to use other facial gestures for other digits, as long as you don't speak, make sounds, or move your hands. Information gets passed in different forms, sometimes distant from the actual source. One could mention about someone wanting to purchase a car, then the information suddenly turns into someone trying to purchase a car to court a lady. Assumpt

Free Media VS Controlled Media

In this activity we did a debate between Free Media vs Controlled Media I was assigned in the group of  Free Media, we were given one hour to research and prepare for our defense and to justify our topic, after the preparation it its time for our debate. Throughout the debate there was a tension and a good justify answers were given to each sides as a result it was a tie, but Sr Haren told us to get one representative from each group for the finale debate which happens Controlled media to be the winner, within this debate I learned that there are similarities and differences between the two in terms of its context in a way free media.   Freedom of the press or freedom of the media the principle that communication and expression through various media, including printed and electronic media, especially published materials, should be considered a right to be exercised freely.And Controlled Media are the kind that can be created and controlled by the firm such as advertisement, speeches

Worlds Hardest Game

The activity that was given to us in an online game which is The World's Hardest Game, the game consist many categories such as logic, skill , number and trivia. Just as shown in the picture, overall with 30 level given. The aim of the game is to don't get hit by any Blue Balls! Keep the Red Square away from the Blue Balls on your way to the Green Zone or it's game over! I was able to finish until level 15, throughout the game once you failed twice as many there will be a time you'll feel irritated and annoying that makes you want to pass the level. I think that this game requires patient, focus and right timing of pattern as the one playing the game and maybe the reason why would they consider calling the online game ''The World's Hardest Game''.

Pass the MESSAGE

Seeing the title of the post, it is already certain that its a game where you use your communication skills, teamwork and strategy.And come to think of it, it is something related in our subject which is Media Information Literacy(MIL). Our subject teacher grouped us in to five group and the fastest team to give the answer gets a point of 10, 1 being the lowest and the last., there are facial expression which determines the number we need to make in order to get the exact number being passed like winking is equivalent to 1, moving your nose is equivalent to 10. We were given 10 minutes to discuss within our group to strategize and to formulate on how were gonna be able to guess the numbers quick and efficient. after the game we were able to finish 2nd place. I realized that communication is important in order to interpret and express the message being conveyed and come to think of it before cellphones was  invented, radios and Tv etc. Long before people communicated with each

#Oralcommunication

Attitude? what comes to your mind when  you hear the word attitude ?. According to Wikipedia attitude is a psychological construct, a mental and emotional entity that inheres in or characterizes as a person. And I think these has something corellated with the activity we've done last Wednesday in  Media and Information Literacy We were asked by our teacher to bring a Post-it/stick notes then we were instructed to write your different impressions about your classmates or a word that best describes them as a person. It was our chance to write a letter to our classmate what we want to tell them, what we may think about them , maybe a chance to tell your crush what you feel about him/her. Then we wrote a letter in each every one inside the classroom including our subject teacher . And we were able to accomplish it in 30-40  minutes. After the activity we were randomly picked by Sr. Haren our subject teacher to present every sticky note we have. It was fun hearing dif
