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.

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.

 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
