KNOWLEDGE is POWER

          For me, if you have a wide range of thinking because of your stuck knowledge, then you have the power to solve any problems with it and you can defend yourself to any challenges in everyday life. Having the power of knowledge means being responsible with that knowledge (power) and knows how to use it properly to solve problems.

“There are times when you need to share information that you have acquired from various sources written by different authors. It is inevitable to directly quote their words in order to preserve their meaning. However, quoting someone else's words without giving credit to the author essentially gives an impression that you are claiming ownership of the words they have said. This is called plagiarism.”

For me, it is important to give credit to the source of one's work. (1) Giving credit gives the readers or the audience of your work an awareness that you base your work with truthful and rightful information, facts, etc. from which came to your source. (2)To avoid plagiarism. (3) Crediting the source can be your way of giving a thank you to the source and can be a sign of respect. (4) It is also very important crediting sources because you do not pay them through bills or cash, but by crediting them, you are aldready paying them, thus, encouraging your audience to check the work of your sources. (5) If you have a case where you made a mistake in your work, you can easily know which source made it wrong and prove that the blame should not be on you (unless it is clearly from an unreliable source).

INFORMATION LITERATE INDIVIDUAL

          An information literate individual is a person who has the skill and ability to recognize information, evaluate the information received, and use the knowledge being acquired from the information that came to any different reliable sources. The information literate individual utilizes information that he or she has in a good way and with corresponding responsibility and discipline. With this, the information literate individual can effectively communicate and spread the information that he or she has to the general public or to other intended audience. If everybody would be information literate, then there could be no wrong information flowing here in our society which leads to bad effects to us.



TIMELINE OF EXPOSURE TO TRADITIONAL AND NEW MEDIA and IOT

EXPOSURE TO TRADITIONAL AND NEW MEDIA
To view the interactive timeline I prepared complete with images, you can visit it here:

https://www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/entry/947945/EXPOSURE-TO-TRADITIONAL-AND-NEW-MEDIA/

OLD TELEVISION(2004)
It is a device that receives TV signals and projects in screen. It is where me and my sister watch our favorite cartoon series back in 2004, thus, it helps to create a bond between me and my older sister.

OLD RADIO(2004)
It uses radio waves to carry information allocated to different places. I dance when I was a child with the music I hear from the radio and I used to listen to the news though I cannot understand some in the news, my mother guides me to what I head on the radio and from that I learn important things.

OLD WOODEN STEREO(2006)
It is where sound is directed to two or more speakers which surrounds the listener. We try to play minus one discs and listen to its sound for the content of the discs are satisfying and brings us back to the 90s.

OLD SAMSUNG TV(2006)
It is a television with colors projected unlike before. My father bought a Samsung television because I still watched cartoon series or movies through it. Every night we watch in GMA channel to see the next episode of our favorite drama.

PORTABLE DVD PLAYER(2008)
It is a mobile, battery powered DVD player in the format of a mobile device. Many recent players play files from USB flash drives and SD cards. I love using DVD player when I was still 10 years old because I also watch comedy movies and Filipino movies. But nowadays, it is kind of obsolete because the pirated CDs are I think limited, unlike before, which means that only few use DVD since then.

TELEPHONE(2009)
This is a telecommunication device that permits two or more users to talk even if they are far away from each other. Back then, we have two PLDT telephone inside our house, the one is on the second floor and the other is in our living room. It is helpful because when I was in elementary, I always ask and consult my friends about our homework. This also links us to our relatives around Manila because we can have a conversation over the telephone.

JVC COMPACT COMPONENT SYSTEM(2010)
It is a compact component system radio and plays audio compact discs and cassette tapes. With it, I can play my favorite anime, One Piece, every morning. I also watch movies in CDs through it then I listen to 101.1 fm.

MP3 PLAYER(2010)
It is a small device that plays mp3 audio music. I cannot live my life happily if I did not get an mp3 when I was 10. Listening to songs any time and any where makes me so calm and happy.

LG DESKTOP COMPUTER(2011)
It is a device instructed to carry out arbitrary sequences of arithmetic automatically. This helped me in learning and doing my homework because there is an application installed named "Encarta Kids" which is a set of book games that interacts with the user. There is a "Game House" installed in our LG PC that is why we are once a computer gamer.

NEWSPAPER(2012)
It is a periodical publication containing written information about current events. When in elementary, there is a journalism club in our school. I recognized that they have a cartooning staff vacancy. So, I applied to be a cartoonist in their editorial page because I am interested in news and I have the skills in drawing. I am exposed to different newspapers like Manila Bulletin, Pilipino Star Ngayon, Tempo, Abante, and more. I became aware of what happened to my society.

NOKIA X2-01 CELLPHONE(2013)
It is a portable telephone that receives calls and texts. I use it to call and text my parents whenever I need to go home early or late from school. Without this, I would not be able to notify my mom or dad if I am in a safe condition.

TWITTER(2014)
It is an online news and social networking service where users post and interact with messages, called "tweets." I started to use twitter because it is my medium to express my emotions or opinions. This is one of the bridges to be close to other people in my batch because I can freely reply with their tweets or have a direct message. It is also contributes to my knowledge because frequently, twitter of government organizations and department notifies me because I follow them in Twitter.

POLAROID DIAMOND 3G+ ANDROID PHONE(2014)
This android phone is a handheld personal computer with a mobile operating system. This enabled me to use different applications connected to the Internet, lets me capture scenic views, take a video of memorable moments when I am in MaSci, and to call or text other people.

IPAD MINI(2015)
This is a mini tablet computer developed by Apple Inc. Until now (2017), I own an iPad mini which my uncle gave me. It helped me to quickly send messages, play music and videos, and more. My level of productivity increased when I got my iPad mini.

FLAT SCREEN SAMSUNG SMART TV(2016)
It is a slimmer version of a television than before with matching high quality look and has a cable. It can connect to the internet and can be used to help in daily activities (exercise, cooking, cleaning, etc.). It is where I watch TV series and movies these years.

DELL INSPIRON 1440 LAPTOP & SAMSUNG NOTEBOOK(2016)
Both are small portable personal computer with a "clam shell" form factor. I use the pink dell laptop anywhere since it is portable which makes it easy for me to do requirements like inside the café, in the school, or other workplaces. The red Samsung notebook is my storage of files that I used to print outside our house.

CANON PIXMA MP250 PRINTER(2017)
It is a peripheral device which makes a persistent human-readable representation of graphics or text on paper. This canon printer model that we bought just this year, enhanced my level of productivity because I can easily print any document without any problems in the ink cartridges. Also, it prints high quality even if you set the print quality to standard.

Thank you for viewing! Hope you learn something from it . 😊😊😊

 

INTERNET OF THINGS

(answer to the assignment)

 

         For me, Internet of Things (IoT) is simply the internet that the devices, appliances, gadgets, and other electronic things are connected to. The things that we use daily that is connected to the Internet via wireless networks may help people to have an ease on doing their works and may build a greater increase for the efficiency of doing daily activities.

This theory was brought by the time where technological appliances and devices create a strong connection for everything, even if it seems to be impossible that everything can be connected. Through the idea of Internet of Things, some people are persuaded and determined to make huge changes in the world.

 

         I like this concept of IoT because nowadays most Filipinos need to have things that is connected to the internet which means they are connected to the whole world. Filipinos can know about different information exchanged through internet and somehow they can share it responsibly. Maybe the Filipinos are not the only ones who will benefit from IoT but other countries too so they can easily have a better connection to one another. In my different perspective, I think IoT can help for security purposes enhancement. It can make houses safe from outside danger that can literally help lower the rate of crimes recorded every year. All in all, IoT would really help most of us to easily do works, build connection and security, improve our medical technology, construct knowledge for many people, and more. Only that we should be considerate about the little glitches or problems about the concept of IoT because it can be the hindrance to connection of everything.

 

          I encounter IoT in the Philippines when I am with my mom and sister. We went to SM Aura to have fun. So we tried riding Uber taxi and then while we are on the way to SM Aura, I noticed that they are using an installed application on their smart phones which leads and guides the driver of the Uber to the roads where there is just a moderate traffic, thus, making it on time to go to our own destination. That's why after we ride Uber taxi, we are being used to ride Uber or Grab taxi rather than ordinary taxi because it is more efficient and fast.

 

          Medical machineries or apparatus used in hospitals in the Philippines will be put to the next level if IoT is present. The lives of Filipinos will be easier with IoT because they can use it at home, for making better decisions, for safety, for comfort, for transportation, and more. The only flaws that can affect Filipinos if there is an IoT are the security and privacy of theirselves because hackers or people who are good at doing threats can be a huge problem to them.

 

          I think IoT has a huge relationship to media and information literacy because I know that the things being connected with the power of Internet can make each individuals connected and share information. Between them, the people are having/developing the ability to be responsible of the things, analyze, evaluate, use, access, and communicate information and knowledge through it.

Information Literacy (Lec)

November 22, 2017

-MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSON IN MY LIFE-

Why: She is the most influential that I know to me because she influenced me the way I talk, the way I interact with other people, how I do an act, and how I see things outside the box.
How: She always gives me advices and solution about my problems that creates my wholeness as a person.

Now, what is the importance of answering these questions? (5w+h) Let's find out!

Who? - to identify the person
What? - to know about something
When? - to know specific time and date
Where? - to locate a place
Why? - to state the reason
How? - the way or manner things were done

Stages/Elements of Information Literacy

 

“According to the weather forecast, there is no typhoon. However, your locality is experiencing heavy rainfall, while some parts in your province /region are already flooded. There are reported incidents of landslide, evacuation, stranded vehicles and drowning. As a student, what are you going to do?”

(we were asked to identify the stages/elements of information literacy and here is the table that shows my answer about the question above)

Media's roles and functions in a democratic society and how it affects me

 

1. Given the available media that we now have in the world, what are its roles and functions in a democratic society? Today, we are living in a society where freedom and equality between people dominate. There are a lot of available media that we have which are very helpful to all of us. The media stands as a “backbone” in the society because it is the foundation of information for wide usage. It helps in giving out information to the general public as well as to the government that’s why when there is a problem in the society, there is an active response or immediate action that our government do. Media has a huge role in education for it effectively share tons of things that helps in learning. It also functions as a guide to the truth for the people since we get to be aware of the social, political, economical issues.   2. In what way do media affect your life? (personal, professional, academic, social, others) Media affects me in a way that is good. It becomes my bridge to other people who are far from me. I tend to get close with my relatives and friends even if they are afar. In academic, it is one of my source of knowledge because I can easily acquire information or messages from others. With media, I can keep my personal information private and limited to the people I only trust. It really impacts me being a person because I learn how to be responsible of what I am doing like thinking before clicking. It also raises my awareness of what is around me and what are the things that I should keep an eye out for.

We need to respect the use of media in order to have organization in using it and to always ensure the safety of everybody, even ourselves. I also learned that if we did not use or do our responsibilities it may cause trouble, may limit our rights or freedom, and can violate a law.

MISCONCEPTION

November 7, 2017

 

MISCONCEPTION ABOUT MEDIA AND INFORMATION LITERACY

 

 

MISCONCEPTION: 

         I thought that media and information literacy is your ability to use media and information only because you have freedom but then you should also consider the fact that you are responsible for your freedom on how you are going to use it for developing clear thinking and life-long learning skills.

 

 

..................................................................................................................

 

 

IF I WERE A JOURNALIST

If I were a journalist, I would write an article about the...

 

1. My intended audience are those Filipinos who are not aware of what had happened in Marawi, Philippines.

2. I will be the producer of this article.

3. I would like to inform others about the condition of the city, soldiers, and families who suffered from hearing endless bombings and gun firings of the Maute group.

4. The topic will be about the regaining peace after the war in Marawi City in Lanao del Sur.

5. Some facts that I will include are: (1)The battle in Marawi, also known as Marawi siege or Marawi crisis, lasted for five months (2)Marawi evacuees start returning home. The Western Mindanao Command and Police Regional Office allowed the return of evacuees to areas where the bomb disposal team already inspected.

6. I can present this information by putting texts and images.

7. It would affect my audience by getting some emotions towards the images that I am going to give which can also affect their reactions.

8. I will use media platform because most Filipinos are using social media and even though they are using it still, some of them are not aware of what is happening around them.
