Today is the first day of the MovePH Webinar: Digital Media Technology and Society, with the first Session dubbed "Digital media landscape: Power, potential, and Harm."

Today's discussion topic was the impact of digital media, including social media usage, screen time, and different online user types such as bots, trolls, and "marines." It is essential to share reliable information to contribute positively to society, and to achieve this; one must be vigilant in checking credible sources. One speaker suggested that we become "citizens" rather than mere "social media users " to avoid being swayed by any agenda. ᕙ(‾̀◡‾́)ᕗ

Which of the Digital Citizenship Elements is most important or relevant to you as Gen Z Teen?

- DIGITAL LITERACY -
For me, digital literacy is the most critical aspect of digital citizenship. Since as time goes by, the world is slowly advancing from traditional doings, including media use. As a Gen Z teen, I need to be digitally literate to live, learn, and work in a world where communication and information are increasingly accessible through digital technologies such as internet platforms, social media, and mobile devices. As a result, mastering digital literacy means I may use technology securely and avoid its pitfalls. ( ๑>ᴗ<๑ )

An advocacy campaign is a well-planned series of actions to raise awareness of issues and influence change. I want to push for youth leadership in this generation since youth are the nation's hope. Given that I have attended numerous leadership workshops, I can use them to influence my peers. Advocates for Youth cultivate a pipeline of leaders who bring talent and tenacity to progressive movements. ♡ ´･ᴗ･ `♡

They were always there for me on my good and, more importantly, my bad days. They always encourage me and pamper me anytime I accomplish something. Furthermore, I admire each of them since they teach me principles I can use. As a result, I can't image my life without them, and I can't wait to repay them in the future. ʕっ• ᴥ • ʔっ

My ability to manage my time about the scenario distinguishes me from my peers and is my superpower. Since I am now a student-athlete, my only opponent is time management. Hence, I have created rules that if there is no training, I must prioritize my academics because they are the more significant of the two. -`ღ´-

Honestly, I'm still undecided between being a doctor or an accountant. My ultimate professional ambition has been to be a doctor since elementary school. That's why, in high school, I joined the Red Cross Youth. Even though being a doctor has always been my desire, I also enjoy mathematics, which comes under accounting. Accountancy has always been my mother's passion, and she wants me to pursue it for her, which is acceptable given that I enjoy numbers. Furthermore, I can't give my career goal now and hope to find an answer during this senior high school journey. (◍•ᴗ•◍)♡

I'm a member of an organization called iKilos Bayugan, about doing good in the community and being a better person. This organization aims to help teenagers learn to read and write by holding an event. As a volunteer, I can assist them in improving and using what they've learned daily. Furthermore, this nonprofit informs individuals on what they can do to help avoid climate change and pollution. Furthermore, it assisted me in being a good leader and influencing people to do well for a better future. Hence, my values include honesty, compassion, trustworthiness, generosity, caring, respect, love, and many others. These are just a few values I always show my family, friends, and even strangers. ¬‿¬

Aside from my family, who are always there, my friends are also always there to push me to excel in everything I do. As I'm the very secretive type of person, they respect that personality of mine and are always ready to listen if I share something unusual. εїз

As a student, what do you think are the usual instances and reasons for your need of information? What tasks have you done in the past that required searching information for you to complete them?

As a student, pieces of information are essential because it helps us researchers conduct a proper analysis. In my tenth-grade year, we did research that required a significant amount of information to be successful. We made a 3-in-1 device which consists of a disinfection tunnel with automatic hand sanitizer and a touchless thermometer. We need a lot of information because this is our first time undertaking extensive study, particularly regarding how to program our devices to function. Furthermore, the information must come from reliable enough articles rather than just general knowledge that we can find elsewhere. As a result, performing research is challenging. Still, with the aid of relevant literature that has a wealth of knowledge on the particular issue, it will be simpler for every researcher. (,,>﹏<,,)

Have you ever experienced correcting someone or being corrected by someone on fake news? How's your relationship now? Share your experience.

During the elections, I had the opportunity to correct someone for spreading false information. During that time, one of my friends is highly active on social media, offering some valuable facts about her candidate. But she had no idea that all of her posts were false information. I ventured to chastise her for spreading false news on the internet because we were friends. It's also her right to check to see whether I'm trustworthy. She recognized I was correct after evaluating the information. As a result, we're still friends, and I like her openness to such news. (ෆ˙ᵕ˙ෆ)♡

How will you use this knowledge to influence the world for good?

Public communication promoting a product, service, brand, or event is known as advertising, sometimes an advert or ad. The concept is considerably more comprehensive to some, encompassing any sponsored communication intended to enlighten or influence. Additionally, advertising is a marketing activity that may assist merchants in reaching out to potential clients and persuading them to purchase items or services. Being advertising literate and possessing that information may positively impact the world. Furthermore, advertising literature understands and interprets what advertisements say, what they want us to do, and what they want to communicate. Individuals may use this knowledge to be more critical and determine if a specific commercial will assist others or simply spread misinformation. As a result, advertising literacy is essential to people's decision-making process. ฅ՞•ﻌ•՞ฅ

How will you apply what you've learned about intellectual property rights to ensure that you are respecting the rights of creators while effectively communicating your own ideas?

By definition, intellectual property rights are rights granted to individuals over their intellectual creations. They usually give the creator the exclusive right to use their design for a certain period. In addition, protecting intellectual property rights is crucial to promote innovation. Without intellectual property protection, companies and individuals would not be able to benefit from their inventions fully and would be less focused on research and development. In addition, I want to make sure that I respect the rights of content producers and, at the same time, communicate my ideas effectively. And when I do that, I first check if someone has already created what I want to do before registering it as mine with the government to protect our rights. This way, I can ensure I protect my intellectual property while protecting others. (❀❛ ֊ ❛„)♡

After completing the Go Viral and The Bad News Games, reflect on what you learned from them. Narrate your overall reflection on everything that you have realized from these games.

After finishing the Go Viral and The Bad News Games, one of the realizations was that I could make judgments about anything I did. Furthermore, our decisions have an impact on people. Almost every action we make will impact someone else in some way. Moreover, awareness and mindfulness sharpen one's intuitive side and aids good reason in triumph. It is critical to recognize our actions' "human cost" and be mindful of their impact. (๑ᵔ⤙ᵔ๑)

What have you learned from Media and Information Literacy? How has it changed your understanding of the role of media in society and how you consume and interpret information? What new skills or knowledge have you gained that you can apply in your personal and academic life?

Encountering this particular subject has positively impacted my perception of media. Through the Media and Information Literacy course, I gained knowledge with the guidance of our teacher, Miss Jonna. Specifically, the subject enabled me to become media-literate in the context of the internet. I also learned about my role in the media world and how to give constructive criticism to disseminate accurate information. Moreover, the course emphasized the importance of fact-checking news on social media and evaluating the credibility of sources before sharing severe information. Lastly, the subject equipped me with skills and knowledge to contribute to resolving social issues, despite being a student, by creating advocacy for relevant causes. (◍•ᴗ•◍)
