JOURNAL #7. 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?

According to my understanding, media and information literacy allow us to see how media works. According to my understanding, the aims of these are to inform, entertain, persuade, and enlighten, whereas literacy is the ability to read and write. I am better equipped to expound on my research for academic reports now that I have obtained new abilities that I may employ in my personal and academic life. In addition, in my daily life, I will be more conscious of global or local news. Based on this lesson, I now have a better knowledge of the function of the media in society because it provides us with important information about our town, country, and the world. I can consume knowledge by conducting more in-depth study to determine whether or not the information is accurate. To interpret, we must first comprehend the story or information we have read or seen. Finally, media and information literacy are critical. I can't image what the world would be like without it.

JOURNAL #6. After completing the Go Viral and The Bad News Games, reflect on what you learned from it. Narrate your overall reflection on everything that you have realized from these games.

The Go Viral and the Bad News Games gave me a glimpse of what it means to be an influencer. It showed me the steps it took in order for these influencers to reach their goals and showed me the challenges they had to endure. Aside from this, I realized that not all influencers are using social media for the right reasons. Others influencers post only for the fame and popularity, sometimes even spreading news that is fake and unreliable or bringing other people down. This is how the spread of fake news begins. After a few moments of reflection, I began to assess the influencers I look up to. I asked myself, "Are they really using social media for the right reasons?". Social media is a dangerous field to be in and if we do not be careful, we may fall in the trap of these fake news that influencers spread.

JOURNAL #5. How will you apply what you've learned about intellectual property rights to ensure that you are respecting the rights of creators while still effectively communicating your own ideas?

Intellectual Property rights ensure that our creations and the creations of others are protected from any type of copyright or plagiarism. With this in mind, I feel secure and protected knowing that these rights are there to back me up. Because of these rights, we are invited to respect not only our own rights but the rights of others as well. For example, when posting videos that are in need of background music, I will make sure to properly credit the owner of the music in the video. Crediting these creations shows both our appreciation and respect for the work of the creator. Practicing these simple actions are the basic steps in applying our intellectual property rights.

JOURNAL #4. How will you use this knowledge (Advertising Literacy) to influence the world for good?

In our digital world today, we rely on social media to influence us. One way that social media can do this is through advertisements. These short, yet motivating videos are one way that companies hook you into getting their product. It can also be used as a way to spread a message. Nevertheless, advertising brings a big impact on our society. With this knowledge in mind, I can use advertising to my advantage by raising awareness of the different problems we face in our world today. An example of this is raising awareness of our Sustainable Development Goals, just like we are doing in this subject. A simple act of engagement already means a lot which is why, it is important that we use advertising to our advantage, and for the benefit of others.

JOURNAL #3. Have you experienced correcting someone or being corrected by someone on fake news? How’s your relationship now? Share your experience.

As fake news becomes more and more prevalent in this day and age, it is important that we are aware of what is credible and what is not. Ensuring that we spread reliable information makes us good digital citizens and also will prevent the spread of fake news. Because fame and attention seem to be the goal when it comes to social media, the spreading and making of fake news can be one easy way to achieve this. As a user of social media myself, it did not take long until I stumbled upon fake news myself. What's worse is that this news even came from one of my family members. Once they shared the article with me, it was almost too good to be true and as I investigated more, I later found out the truth. The article sent to me was fake news. An article that has been noticed by thousands. It was by then that I realized the importance of putting a stop to this spread in order to stop it from deceiving others and including myself. I have informed my relative about the fake news and they are now aware of the dangers of trusting unreliable sources.

JOURNAL #2. 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?

When in need of any information, our generation runs to the internet. We are heavily reliant on the internet as it has become a part of our daily lives. From the moment we wake up, to before we go to bed, our minds are glued to the internet and the vast amounts of information it has to offer. Even in a school setting, the internet is surely present. It is used for research purposes, for gaining knowledge, and for learning new things. One specific task in school that involved the use of the internet to gather information is in our Scientific Investigatory Project. In writing research, it is required to have clear, concise, and reliable data, thus surfing the internet is one way we could gather all that information. It is evident how much the internet has impacted our lives and it is important that we are to know when is the right time to use it.

JOURNAL #1. In Topic 2, you learned about Generational Cohorts. You are part of Gen Z and the digital world is your world!

On your Padlet, write a journal entry on this question: WHICH OF THE DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP ELEMENTS IS MOST IMPORTANT OR RELEVANT TO YOU AS A GEN Z TEEN?

As a teenager, I am exposed to the internet at a very young age. My life practically revolves around it as I am using it, even for my school works. It is hard to deny that although the internet may not be the safest place, it has also benefitted most of us. However, in order for us to reap the benefits of the internet, it is important for us to keep protected from the threats of potential hackers, scammers, and the like. This led me to believe that Digital Security is one of the most important elements of Digital Citizenship. It is through this security that we may protect our lives on the internet and feel safe and secure despite the threats it has to offer. Ultimately, all the elements of Digital Citizenship helps ensure that we are able to maximize the benefits that the internet has to offer, while at the same time, minimizing the harmful effects that may occur.

I am a firm believer in women's rights. This quote from G.D. Anderson truly inspires me. "Feminism isn't about making women stronger. Women are already strong, it's about changing the way the world perceives that strength."
