Topic: Social Literacy
Reflection: Read the questions and instruction carefully. Write your answers in any clean
paper.
1. Are you more of a listener or a talker? Which social skill/s do you think you need to
develop? In what ways can you develop it/them?
I am more a listener than a talker because I find it amazing listening to someone.
But sometimes it is base on the situation, once I ask to response, I will but if not,
I’ll just keep my mouth shot. Listening helps me to gain more knowledge.
Listening is part of our everyday living so as talking but we can control talking but
not listening.
I think the social skills I need to develop is the initiating conversation because I’m
not used to it. I never initiate conversation with someone, I always let them be
the first to talk to me before I talk to them. But though I did not initiate a
conversation, I always give smile to people I met.
I will develop it in ways that I will sometimes try to start a conversation with
other people with respect and not interfering to their personal life. I will try to
initiate a conversation sensitively.
2. If you were a parent at this time, what would you teach your children on social literacy?
How would you teach them?
If I were a parent this time, I will surely teach to my children the social skills
because I know having a good relationship with each other makes the world a
better place to live in. Socialization is the primary need of every person to know
what are happenings in his/her surroundings. No man is an island so we should
always socialize with each other sensitively and constructively. We should not let
our children stay in one corner; they should explore with peers.
I will teach them through letting them socialize with others and to remind them
their limitations. I will send them to school, let them play outside with neighbors.
3. If you were an employer, what would you look for in aspirants or applicants to your
company?
If I were an employer, I would look for an aspirants or applicants to my company
that is socially aware and can interact with people respectively and who has the
passion on giving fair, just and equal treatment to his/her fellow employees.
4. How do teachers educate children of social literacy nowadays? What specific content
and learning experiences are there in the curriculum that develop social literacy?
Teachers discuss it and also perform tasks or demos. But as always social
literacy, like values are most of the time caught, not taught.
The contents can be found in our Good Manners and Right Conduct (GMRC)
specifically. The topics vary from one level to another to customize to the
contexts and needs of the children to ensure that they are developmentally
appropriate and also answers the social norms and structure.
5. How do computer technology and social media affect your social skills and that of your
peers? Cite positive and negative impact of digital technology to communicate.
As time spent on devices increases, time spent in-person with peers and adults
decreases. This can lead to a sense of isolation and loneliness, with studies
showing that teens who report the least in-person interaction and the most
screen time have the highest rates of loneliness and depression.
The positive imp0act of digital technology to communicate are its Speed and
Efficiency. Being able to reach customers, co-workers and vendors quickly helps
improve the efficiency of any business operation. Mobile technology makes it
easy to get or to keep contact information in a mobile device. You can reach out
with questions or updates from anywhere. For example, a manager in the field
trying to determine why an order hasn't arrived can quickly contact his office,
supplier and delivery courier within a few minutes from the offsite location.
While the negative impact of digital technology to communicate is the lack of
relationship building, technology has reduced the amount of face-to-face
interaction or the number of actual telephone conversations that people have. It
is much easier to send a quick text rather than to engage in a phone call.
Although this efficiency is certainly a benefit, there is value to the chit-chat that's
now becoming lost. Relationships are built when a business knows its customer
and discovers opportunities to serve them more effectively through personal
interactions.
6. Make a list of Dos and Don’ts in the school and the workplace in relation to social
literacy. Present it creatively through an infographic.
Topic: Media and Cyber or Digital Literacies
Activity: Reflect Me
1. Can I read/write? Do I know how to write and send emails, create documents and simple
spreadsheets, use a web browser, and make sense of the search results returned by a search
engine? How deep?
Yes, I can read and write. Indeed, I know how to write and send emails, create
documents and simple spreadsheets, use a web browser, and make sense of the search
results returned by a search engine. I am somehow information and media literate and I
know the reliable source of every information I’m looking for.
2. Do I know to find information on local and national news, politics and events and also, I know
where I am likely to find reliable, factual information on a given topics, I have an understanding
of the relationship between what the information is about and its ability to make itself stand-
out? How?
Yes, I know to find information on local and national news, politics and events? Do I
know where I am likely to find reliable, factual information on a given topics? Do I have
an understanding of the relationship between what the information is about and its
ability to make itself stand-out as well through fact checking and I am not just relying on
one source, even I found already the information still, I always find another information
to other sites just to make sure that the information I found was right and correct?
3. Can you explain how critical thinking is important to both Media and Digital Literacy?
Critical thinking is important to both media and digital literacy because in Media and
digital literacy requires critical thinking. learning how to gather information using media
isn’t just easy because not all information is factual and authentic and also because
some sources are not reliable. We must always use our critical thinking because in
media and digital literacy everything is complex and narrow.
4. If your principal asked you to insert Medial Literacy into your subject, and you could only
accommodate three skills/competencies, which competencies would you aim for? On what
basis would you choose the three and exclude the other?
If our principal asked me to insert Medial Literacy into my subject, and I could only
accommodate three skills/competencies, the competencies I would aim for are the tool
literacy, Resource literacy and Social-structural literacy. The basis if why I chose the
three and exclude the other is that the knowledge of prioritizing the basic before we go
further. We should first have ability to locate, evaluate, create, and communicate
information on various digital platforms. Put more broadly, it is the technical, cognitive,
and sociological skills needed to perform tasks and solve problems in digital
environment.
5. If you had to create a report on Boyle’s Law, can you create a plan for locating and accessing
the information you need? How would you ensure that you actually understand the
information you find?
Yes, If I had to create a report on Boyle’s Law, I can create a plan for locating and
accessing the information you need. I would ensure that in actually understand the
information I find through not only relying on one source but also, I will find another
source. I will also base on a reliable and verified sources.
