Let’s Talk
About Information Literacy

This

Technology Literacy
Media Literacy

Media Literacy highlights the capacity of an individual to understand

the functions of media.

It is the ability to determine the relevant use and worth of media

platforms.

This means that an individual knows how to use or manage media

accounts or media platforms.
Information Literacy

Information Literacy is the communication or acquiring of data or facts

that relate to the use of media information.

This involves a careful and thoughtful way of gathering information

legally, avoiding such pitfalls as violating intellectual property rights and
plagiarism.
Technology Literacy

Technology Literacy is the skill of an individual to manipulate

technology independently or with the assistance of others in using the
technology in an efficient and suitable way.

These skills are needed to access knowledge and communicate

information in a legal and ethical manner.
Responsible Use of Media and
Information

• The 21st Century is known as the

information age. Now, people are
highly dependent on technology in
different aspects of their lives such as
for communication, entertainment,
and work-related activities.
 • Responsible use of media and
information is encouraged,
especially in education. Teachers
and students use reliable internet
sources in acquiring information as
well as in researches.

Responsible Use of Media and Information

• Certainly, media and information literacy is an essential skill
that we need to develop for us to take advantage of the use
and benefits of technology in the modern society, while
avoiding its pitfalls.

Responsible Use of Media and

Information
Here are some tips
for the responsible
use of media and
information.
1. Ensure personal
information safety
• Do not display or give away your
personal information on your social
media account. When you are using
applications and websites, read first the
“terms of use”. It’s wise to take a close
look and read all the sections thoroughly.
2. Get permission
• When posting videos or pictures of other
people on your social media account, do
not forget to ask for the owner's
approval and of the people who
appeared in the video or picture.
3. Think before you click

• When posting or sharing on social media,

think first if the information you are going
to post, or share is accurate, helpful,
informative, nice, and kind to others. Avoid
posting or sharing inappropriate,
uncomfortable, or rude insights on your
account.
4. Keep your password
safe
• Keep an eye on your account; do
not let others know your
password. Update your password
often to avoid your account from
being hacked or used by a poser.
5. Spread positivity
• Share positive and uplifting posts to
your friends. As much as possible, avoid
negativity and hate in your account
because what you post on social media
becomes a reflection of yourself.
Application
 • Show your creativity and critical
thinking skills by creating a mind
map about the influence of media
and information in
communication. Then write a
short explanation or description
of the mind map that you created.
Use a one whole paper for this
activity.
