3. 1.) WEEK 1 ACTIVITY 1.2: APART BUT NEVER ALONE
After reading the article, I realized how important communication is for us during this pandemic. Because with this communication, it helps us to
be alert and aware of what is happening in our surroundings and if there are an emergency that is needed to be announced immediately. It also
helps us to connect with other people especially in our family and friends that is away from us to ask what they are doing and to advise them in
our own knowledge on what should they do. For example, we will experience the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ). Just like when we
experienced ECQ, there were guidelines and protocols regarding leaving the house or schedule of buying essentials that is prepared by the
mayor. This information is disseminated through barangay captains and social media. These kinds of communication are badly needed in order to
spread the information among the citizens of the place. Imagine, if there is no communication how we can know if there is an announcement in
our perspective places.
As a student, communication is very important and that’s why I’m using my social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Messenger and others
which is a big help to check my family members and friends. Using these applications is one of the best and easiest way to communicate with
them. With this type of communication, it can make our family and friends' bond stronger. On the other hand, I also play mobile games to play with
my friends even though we haven’t seen each other for a long time but we can share our experience it.
All of us will experience the new normal that is why we should adjust from what we are usually doing especially for those who go to work and us
students who go to school every day for our safety. That’s why we should use our gadgets properly specially to search for important news during
the pandemic.

4. 2.) WEEK 1 REFLECTION
1. Communication is the directed and purposeful exchange of information and messages between people or groups of people by through verbal
or nonverbal means. This communication involves a sender, receiver, feedback, noise and channel.
 Sender – The one who delivers message.
 Receiver – The one who receives the message.
 Message – a short communication that is sent to the receiver.
 Channel – serves as the passageway of the message.
2. Communication is a process because it undergoes a steps and order to successfully communicate with others.
3. The positive influence of media and information to communication are mode of entertainment and self-expression, could be a source of
inspiration, helps develop social skills and many more. Mode of entertainment and self-expression because in using social media platforms
like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, helps each one of us to interact to others where we can show our expression and by that, it can boost
our confidence and self-esteem. Could be a source of inspiration because it is an online documentaries, movies, and inspirational story that
teens can watch to be more inspired. Help develop social skills because there are some people who cannot interact easily to others that is
what we called introvert. Through communication they can meet new friends that they can talk to.
4. The negative influence of media and information to communication are media becomes a source of misinformation and fake news. Publishers
also posts whatever they want and unmindful of the consequences of their posts Social media made everyone feel that they can also post
whatever comes on their mind. It can also pose medical, social and psychological issues because, whatever that is posted on media may
cause addictions and sometimes it can destroy interpersonal relationships.

5. 3.) WEEK 2 REFLECTION
As a student, media information and literacy help me to think critically. It has also the ability to identify different types of media and the
message that they are sending. When we talk about media, it encompasses print media, such as newspapers, magazines, posters and more.
This media literacy can also help us to become closer to God, our family and nation by using media properly like we can search some
information about the bible we can also read bibles using media even we don’t have our bible in our house but still we can still read and use it
as alternative from bible. This can also help to get closer in out family because even they are in work and even though we are not living
together but still with the use of media we can communicate that can make me and my family connected. Last is the nation, we can share our
experience on what is happening to our country that’s why it makes others to be aware on what is happening to our country and it makes them
more prepared and have a knowledge on how to prevent the bad happenings or this pandemic brought to us. This is how media and
information literacy helps us in different ways.

and violations. Being media literate makes everyone who uses the media more effective. They will also know on how is the proper use of media like
they will understand what should they avoid and what should they do when using media.

factor authentication so that his account will asking for two credentials to login his account and for the scammers cannot access it easily. As he
uses the internet, he verifies first the site’s security because it can also a factor of being hacked and they can get your information as well.
 Wilfred saw a message sent to his email stating “You won 10,000,000₱ please register to claim” When he clicks the register button it asks for his
information like name, age, address and his card number. So that he decided to stop because he knows that he shouldn’t give his information to
the media because he also knows that it may harm or something bad may happen if he continues.

12. CONCLUSION:
• In all, we as a user of media like social media, we should first know how to be a media literate person. A media literate person knows how to
evaluate, analyze and they can easily recognize if the things that they are doing in media is wrong already. Being a media literate person is a
very big help or you may contribute a lot in your community because, you can share those important things like sharing the news with reliable
sources unlike the others who keep on spreading fake news and misinformation. Since we also know that the media and technology is very
useful in our country because it is where other people are depending. Like they keep on searching some information especially about the virus
that is continuously spreading in the world. Because with this media, it helps us to give and information easily and it is very easy to access by
anyone. That’s why we should think first about the information that we are getting from different types of media or maybe ask someone who
has a knowledge about it before spreading to your family, friends and some relatives. So, try your best on how you can contribute in the
community and so that the people around you will easily trust your works and share it to others who is also needed your information. In this
situation, you should apply also the “Think before you click” or knowing first the result if it is positive or negative effect. Just always remember

using its paragraph formatting and some other features to construct my sentences in a proper way.
