6th meeting || Thursday (2nd week)

In this meeting, we were tasked to explain our thought on some statements and quotes which are: 

"Knowledge is power"

Knowledge for me serves as the key to success in all areas and nurtures our growth as human beings. Since we human beings are intelligent it is only natural that we strive to utilize our intellect which is to have knowledge.

"How does information become knowledge?"

When information is filtered and collected upon different situations is the process in which we obtain knowledge from information.

Ethical use of information

For me, this is the use of proper and responsible use of information and knowledge. To prevent misuse, plagiarism, and harm to other people.

The importance of giving credit 

It is giving respect to the creator and their work. We do not wish to have something stolen from us so we should not steal from others. Likewise, it is the same with media creation, we must not steal properties from others whether it be virtual or real.

After the activity, our teacher further explained to us what plagiarism is, how to avoid it, and quoting the authors from which we use reference.We were also taught paraphrase

8th meeting || Tuesday In this meeting, we had a different teacher, who is also our classmate, Ethan Roldan. We discussed the validity and truthfulness of articles that we read and find on the internet and our student teacher also emphasized on what to look out for when looking for information on the internet. He was able to discuss the presentation with ease and fluency of which I and my classmates were proud of.  We learned a lot of things in the meeting and finished it off with an individual activity.

2nd Day || Wednesday In our 2nd meeting, our teacher further clarified for us the previous terms we discussed and elaborated on the definitions provided. We moved on with our next topic which was a set of questions that will help us build a "Framework" on what journalism is and how we usually outline our goal or article.  In this format, I realized that it would be of great help when we utilize outlines such as this when we are journalists or aiming to become one. This greatly helps our way of seeing how our topic forms and organizes our ideas to become more concrete and transparent to what we truly want to do. Finally, after we have finished our activity, we proceeded with discussing Edmodo's policy and other forms of policies such as copyright and creative commons. Overall, what we have discussed today is very useful especially in the fact that we use media everyday or most of the time. Image source: https://blog.hubspot.com/hubfs/00-Blog_Thinksto...

The former was about linking the source of an image in case we ever use one on our blog. While the latter is about Print, Broadcast, and New Media that comprise the media that we use or see today. We were tasked to differentiate the given images shown to us in those 3 categories mentioned beforehand. Below is the table and my answers to the questions: PRINT BROADCAST NEW MEDIA Newspaper Magazines Mimeograph Journal TV Radio Film Youtube Social Media Smartphone It was particularly easy to categorize due to the names of the categories which we could infer from. After the activity, our teacher discussed the definitions of each category and of the concept of Media Convergence in which mu...
