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. The activity is also related to our discussions and articles that we read and gave us some guide questions in determining our knowledge and reaction to such statements. Overall, it was a wholesome meeting

Below is an activity we did called Selection Criteria:

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...
