1 Media and Information

What’s New

Activity 1: Unlocking Words

Hi there! How are you today? We are now in lesson 9, in this lesson we will
talk about the current and future trends of media and information.
But just hold on first, before we will discuss I want you to answer our
motivational activity. This is to help you discover and understand our topic. Are you
ready? Let’s rock it!
The name of the activity is WORD RIDDLE. Riddle is something like puzzle, in
that clues properly put together create a mental picture that gives the answer to the
riddle. You only must understand the statement and guess. Here is the example.
Take a look!

For example:
I am a small animal. I am grey. I like cheese. I rhyme with house. I’m a .
The answer of this riddle is mouse. Now let’s start! Analyze the statement very well.
You can do it! Write your answer on a ½ sheet of paper.

1. Look at the numbers on my face you won’t find 13 in any place. What am I?
2. You can play with it at night. It can give you text and call even information that you
want. Who am I?
3. I am a word. My name starts in letter T and ends in letter S. I am useful in opening
website like google, yahoo and Facebook. Can you guess me?

Thank you for answering the first activity, for that give yourself 5 claps for a
job well done! Now let’s process the activity. I want you to answer the following
process questions.

Process Questions:
1. How do you find the activity?
2. What do you think is the connection of this activity to our lesson?
3. Aside from your answer, can you enumerate other example of technology?

What Is It

Today, we will discuss about the current and future trends of media and information. I
will show you some examples of current technologies and even in the future.

 Before we will start, I want you to think a technology that will help you in the
future and write it in the piece of paper. Describe what is the uses of that technology
and how it works. Just keep the paper.
Now, let’s move on to our discussion. We will evaluate current trends in media
and information and how it will affect/how they affect individuals and the society.
So, here are the examples of current trends in media and information. Let’s start!

Wearable technology (also called wearable gadgets) is a category of

technology devices that can be worn by a consumer and often include tracking
information related to health and fitness. Other wearable tech gadgets include devices
that have small motion sensors to take photos and sync with your mobile devices.

Smartwatch is not only for checking time and date. Today, you can use
smartwatch for checking your email, if you have a text message or even a call. Let us
dig deeper, the following are some examples of wearable technology.
A Smartphone is a cellular phone with an embedded computer and other non-
telephone-related features such as an operating system, web browsing, and the ability
to run software applications.

Mind Mapping

The third wearable technology is fitness tracker. This technology will tell you how
fit you are. Take a look!
Fitness tracker is the best way to monitor your movement and health with
unrivaled accuracy and effortlessness. A wrist-worn device that can detect some
combination of walking steps, running distance, heart rate, sleep patterns and
swimming laps. Fitness bands interact via Bluetooth with an app in a mobile device that
configures the device and downloads the wearer’s activity data. Below are the list of
the best fitness tracker.

Now, let us explore the future technologies. Here are the following future
technologies, let’s take a look!
5G Smartphone and Network. 5G is the fifth generation of internet speed. This
is the new fastest speed of internet connection. The successor of 4G.

Now you already know the different examples of current and future trends of
media and information. Always remember that the goal of these technologies is to have
an easy understanding of information. Example, if you want to know your heart rate
you use heart rate monitoring device. How amazing isn’t?
Before we will continue our discussion, I want you to pause for a while. Get some
coffee or juice for you to feel more relax as we discuss about the MOOC or the
Massive Open Online Course. Are you ready? Let’s start.

So, what is MOOC or Massive Open Online Course?

Online Course (MOOC)?

Mind Mapping: Advantages of MOOC

Massive Open Online course can cater a large mass of participants. Where the participants
can interact over the internet.

Explanation:
An e-learning program intended to cater students coming from different parts of the
world. The word MOOC was coined in 2008 by Dave Cormier. A MOOC may be
patterned on a college or university course or may be less structured. Not all MOOCs
offer academic credits when you finish a course such as diploma or certificate although
it may be patterned on a college or university course. With easier access to media like
streaming and blogging sites, most MOOCs are less structured, but they provide
education that will help students acquire certification, employment or proceed to other
studies.
