 Lesson
Media, Information, and Technology
2 Literacy

In this lesson, we learn media and information literacy so that we can value them as
part of communication tools. One reason we need to be media and information
literate is so that we can understand media and information sources. Media and
other information providers play a central role in information and communication
processes. They are one way of communicating information, although their role is
much broader than that. For the purpose of the MIL curriculum, media are defined
(irrespective of the nature and technologies used) as sources of credible and current
information created through an editorial process determined by journalistic values
whereby editorial accountability can be attributed to a specific organization or a legal
person. To the extent that media are an important part of every society’s
communication system, their institutional make-up can mesh with a variety of non-
media information providers, such as libraries, museums, archives, Internet
information providers, other information organizations and citizens who produce
their own content. Media play several roles.

What’s In

Direction: You learned about media and information literacy (MIL) and mil related
concepts in the last module you taken up. Choose the correct answer in the box that
will fit to the sentences below. Do this in a sheet of paper.

interpret information
literacy
media non-verbal verbal

1. Media and information literacy enables people to and make

informed judgments as users of information and media.

2. is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate

and compute, using printed and written materials associated with varying contexts.

3. is the demand of communication.

4. is communicating by voice.
5. is communicating by gesture.

3
Communication is the exchange of information and expression of feeling that can
result in understanding. It is influenced by media and information in various ways
through different mediums. The knowledge you gained from the previous module
leads you to the next module entitled Media, Information, and Technology
Literacy.

Notes to the Teacher

In order to make this lesson will be easy to teach by the

teacher/facilitator she/he has first an eye view about the
following concepts:

a. Media literacy
b. Information literacy
c. Technology literacy

What’s New

Understanding Media and Information Literacy

Direction: Read the given scenario below and answer the following guide questions.
Scenario: Juan, Pedro, and Simon are friends because they have some similarities.
They enjoyed together doing same thing but they have also their differences. All of
them enjoyed in accessing different social media. But Pedro is more knowledgeable
in using gadgets and technological tools. He knows to use those gadgets and tools
effectively. While Simon is more active on communicating through social media
platforms.
Guide Questions

1. What is the given scenario all about?

2. How will you describe the given scenario?
3. Describe the characteristics of the three characters in the scenario?

4
 4. Enumerate what literacy that the three characters have? What are the
similarities and differences of those literacy?
5. What advice can you give to Juan, Pedro and Simon to be more media and
information literate individual?

People accessing media and information need to be media, information, and

technology literate individual. Media literacy, information literacy, and
technology literacy are combined together as Media and Information Literacy
(MIL).

What is It

SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AND AMONG MEDIA LITERACY,

INFORMATION LITERACY, AND TECHNOLOGY LITERACY

Literacy: The ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate and

compute, using printed and written materials associated with varying contexts.
Literacy involves a continuum of learning, wherein individuals are able to achieve
their goals, develop their knowledge and potential, and participate fully in their
community and wider society. 1
Media: The physical objects used to communicate with, or the mass communication
through physical objects such as radio, television, computers, film, etc. It also refers
to any physical object used to communicate messages. 2
Media Literacy: The ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and create media in a
variety of forms. It aims to empower citizens by providing them with the competencies
(knowledge and skills) necessary to engage with traditional media and new
technologies.3

Information: A broad term that covers processed data, knowledge derived from
study, experience, instruction, signals or symbols.4
Information Literacy: The ability to recognize when information is needed, and to
locate, evaluate, and effectively communicate information in its various formats. 5
