 DAY 8 || 12/5/2017

This week is the Boys and Girls Week therefore our chosen classmates are the one who is going to teach us in different subjects. And, in the subject of MediaLit1718, Ethan Roldan was assigned to be the student teacher who is a funny and a great friend.

Today, we discussed about the different media and information sources which includes different factors to consider in gathering pieces of information from various sources that could later on have an impact in our daily lives. The different factors in assessing and evaluating sources and pieces of information that we have discussed are as follows:

Reliability of Information
Verified, evaluated and trustworthiness
Accuracy of Information
Closeness to the exact or actual data
Value of Information
Significance and importance of information 
Authority of the Source
Established expertise on the subject matter
Timeliness
Relevance with accordance to time

We also discussed about the different types of libraries such as Academic, Public, School and Special Libraries. I learned about how important and significant libraries are, for gathering more knowledge and information in different subject matters. It also creates more opportunities in learning and discovering new things and ideas. Also, we discussed about the different skills one must have to be able to to assess different information gathered and collected before accepting such data.

After the discussion, our student teacher asked us to make a table about a given article to test what we have learned in the application of different skills in assessing, evaluating and processing the news information. Here is the table that I created.

Selection Criteria
Questions to ponder
Answer
Reliability
What are the details of this piece of news? Which of these details can be verified in other sources? Could these details be true? Why or why not?
Ø Details: Ateneo wins and prevails over De La Salle in the finals game of UAAP Season 80 Men’s Basketball.
Ø The score which is 88 – 86 can be verified in other sources.
Ø These details are true because it was based in the official game statistics and details.
Accuracy
Which of these facts are measurable? How were they derived? Was the article written in an objective manner? Is the article written with care?
Ø The time, score and other statistics can be measured.
Ø These facts were measured through recording while the actual game was going on.
Ø The article was written in an objective manner and it was also written with proper care.
Value
Consider the audience of the article? Who would find this article valuable?
Ø The audience or people who could find this article valuable are the students of the universities involved as well as the fans of UAAP or basketball.
Authority
Who wrote the article? How is the author related to the article? What was his source? Are the sources properly cited? What is the reputation of the author? Is he known for some biases?
Ø The article was written by Tristan Tamayo and Rick Olivares.
Ø The reporters were related to the article since they are journalists, probably sports writers, and they were present as the game happens.
Ø The sources were the actual telecast of the game, since they were present in the actual game to tally information and statistics about the game.
Ø The sources are properly cited.
Ø The reputation of the author is that aside from being journalist, he is also a photographer and writer.
Ø I am not certain but it would have been a no.
Timeliness
When was the article written? Is it possible that some of the information in the article has changed in time? If yes, would the change have any effect on the conclusion of the article?
Ø The article was written on December 3, 2017.
Ø No, since the statistics and details in this article would never change and will still stay the same in time.



After the table that we have made we were given an assignment. Here has been our assignment which is about our school, Manila Science High School.

1. Identify the different information about Manila Science High School
There are truly various information about Manila Science High School, which involves its history, main information, curriculum, faculty and staff and even the students. Besides these pieces of information, announcements that are made within the school are also pieces of information that are passed from the higher officials like the principal and disseminated to the students of the campus.
    
2. What are the possible sources of this information?
The possible sources of these pieces of information include the official page of Manila Science High School. Other information could also be gathered through other known websites in the internet. There could also be books and other print media that could give information about the school. Also, the members of the school such as the faculty and staff could also give details and information, however most of it are limited since their tenure in the school has not been since its foundation but only in a specific time frame that may cause there knowledge to be limited. It is also better not to rely on different people in gathering information but to the authorized personnel such as the principal, curriculum chairs, and also authorized media such as print media and websites which could give a more accurate and reliable information.

MAMULAT: Ang Paglala ng Global Warming         Tunay na napakaganda ng mundo na nilikha ng ating Panginoon. Taglay nito ang lahat ng kailangan natin upang mabuhay ng masaya at matiwasay. Subalit, masyado na ata nating inaabuso ang kapangyarihan at kalayaang binigay satin dito sa lupang ating kinatataniman. Kasabay ng pag-unlad at paglago ng mga teknolohiya ay ang unti-unting pagkasira at pagkawasak ng mga likas na yaman. Kasabay nang labis na pag-unlad ay ang paniningil sa atin ng kalikasan sa ating mga pagkukulang. Hindi maigigiit ninuman na tunay ngang lumalala na ang problema at kasabay ng pag-init ng ulo ng Inang Kalikasan ay ang pag-init ng mundong ating kinabibilangan.           Ang Global Warming ay ang pagtaas ng kabuuang temperatura ng mundo bunsod ng mga tinatawag na Greenhouse gases na bumabalot sa ating atmospera at nagpapainit sa mundo. Ang pangunahing sanhi ng pagdami ng Greenhouse gases ay ang pa...

We were given some questions by our teacher Mr. Opiana with regards to the knowledge that we have about language. Here are some of the questions and my answer. We were tasked to interpret the quotation. "Language is a source of  misunderstanding" MY INTERPRETATION:  There are various languages in the world and there are also a lot of ways to use different languages thus creating an ironic effect since language is for communication but it also causes miscommunication due to different language barriers and different interpretations of a message.  Does the user's/ audience's own background or experience affect the interpretation of messages? ANSWER: Yes, the different experiences and background of people can influence the way on how they interpret certain messages. This is because these backgrounds and experiences ca change their persp...
