Media Literacy

Bautista et al (2016) from New Mexico-based Media Literacy Project (MLP) describes
media literacy as the “accessibility, review, assessment and media development.
Media literacy is the method by which media content is dissected for critical analysis.
To do so, it is important to look at the underlying meanings of media content, its
ownership and control, as well as how they are portrayed.

Information Literacy

According to the American Library Association, (2000) Information literacy is a

collection of skills requiring individuals to identify when knowledge is needed and have
the ability to efficiently find, assess and use the necessary information. It aims at
encouraging individuals to efficiently search, analyze and use information.

While media literacy focuses on understanding, using, and producing messages from
different media, information literacy is the ability to effectively and sensibly find,
evaluate, and utilize information.

Technology Literacy

Bautista et al (2016) from the Department of Education in Colorado (2009)

describes technology literacy as "the ability to use effective technology to interact,
solve problems, navigate, handle, incorporate, analyze, develop and generate
information to improve learning in all subject areas, and to gain lifelong knowledge
and skills in the 21st century."

Where media and information literacy are concerned with the use of messages from
various media sources, technology literacy focuses on the responsible and effective use
of tools or networks to access, evaluate and generate the message.
Not all information are reliable and true. Social media create fake news which gives
confusion to people. Hence, learning Media and Information Literacy will help every
individual become a responsible producer of information and an innovator of media
and information. It promotes critical thinking to empower people to process and verify
the information they receive, the manner it was disseminated, and the purpose for
which it was shared.
Through this lesson, you are expected not just a media and information literate
individual, but an agent of change in the different media and information landscape.
