Dear Parents,

Mind and Integrity College, Inc. is one with every Filipino family in coping with the
demands of our modern times amidst the threat of COVID-19 pandemic.

The school initiated the distribution of a Self-Learning Module (SLM) in order to meet
the essential learning competencies required to be learned by your child whether your child
opts for online, modular, or blended learning modality. The learning activities in this SLM are
arranged chronologically from simple to complex that will lead your child to think critically, act
skillfully, and reflect deeply on each lesson and to practice them into real life settings. Most
importantly, this SLM promotes self-paced learning as your child can always review the least
understood lessons as often as he/she pleases.

Thank you in advance for being one with us! Together, let us envision that, by the end
of this school year, we will see your child as one responsible young person with a heart and
mind for humanity, for nature, for the country, and for God.

Dear Learner,

Welcome to a brand-new year of learning!

This is our gift to you. The school initiated the distribution of Self-Learning Modules
(SLM) that will help you keep up with the lesson whether you opted for online, modular, or
blended learning as a modality.

Please take time to read and do the activities in these SLM as if you are reporting in
school. Set a regular study schedule for you as much as possible, but keep in mind that these
SLM will enable you to learn at your own pace. If you do not understand a lesson, the SLM
would not mind you flipping back the pages repeatedly for review. Also, remember to keep in
touch with your teachers. Send them a message through your online sessions or write them a
note as you do your modular activities.

We wish you good luck in your studies, and we hope that you will remain happy and
enthusiastic in learning!
What This Module is About
Welcome to the 21st Century Society!
We live in a world where the advancement of technologies are going fast – paced and
as the first century looms ahead, it is clear to see that it has advancements that humanity may
never have dreamed of and one of these shining developments is the well-recognized
computer. Having the Latin meaning of ‘computing’ or ‘reckoning’ the computer is an invention
that was called the ‘MAN OF THE YEAR’ in a survey carried out by an international magazine.
This module is an introductory part for the subject in Computer Systems, which will
pave the way towards more meaningful discussions and interactions. This is aimed in
introducing the concept of Computer Systems to Senior High School learners, as solid ground
for college readiness. Basic concepts and terminologies will be presented as we go along the
module.
Together, let us scan the next few pages of this module in order for us to be fully
equipped and to be computer literate individual. There are several standard symbols (icons)
used as you go about in the completion of this module. For instance, a hand cupped with a
sprout represents an activity that introduces you to a new lesson or concept. This is reinforced
with the magnifying glass icon that discusses the activity as a part of the lesson, enabling you
to discover and understand the totality of the lesson. Highlighting each lesson is your
application of learning, an activity that shall transfer the skills and knowledge gained into your
real life situations, symbolized with a nut and wrench tandem.
This module contains varied activities that can help you as a Senior High School
student to not just be a computer literate individual, but a creative and critical thinker as well as
responsible user of computer system.

NOTE: Prepare yellow pad papers where you would write all your outputs for this
module. Do not forget to label your works properly corresponding to the title of each
activity. Do not forget to write your name, section and the date of first entry.
Make sure to clip/staple your works so that they will not easily be separated. It is
advised to take down notes about the important information from each lesson because
of the modules will be returned at the end of every week. Please do not write anything
on module.

The following are the lessons contained in this module:

Introduction to Media and
1 Information Literacy

What I Need to Know

In this fast-paced, technology-driven time, we are bombarded with various information

here and there, in the convenience of a click, right in the comforts of our very own homes. Being
Senior High School students, you are expected to be literate, not just in terms of numbers and
letters, but to be able to fully grasp up to what extent information may be used and distributed.
But first, we need to take a close look at the ways by which we use, and eventually
distribute information. Hence, we will look into communication and its medium. Take a look at
the picture below.

communication/

The picture above depicts how each individual communicate at different levels, at
different forms. Each one of us has a personal concept of communication. Communication
is broadly defined as the imparting and exchanging of information or news (Retrieved from
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/communication on October 31, 2018).

1
 In order to communicate, we use different medium of communication to carry out the
message we want to convey. There are various outlets that we can use in order to deliver our
message. Few of the examples are listed below.

How about you, can you add more to the list?
With the concept of communication defined above, how then can media affect
communication? But, before we discuss further on that, we will contextualize media, as it is
used in your daily lives and routine as students.

 What Is It

As you may have written from the list above, Media is commonly synonymous with
technology. So, what is Media anyway?
Media refers to various channels of communication between a person or persons and
their intended audience. Television, radio, newspapers and the internet are different types of
Media. One of the oldest forms of media is print. Thanks to the ever changing technology,
our exposure to media is almost nonstop. Media shapes our perceptions of what is real. It
surrounds us in the forms of billboards, signage, and even the clothes you wear. We have
radio, television, computers, and smartphones. We have the internet, online video channels,
and all sorts of social media. So stop and look around, media is everywhere, and it’s not going
away anytime soon. Learn about it, understand it, so that you may be media-smart. (YouTube
Channel MediaSmarts retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBP_kswrtrw)
Simply put, media are the things or gadgets that we use in order to convey the details
of the information that we want to impart or communicate to people, and the society in general.
Example, if you want to notify your classmate of a meeting organized by a club you joined,
how will you go about communicating the information? Will you send text messages through
your cellular phone? Or maybe send a private message through social media? Or write it down
on a paper, and hang it on visible places around the campus? Whichever way, you must use
a medium to communicate the information. Hence, communication and media are directly
interrelated, such that media serves as a platform by which one can meaningfully express and
communicate oneself.
Furthermore, a specific media (thing/ gadget) can either be a Source of Information, a
Medium of Communication, or both. A media is considered a source of information if the use
of the media provides knowledge and information about something, while a media used as a
channel to convey information is considered a medium of communication. A media can also be
simultaneously used both as a source and a medium of information. To give you more of this
concept, you may answer the activity below.

 What Is It

From the example done for you, a Cellular Mobile Phone with simple call and text
features is an example of a medium of communication, because it allows you to communicate
and reach out to others. However, Smart Phones which are types of mobile phones having the
multi-purpose features of communication, multimedia functionality, wireless communication
like Bluetooth and wi-fi, is an example of both a source of information and a medium of
communication. Needless to say, a smart phone can be used as a medium to communicate
to other people from across the globe, and if loaded with cellular data, can surf the internet
hence, a potential source of information.
Now that we have discussed the interrelationship of media and communication, we will
examine the different concepts that will be used in this subject. We will build your definition on
the following key concepts, as referenced from the Teaching Guide of Media and Information
Literacy formulated by the CHED in collaboration with the Philippine Normal University:

A. Literacy- The ability to identify, E. Information Literacy- The ability to

 From the example given above, Ashley exemplified literacy in the use of technology,
specifically the use of her i7 processor laptop. The i7 processor laptop is a form of technology,
so the answer is Technology (Digital) Technology.
Now that you have concretely conceptualized the similarities and differences of the
literacies enumerated above, we will now integrate the value of being literate in media and
information to your life as a Senior High School student.
Part of integrating values to your learning towards becoming a literate in media and
information is an inventory of your media habit, lifestyle and preferences. This means that you
will assess your personal schedule and list down your common online activities and quantify
it as to the number of hours you have spent engaged for the specific activity. The table below
shows an example of a common response.

Information Literacy
2
What’s In

In lesson 1, we have learned the mechanics of communication, in order to effectively

deliver messages to other people, using different communication mediums or media. There
are a number of media uses, each can either be a source of information, or the communication
medium itself. We have also defined several literacy terms, one of which is Informagtion
Literacy, which will be discussed in-depth in this lesson.

What I Need to Know

Generated by Marilou L. Lora from

https://bigcrunch.io/v/nAEdNnc7nssE4Xi77EhSJg

• Why do we need information?

• Where do we search for information?
• How do we acquire and store information?
• How do we use the information that we have?
• How will we communicate the information that we have acquired?

The questions outlined above are some of the few questions that comes into mind when
we talk about Information Literacy, which was introduced in the earlier part of this module.
Before we go further, answer the first activity of the lesson.

 What’s New

Activity 1: Situational Simulation

You are given an opportunity to interview personally the mayor of the city where you
live in. In this case, write down at least five (5) questions that you would want to ask the mayor.

What Is It

Now, given the above questions which you have personally chosen, it is important to
understand the need to acquire this information that you have asked from the mayor of the
city. These questions are actually a result of you trying to go through the process towards
becoming an information literate individual.
As a review, we already discussed what Information Literacy is. It is defined as the ability
to recognize when information is needed, and to locate, evaluate, and effectively communicate
information in its various formats. Therefore, it is a set of individual competencies needed to
identify, evaluate and use information in the most ethical, efficient and effective way across all
domains, occupations and professions.

8
 Take note that the concept is appropriately divided into stages as to one cannot proceed
with the next step, unless the initial step is not satisfied. It can be considered as elements,
since each one must be exhibited in an individual if we consider an one as information literate.
In the table from the previous page, let us just consider a situation relevant to your
experience as SHS student, particularly your task on your subject in Practical Research.
First thing that you need to do is to look for a specific need, a problem that needs resolution
(Stage 1) which will serve as the moving reason for your research. Let’s just say you want
to look into students’ reading comprehension. Stage 2 requires that you must determine if
there are available materials for your references, whether they be in hard or soft copies,
digital or otherwise. Definitely, once you have determined your information sources, like the
internet, books, journals, and the like, you must cite these sources appropriately in order to
not be charged with plagiarism. Stage 4 is all about analyzing and evaluating which from the
varied information available are relevant to your research topic, and which are not valuable
enough for use. This stage requires a full understanding of the topic or need that you need
to resolve. Stage 5 requires knowledge as to the preservation and storage of the information
that you have acquired. You may store these on a flash drive, or maybe print or photocopy the
information for your reference. Stage 6 is all about the proper way of using the information that
you have acquired that will be beneficial to a large number of people. The ethical and legal
side of using referenced materials then comes into question. Finally, you will have to decide
then as to the manner of communicating the information to the vast majority of the people.
Definitely as an output of your Practical Research, you need to have this printed and bounded
before submitting to your teacher.
Let us now test your understanding by doing the activity below.

1. You are researching on an assignment in your subject in Media and Information Literacy.
You came along an article online that amazingly can answer the research assignment
perfectly well. You copy and pasted it into one great essay, complete with pictures and
other visuals. You did not cite your references in order to impress your perfectionist
and strict teacher.
2. A family friend, who also happens to be your classmate in one of your classes was
diagnosed with an incurable illness. Your close family ties enabled you to know the
status of her health, including its severity, and asked you to refrain from spilling out the
information outside of your family circle. In order to help her with her absences and
academic standing, you told your class adviser about her health status.
3. You are living in a peaceful community within your barangay where everyone practically
knows everyone. Lately, there have been rumors circulating around the neighborhood
that one of your friends is into illegal drugs. Upon investigation and personal interview,
you found out that he is actually using marijuana because of an emotional problem
within his family. You decided to help him by enlisting the help of psychologists and
authorities in order to help him rehabilitate and cope with the problem. True enough, he
was sent to a rehabilitation center in order to undergo debriefing. The news spread like
wildfire within the neighborhood and soon, his family’s problems was then discussed
out in the open. Your friend’s family have branded you a traitor for helping the “arrest”
of your friend and ultimately revealing their problems to the entire neighborhood.
