Here’s a simple explanation for DIGITAL LITERACY SKILLS: MEDIA, INFORMATION AND ICT each: LITERACY All media messages are constructed: Digital Literacy Simplified: Everything you see, hear, or read in media Digital literacy means knowing how to use digital tools (like TV shows, ads, or news articles) is made by someone. like the internet, social media, and mobile devices to live, Example: A news article is written by a journalist who learn, and work effectively. It involves understanding and decides what information to include and how to present managing the information you find online, knowing how it. to communicate clearly and respectfully in virtual spaces, Media messages are constructed using a creative and being able to tell what information is important or language with its own rules: useful. Simplified: Media uses specific techniques to make Examples: messages appealing or convincing. Understanding Online Information: When you read a Example: A movie might use dramatic music and lighting news article online, digital literacy helps you figure out if to make a scene feel more intense or emotional. the information is true or if it's fake news. Different people experience the same media message Communicating Online: When you send an email or differently: message on social media, digital literacy helps you Simplified: People can interpret or react to the same express your ideas clearly and respectfully. media in different ways based on their background, Organizing Information: When you save useful websites beliefs, or experiences. or articles, digital literacy helps you keep them organized Example: Two people might watch the same so you can find them later. advertisement, but one might find it funny while the other might find it offensive. Four Principles of Digital Literacy: Media have embedded values and points of view: Comprehension: This means understanding the ideas Simplified: Media often reflects the beliefs or opinions of behind digital media. For example, when watching a the people who create it. video, you not only enjoy it but also understand the Example: A documentary might highlight the message it’s trying to send. environmental benefits of renewable energy because the Interdependence: This refers to how different types of filmmakers believe in protecting the environment. media connect and support each other. For instance, a blog post might include a video, images, and links to Information Literacy: other articles, all working together to give more Information literacy is about having the skills to find, information. evaluate, and use information. It includes knowing how Social Factors: Sharing content online, like posting a to search for information, figure out if it's reliable, and picture on Instagram, can send a message about who you apply it to what you need. are or what you care about. It’s not just about showing others; it’s about communicating a message. Examples: Curation: This is about knowing which information is Finding Information: If you’re researching for a school valuable and keeping it organized for future use. For project, information literacy helps you find the best example, bookmarking important websites so you can sources. easily find them later. Evaluating Sources: Information literacy helps you decide if a website is trustworthy or if it’s spreading false Media Literacy: information. Media literacy means being able to understand, create, and share content in a way that makes sense and communicates effectively in the digital world. It also means thinking critically about the media you consume. Examples: Understanding Media Messages: When you watch a commercial, media literacy helps you understand the hidden message behind the ad. Creating Media Content: If you make a YouTube video, media literacy helps you use the right techniques to make your message clear. CREATED BY MARK NATHANIEL B.

Imagine you are planning a trip; you would need a map, a route, and supplies to reach your destination. Instructional design models provide that "map" for teachers to organize lessons and activities to help students learn well. Information, Data, and Media Literacies: Key Points and Examples: When you’re researching for a school project, digital Learner-Centered: literacy helps you search online, choose reliable sources, This means the student is the most important part of the understand the content, and decide which information is teaching plan. The lessons are designed to meet the important. For example, if you find various articles, you needs of the learners. can evaluate which ones are trustworthy and relevant to Example: If students are learning how to write essays, the your project. teacher focuses on what the students need help with, like Digital Creation, Problem Solving, and Innovation: organizing their thoughts or using proper grammar. If you have a school assignment to create a presentation, Goal-Oriented: digital literacy allows you to use tools like PowerPoint to Instructional design always starts with clear goals. The design slides, include images and videos, and present teacher needs to know exactly what they want the your ideas creatively. For instance, if a video doesn’t play students to learn. during your presentation, you might solve the problem by Example: If the goal is for students to be able to solve finding a tutorial online that explains how to fix it. math problems involving fractions, all lessons and Digital Communication, Collaboration, and activities will be focused on reaching that goal. Participation: Real-World Performance: In a group project, digital literacy helps you communicate The design helps students practice skills they will use in with your teammates through email or messaging apps. real life, not just in the classroom. You can discuss ideas, share files, and give feedback Example: If students are learning to communicate in a effectively. For example, using a messaging app, you foreign language, they might practice by having real might discuss which parts of the project each person will conversations, not just memorizing vocabulary. handle and how you’ll combine your work. Measurable Outcomes: Digital Learning and Development: The results of learning should be something you can When you want to learn a new skill, like coding or graphic measure to see if the students really understand the design, digital literacy allows you to find online courses or material. tutorials and practice what you’ve learned. For instance, Example: After teaching a science lesson, students might if you’re learning to code, you might use a platform like take a quiz or perform an experiment that shows they Codecademy to follow lessons and complete coding understand the concepts. exercises. Empirical: Digital Identity and Wellbeing: Instructional design is based on data, meaning the While using social media, digital literacy helps you teacher uses information from tests, quizzes, or manage your digital footprint by using privacy settings observations to improve teaching. and avoiding oversharing personal information. For Example: If most students struggle with a particular math example, you might decide to only share your posts with problem, the teacher might collect this data and adjust friends rather than making them public, and you might the lesson to focus more on that problem. also set limits on your screen time to maintain a healthy Team Effort: balance between online and offline activities. Creating these instructional designs often involves working together with other teachers or experts. ICT Proficiency is the foundation that supports all these Example: A science teacher might work with a math activities, enabling you to use computers, the internet, teacher to create a project that involves both subjects, and other digital tools effectively. For example, ensuring students understand how they are connected. understanding how to use a word processor like Microsoft Word or a search engine like Google is part of In summary, instructional design is about carefully ICT proficiency, and it’s essential for doing all the tasks planning how to teach so that students learn in the best mentioned above. way possible. It involves setting clear goals, focusing on real-world skills, measuring progress, using data, and often working as a team to create effective learning experiences. CREATED BY MARK NATHANIEL B. JAVIER  EDU534 TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING 1 P1 REVIEWER GAGNÉ'S NINE EVENTS OF INSTRUCTION Provide Feedback: Explanation: Give students feedback on their practice to help them improve. Example: The teacher reviews students' answers to the practice problems, pointing out mistakes and offering corrections. Assess Performance: Explanation: Test students to see if they have learned the material. Example: A quiz or test is given at the end of the lesson to measure understanding. Enhance Retention and Transfer: Explanation: Help students remember the information and apply it in different contexts. Example: The teacher might use real-life examples or additional practice exercises to reinforce the lesson and show how the knowledge can be used in other situations. Gagné's Nine Events of Instruction is a model that helps ADDIE MODEL teachers and trainers organize and structure their lessons effectively. It's a step-by-step process that guides them in planning activities and strategies for teaching. Here’s a simple explanation of each event, along with examples: Gain Attention: Explanation: Start by grabbing the students' attention to make them interested in the lesson.

This helps reinforce your knowledge and prepares you to act if needed. These principles make learning more effective by connecting new information to real-life situations, building on what you already know, showing you how to do things, encouraging practice, and helping you integrate what you've learned into your daily life. BLOOM’S TAXONOMY Merrill's Principles of Instruction are based on a synthesis of several instructional design theories and models. Despite the differences in terminology and specific approaches, most instructional design theories agree on a core set of principles necessary for effective and efficient instruction. 1. Problem-Centered Learning What it means: Learning works best when you start with a real-world problem. Instead of learning something abstract, you learn by solving a problem that you might actually face in real life. Example: Imagine you're learning to cook. Instead of just reading about cooking techniques, you start by trying to make a specific dish, like spaghetti. As you make the dish, Bloom's Taxonomy is a framework that helps us you learn the skills you need, like boiling pasta and understand and organize different levels of thinking skills. making sauce. The revised version, updated in 2001, makes it easier to apply in modern education by focusing on actions rather than just ideas. CREATED BY MARK NATHANIEL B. JAVIER  EDU534 TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING 1 P1 REVIEWER OLD VERSION OF BLOOM’S TAXONOMY Levels of Thinking (Cognitive Process Dimension): Remembering: This is about recalling facts or basic concepts. It's the simplest form of learning. Example: Memorizing a formula or remembering a historical date. Understanding: This involves explaining ideas or concepts in your own words. Example: Summarizing a story or explaining how something works. Applying: This means using what you've learned in new situations. Example: Using a math formula to solve a real-world problem. Analyzing: The original Bloom's Taxonomy, created by Benjamin Bloom and his Here, you break information into parts and understand colleagues in 1956, is a framework for categorizing educational how they relate to each other. goals and objectives.
