12- Media Literacy

According to Center for Media Literacy defined Media Literacy is a 21st century approach to education. It provides a framework to access, analyze, evaluate, create and participate with messages in a variety of forms — from print to video to the Internet. Media literacy builds an understanding of the role of media in society as well as essential skills of inquiry and self-expression necessary for citizens of a democracy.

A seminar on Media Literacy: "Mobilizing the Millenials as Socially Responsible Prosumers" held on November 25,2015 at APC Auditorium 

A seminar which primary objective is to develop sense of social responsibility among RAMpage editorial staff and to have a discussion on media literacy among APCians.

We thought that we just attend as usual a seminar because we don't have our GramCom class that day and our professor dismissed us earlier .We're so glad that time ,but suddenly when we heard a message from one of my blockmate that we are required to listen to a seminar and it also required to be blogged .When I looked to the flow of the seminar if find it interesting because it's all about media.Also, I've read the latter part of the program and I saw that guest speakers were invited from GMA and we were told about their site called SubSelfie.com 

A film screening goes first in the program wherein it showed videos of the members of RAMpage and shared their experiences through an interview.I'm so amazed to them because they are worked hard and had put lot of efforts just to give APCians the latest new that we must know and get updated on the happenings in school campus. The invited speakers who worked at GMA which I think they are a big help to us because learned so much from them.As journalists, they gave us some knowledge and discussed with us what are their job all about.

Certificate of Recognition given to the guest speakers

Of all the three the second speaker was my favorite because the way she is discussed things I find it so interesting.She discussed about how the social media affects life of people. One thing I've learned from her that retained in my mind and always a reminder to me is that what you posted in any social media sites we must take responsible of it and also think before we post .I also learned from her that we must focus on the real situations and not to deceived of any useless topics .We're so glad to have an invited speakers from GMA , hear their experiences and very useful informations.
