Media and Information Literacy

Teaching Guide
UNESCO defines Media and Information Literacy as a set
of competencies that empowers citizens to access, retrieve,
understand, evaluate and use, to create as well as share
information and media content in all formats, using
various tools, in a critical, ethical and effective way, in
order to participate and engage in personal, professional
and societal activities.
The Philippines is among the first country to adapt Media and Information
Literacy as part of basic education curriculum. The Department of
Education in the new K-12 Basic Education Curriculum included Media and
Information Literacy as part of the Core Subjects under the Communication
Learning Area for Senior High School (SHS) at Grade 11 or 12 with one
semester allocation.
The Media and Information Literacy course introduces the learners to basic
understanding of media and information as channels of communication
and tools for the development of individuals and societies. It also aims to
develop students to be creative and critical thinkers as well as responsible
users and competent producers of media and information.
Target Teachers
Primarily, this Teaching Guide is intended to be used by current and future
Grade 11 or 12 teachers of Media and Information Literacy. In addition,
teachers from all educational levels across all content and subject areas are
also welcome to explore it as a guide to integrate technology into their class
activities.
Teachers will master (1) prioritizing literacy ; (2) learning and teaching
media and information literacy through constructivist approach; (3)
becoming competent consumers and producers of information and media
resources; and (4) developing digital citizenship and lifelong learning.
Moreover, we envision an MIL teacher with the following qualifications:
 Masters in Education Major in Education Technology or IT/ICT

Education or any related field;
 Three-year experience in teaching education technology or T/ICT
Education or any related field
 Three-year experience in the analysis, design, development,
implementation and assessment of different types of media and
information;
 High competencies in online / offline software technologies;
 Highly motivated, outcome-based oriented and life-long learner
Parts and Schedule
The Teaching Guide is based on the MIL Curriculum Guide of DepEd. Each
Lesson is divided into two parts: Lecture and Laboratory. The Lecture class
has an allocation of 60 minutes and could be delivered inside a traditional
classroom although some topics would require a computer with
presentation software. The Laboratory class has an allocation of 120
minutes and highly recommended to be conducted inside a computer
laboratory with Internet connection. In most Lessons, there is a continuous
flow of discussions and activities from the Lecture to Laboratory.
The time allocation is limited to 3 hours (180 minutes) per week compared
to the four 4 hours per week in DepEd Curriculum Guide to accommodate
schedule changes, unannounced/abrupt class suspensions, and other
distractions. Your school might have a different scheduling scheme.
Take note that there are Lessons with two Lecture and Laboratory parts
(Motion Media and Information, Manipulatives / Interactive Media and
Information, and Multimedia Information and Media).
Media and Information Design

The Media and Information Design Framework aims as a guide in the
analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation of pertinent
media and information outputs.
Components Guide Questions

Sender/Author refers to the producer / creator of the the media and information
Key content refers to the topic, facts, figures and others used in the media and information
Purpose refers to the reason, motivation or intention of the message.

elements: tone, mood, color, font types, manipulation of space, speed, direction,
balance, repetition, emphasis, movement, rhythm, unity, contrast, hierarchy, contrast,
proportion, alignment, proximity, pattern, others.
Medium / refers to the format or platform used in presenting the media and information
Format
Media and Information Literacy Portal
The use of the MIL Portal is a crucial part of teaching MIL. It refers to the
system for submission, checking, tracking, and displaying learners work.
Because of the project-based nature of the course, we highly recommend
that you use an online platform that can keep all files in a single library.
Some recommendations for MIL Portal are listed below.
Electronic Portfolio
The learners would create their own individual personal online page which
will be called ePortofolio. An electronic portfolio or ePortfolio is a collection
of outputs developed by the learners uploading at an online platform. In
recent years, it has become valuable learning and assessment tool. Some
recommendations for ePortfolio are listed below.
Blogs and Personal Websites
 WordPress
 Blogspot
 Tumblr
 Wix
 Others
The learners would decide on the platform their they would use.
It’s a good tool for displaying student submissions publicly, and you can
also track students’ progress by going through their individual pages and
their body of work
It might be difficult for you to check each submission by going to the

students’ personal pages one-by-one so you may want to ask the learners to
also submit at MIL Portal all their outputs.
