B. How will you apply the learning gained from the course to your actual
teaching experience (workplace experience - for non-teaching students)?
Being a teacher of the 21st century, it’s important to recognize that students in
modern times are surrounded by technology not only at school but also outside of the
school environment. Whether they have a smartphone in their pocket or require a
tablet, or computer to complete in-class assignments, and search for information, the
internet is available almost everywhere. It is now a necessity. In this regard, it is
imperative that teachers must educate learners on how to responsibly use the internet
that is, a need for internet use education is necessary.
In addition to the information discussed by the speaker, social media has also
become indispensable in the world of internet technology. Teachers are facing
challenges to the prevailing disinformation being spread online which are polluting
and manipulating the minds of the young who uses social media.
Propaganda, disinformation, misinformation, and fake news have the potential
to polarize public opinion to promote violent reactions and hate speeches, and, to
eventually undermine democracies and reduce trust in the democratic processes.
It is imperative for schools to provide students with a solid education on media
and information literacy as part of the curriculum. Teachers must be well-trained in the
subject to empower students with the necessary competencies to critically
understand and assess information reported by all forms of media.
