Responsible Use Of Media
3 and Information
Media and other information providers play a central role in information and
communication processes. Nowadays, media become the common outlet of self-
expression and creativity. Its huge influence spreads speedily across the globe. The
connection between technological advances and people’s connectivity created a
huge impact to the lives of today’s generation. This module covers all the above
mentioned concepts.
What’s In
Media and Information literacy recognizes the primary role of information and
media in our everyday lives. Empowerment of people through Media and
Information Literacy (MIL) is an important prerequisite for fostering equitable
access to information and knowledge and promoting free, independent and
pluralistic media and information systems. Media and Information Literacy is
compose of three main concepts: Media Literacy, Information Literacy and
Technology/Digital Literacy. Developing necessary skills and competencies in
regards with these concepts is an effective way to use and produce information
from the traditional and new media.
Notes to the Teacher

What is It
RESPONSIBLE USE OF MEDIA AND INFORMATION
We defined Digital Literacy/Technology Literacy as the ability of an individual,

either working independently or with others, to responsibly, appropriately, and
effectively use technological tools. This concept has something to do with issues
arising in the digital world today. With the growing trend in the use of technology,
cases of unethical use are also surging up. With this concern, ethical use of media
and information should be given great emphasis through inculcating Digital
citizenship starting with Digital access. Digital access refers to the ability to fully
participate in digital society. This includes access to tools and technologies, such
as the internet and computers, that allow for full participation.
Having full access to technology requires continuously developing norms of

appropriate, responsible, and empowered technology use which refers to Digital
Citizenship. Let’s take a look at the Nine elements of Digital Citizenship to
understand its content.

The elements (9 elements of digital citizenship) have also been organized under the
principles of respect, educate and protect. To fully grasp it, take a look on the

Digital citizenship also includes Digital Etiquette which pertains to electronic

standards of conduct or procedures and has to do with the process of thinking
about others when using digital devices. Recognizing Online Proper conduct is a
must and it has something to do with “Netiquette”.
Merriam- Webster dictionary defined Netiquette as set of rules about the proper
and polite way to communicate with other people when using the internet.
Common issues in the digital world such as bashing and online bullying occur due
to improper conduct online. As a responsible online user, the following core rules
should be taken into consideration;

Rule 1: Remember the Human,

Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life,
Rule 3: Know where you are in cyberspace,
Rule 4: Respect other people's time and bandwidth,
Rule 5: Make yourself look good online,
Rule 6: Share expert knowledge,
Rule 7: Help keep flame wars under control,
Rule 8: Respect other people's privacy,
Rule 9: Don't abuse your power,
Rule 10: Be forgiving of other people's mistakes.
Learning is never never ending, the more information we have, the more we seek for
more. With the birth of technology, access to information comes at the tip of our
fingers. However, despite of the leisure technology offers, people tend to abuse it
resulting to human conflict. Proper online conduct is a must every time in contact
with the digital world to avoid unpleasant situations.
