Self-help – Individual Task
1. Assess and write your
perception/experience (good and non-good) of the Facebook Social Media.
·
Facebook Social Media has a different impact
on our everyday life. Just like in my own experience, Facebook Social madia is
a good thing in my life. In facebook I can connect to my relatives and friends,
especially with my mom. There are many instances that facebook social media
help me in my study. There are many pictures and videos that inspired and
motivate me to do more and to dream high and also, because of facebook social
media, I am updated to different events, news (inside and outside the country)
and inform me if there are celebration that is very important.
2. Prepare a grid chart
differentiating the past-30 years old generation and new digital generation.

Past-30 years old generation

New digital generation

·
The
old generation has availed of slow and single-track pattern of
activities. Life has been comfortably
slower for oldies as they watch and follow television tele-nobelas like
Walang Hanggan patronize the movies of their favorite local performers, and
prioritizes social activities like community outings and dance clinics.
·
Read
book texts, enriched by illustrations and photos. In order to research, they
go to the school library, use the card catalogue for needed books, and sign
up to borrow books for home reading.
·
The
past-30 year old generation has obtained information in a linear, logical and
sequential manner this has made them more logical, focused, and reflective
thinkers.
·
The
traditional education system gives priority to independent learning, prior to
participative work.
·
Old
teachers teach students in order to help them pass tests and complete the
course requirement.
·
The traditional reward system in education
consists in the grades, honor certificates/medals, and diplomas. Including
future jobs, the traditional school’s reward system consists of unclear
rewards for performance.
|
·
The
new generation is exposed to quick flicking video games, mobile phone texting,
socializing through the social Web sites, and downloading
text/music/photos/video with adeptness and task-switching speed.
·
The
technology or digital generation has greater affinity to visuals (photos and
video) compared with texts. In fact, they have been exposed since childhood
to cable television and video images especially cartoon characters, and then
to computer images, in such a manner and their visual fluency or abilities
have sharpened and enhanced.
·
The
new generation, however, follows a personal random access to hyperlinked
digital information, less superior to elders in focus and reflection. Thus,
they appear to be more easily bored and distracted during class lectures.
·
New
learners, however, are already acquainted with digital tools that adapt to
both personal and participative work. They take the opportunity for dozens of
instantaneous ways to communicate with others- mobile calls and texts,
emails, Facebook, YouTube, MySpace, Twitter, wikis, etc. Experts describe
this mode of digital learning as one that is based on experimentation,
discovery and intuition.
·
On
the other hand, the new digital learners simply wish to acquire skills,
knowledge and habits as windows of opportunity afford them to learn. Our
parents have completed a course and have engaged in a permanent job for most
of their lives.
·
Digital
learners on their own experience more immediate gratification through
immediate scores from games, enjoyable conversation from web-cam calls,
excitement from email chats, and inviting comments from their Facebook
account.
