Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
A. Preliminary Act

“Good morning, class” “ Good morning, Sir!”
“ Who wants to lead the prayer? “ I will, Sir.”

 your Spirit guides us in all that we do today.

(Checking of Attendance)
B. Motivation
“Okay, class. Before we start to our topic for
today, I would like you to stand up with your (Students stand up)
feet.”

“ We have here 10 balloons and we put some “ Okay, Sir.”

questions inside the balloons.

“ This are the instructions: Create a big circle

inside the classroom. We are going to play a
music and while it plays, you are going to pass “Copy, Sir.”
the balloon to the person right beside you.
Whoever holds the balloon as the music stops,
you are going to pop it and answer the
question inside.

“ Okay, let’s start.” “Let’s go!”

(Music starts playing..) (Students start passing the balloons to their
right side.)
(Music stops.) (Students are laughing and enjoying the
activity.)

“Okay get ready, at the count of three that’s

the time you will pop the balloon.”

“Okay, 1..2..3.. Pop!” (Students start looking for the rolled paper
inside the balloon.)
“Who among you here has a question in the
rolled paper inside the balloon?”
“Okay Jerric, please read the question and
answer directly.” “Me, Sir!”
“How does technology affect life positively?”
“For me, technology always changes our life
very much and takes it to a new level. It is like
the new way of thinking or doing the normal
things differently, better and much more faster
with less hassle and at a much affordable
rate.”
“Yes, very good. You got the point.”
“Who got the other questions?”
“Rovelyn and Kenneth, Sir.”
“Okay, Rovelyn please read.”
“Okay, Sir.”
“What should be the first step for information
search using search engine?”
“I’m going to check the keyword if they are
spelt and linked correctly.”
“Very good, Rovelyn.”
“Next.”
What does it mean to be a literate person?
“For me, if you’re literate it means you can
read and write. Literate can also mean more
than just being able to read and write but being
fluent in the field.
“What a precise answer. Very good.”

C. Presentation
“Okay. This morning we are going to tackle
about the digital literacy.
“When you heard about the word digital, what
comes into your mind?”
“Yes, Ish.” “For me, Sir, it’s an electronic technology that
generates, stores or processes data.”
“Good point.”
“What are the well known examples of digital
technologies?”
“Yes, Jeslee?” “The well known examples included social
media, online games, multimedia and mobie
phones, Sir.”
“Okay, very good.”

D. Discussion
If you ask a few educator colleagues what
digital literacy means to them. You’ll likely
hear a myriad of answers but today I’m going
to discuss to you what is Digital Literacy.

Although the meaning of digital literacy can (Students are listening to the discussion of the
vary greatly by source, even to the point of
teacher.)
confusion, digital literacy encompasses 21st-
century skills related to the effective and
appropriate use of technology.

To keep things simple, let’s narrow the field to

one definition.

The American Library Association (ALA)

defines digital literacy as “the ability to use
information and communication technologies
to find, evaluate, create, and communicate
information, requiring both cognitive and
technical skills.”
“Do you understand?
“Yes, sir!”

“I have a question, what makes a person

digitally literate?
Yes, Jenelyn?
“If a person has an ability to find, evaluate, ad
compose clear information through writing and
other media on various digital platforms.”
“Good.”

“Digital Literacy is also evaluated by an

individual’s grammar, composition, typing
skills and ability to produce text, images,
audio and designs using technology.”

“Today, I will be teaching you how to double-

check internet credibility and sources.”

“What are the commonly used search engines

nowadays?
“Yes, Jude?
“As far as I know, the commonly used search
engines nowadays are google, bing and
yahoo.”
“So, when you are going to search for an
information about the effects of cyberbullying,
how are you going to pick an accurate and
credible information?”
“Anyone?” (Students raising their hand.)
“Okay, Jediah?”
“I’m going to pick the top results of what I’ve
searched.”

“There are common pitfalls in finding

information in the internet. It doesn’t mean the (Students are listening to the discussion of the
source is the first one listed in the database or teacher.)
google or in the catalog, it’s the most accurate
source you need. Just because something is
first doesn’t mean that it’s the best result for
your needs.”

“I’m going to show you the questions to ask

about the accuracy and the credibility of the
sources. (The teacher points on the powerpoint
presentation on the television.)

“1. Is the information repeated anywhere else

in your other sources? (the students are taking down notes.)
2. Does the sources include references that
clearly indicate where the author found his or
her data.”

“So do you have any questions or

clarifications about the definition of digital
literacy? “How about the four principles?”

So, can you recite what are the core aspects of

ecological literacy?”

“Very good, class.”

E. Application
“Okay, at this moment, I am going to divide
the class into 4 groups wherein each group
will create a jingle that is related to the four
principles of digital literacy.”
“Crystal?” “Clear, Sir.”

“So, upon scoring I have here a rubrics that

will serve as a basis on your performance.”
