One example is the mission statement of the Department of Education: “To protect and promote the right of every Filipino to quality, equitable, culture-based, and complete basic education where:

S tudents learn in a child-friendly, gender-sensitive, safe, and motivating environment.

Teachers facilitate learning and constantly nurture every learner.

A dminis trators and s taff , as stewards of the institution, ensure an enabling and supportive environment for effective learning to happen.

Family, c ommunity, and other s takeholders are actively engaged and share responsibility for developing life-long learners.”

16

Based on the mission statement, task the students to come up with a slogan, message, or call to action that will be subjected to design media. Guide Questions 1. What does the organization want to communicate based on the mission statement? What does the organization want to achieve? How is this relevant to the academic track? 2. After you have crafted or call to action, design how you can your put itslogan, in anmessage, online tool, platform, or application. What is the best way of communicating your message to your target audience? Tell the students to explore and evaluate online platforms. Remind them to use a variety of search terms to direct them to social impact organizations and study how they can express their mission statements. Moreover, encourage them to try out creation tools, and applications. After two weeks, the students should be ready to share their work. Guide Questions 1. Which creation application can you use to incorporate ICT content that will help you effectively communicate messages in your professional track? and principles can you combine to 2. Which design elements communicate with your intended audiences? Based on the mission statement, principles of good design, principles of effective visual messaging, and in consideration of the possible audience/user of the prospective website to be created at the end of the term, instruct the students to conceptualize content. Let them discuss with their group mates which combinations they should include in their website. Guide Questions 1. How will images affect the effectiveness of the website or other online platforms? What designs including color combinations could be used to help communicate your message? 2. Will including an area for a chat box be helpful in achieving the goals of your online platform? Discuss the reasoning of your answer. 3. What other sections will you include?

These may be in the form of, but not limited to an online newsletter, blog, or online magazine.

Lesson 7

Integrating ICT Content Through Collaboration with Classmate and Teacher as Both P eer and Partner

CONTENT Collaborative development of ICT content covers the following topics: 1. team structure and dynamics for ICT content; 2. online collaborative tools and processes; 3. project management for ICT content; and 4. curating existing content for use on the web.

18

Online collaborative tools that may be used currently include, but are not limited to: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Google Docs/ MS Office 365; Prezi; Google Chat/ Hangouts; and Skype/ Viber/ Kakao Talk/ WeChat/ Line.

Platforms that may be currently used to host newsletters and similar ICT content include but are not limited to: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

presentation/ visualization (Prezi, Zoho, Slideshare, Mindmeister); cloud computing (Google Apps); social Media (Facebook Pages, Tumblr); web Page Creation (Wix, Weebly); and blog sites (Blogger, Wordpress, Livejournal, Issuu).

LEARNING COMPETENCIES 1. Evaluate the quality, value, and appropriateness of peer’s existing or previously developed ICT content in relation to the theme or intended audience/viewer of an ICT project. 2. Share and showcase existing or previously developed material in the form of a collaboratively designed newsletter or blog site intended for a specific audience or viewer. OBJECTIVES At the end of the class period, the teacher should be able to: 1. facilitate learning to allow students to curate previously created content and create a collaboratively designed newsletter or blog site for a specific audience; 2. assist students so they may practice doing an evaluation on the basis of quality, value, and appropriateness of a peer’s work and decide on how to improve on it; 3. make the students practice collective decision-making such as coming up with criteria to choose which works previously created within the semester they can include in the final output (newsletter or blog site); and 4. make students collaboratively manage the production of the chosen output.

19

ACTIVITY No. 7 1. Instruct the students to create a Google Site. Direct them to the link provided in their Student Reader. (https://support.google.com/sites/ answer/4417369?hl=en&ref_topic=23216&rd=1) To assist the students on the content of their website, ask them to answer the prompters found in the Student Reader. To help you start the thematic content of a website, fill in the following blanks to serve as key points to build the reader’s interest towards your work: 

 

The issue that matters to me is ______________ [ CAUSE or ADVOCACY] I could use my ____________________ [ TALENT] To make a difference by ___________________ [ ACTION]

Guide Questions 1.

How can you use academics to promote the values, beliefs, customs, and practices of a local community? 2. How can you encourage everybody in your team and partners to sustain participation in managing this website? 3. What are the strengths, weaknesses, and skills of your team members and partners? How can knowing these help optimize the website? 2. Share and showcase existing developed content in the form of a designed newsletter, a blog site, or a website with a given cause that is intended for a specific audience. Show a sample of an existing previously developed online interface related to an advocacy in the academic field, and ask the class to make a blog site or a newsletter (online, if available). As an alternative, the students can choose their own online interface to showcase. Since this project is a collaborative effort, evaluate each student’s ability to work in a collaborative environment. The system of evaluation will be through peer evaluation. Each member of the group will evaluate his or her groupmates/peers using the rubric below. Add all the evaluation scores that a student will receive and get the average score. The average score will serve as the student’s grade for his or her collaborative effort.

Week 12 CONTENT STANDARD Learners demonstrate an understanding that ICT as a tool, medium, and force brings action and mobilizes change in a population, society, or culture. PERFORMANCE STANDARD At the end of the week, learners should be able to independently articulate how ICT tools and platforms have changed the way people communicate, and how social change has been brought about by the use of ICTs.

Lesson 9

ICTs as platform for change

CONTENT ICTs as platform for change covers the following topics: 1. ICT as medium for advocacy and developmental communication; 2. the social power of social media; and 3. digital citizenship and the Filipino people. Samples of this phenomenon include, but are not limited to: 1. 2. 3. 4.

EDSA and Cardinal Sin’s call to action via radio broadcast; EDSA Dos and the use of text messaging to mobilize people; Million People March against Pork barrel via Facebook; and disaster relief operations and mobilization via Internet and text brigades.

LEARNING COMPETENCIES Share anecdotes of how the learner has used ICTs to be part of a social movement, change, or cause to illustrate aspects of digital citizenship. OBJECTIVES At the end of the class period, the teacher should be able to: 1. make students exemplify how ICTs have changed the way people 33

communicate; 2. make students illustrate how ICTs can serve as tools to create social change; and 3. make students share personal experiences in using ICT to be part of a social movement, change, or cause.

ACTIVITY No. 9

Ask the students to recall stories of how they have used ICTs to be part of a social movement, change, or cause to illustrate aspects of digital citizenship. Examples of such are creating poetry online, writing blogs on belief systems, politics, or about environmental concerns, and participating in a clean-up drive or a fund-raising for typhoon victims. Instruct the students to write a journal or a blog entry. They may also opt to create an online photo narrative or a photo album if there is no access to the internet to share their stories/experiences. If the student has no social change or cause involvement, any social event (a class project, a family affair, a celebration) where the student used ICTs to contribute his or her knowledge to make an announcement, a meme, or a video clip may be used for this class sharing. Explain that such personal events also have social and cultural significance to contextualize the student’s rich social experiences. Guide Questions 1. What advocacy in your professional track have you supported? In what way did you support it? Did you use any digital tool to do so? 2. How was the ICT experience? Was it positive or negative? 3. How did ICT change the way people communicated? Compare and contrast how things would have been done had there been no ICTs used and had ICTs been used. Assessment You may want to use the following rubric for the journal or blog.

LEARNING COMPETENCIES 1. Identify a local or regional cause or issue for social change related to specific professional tracks that can be addressed or tackled using an ICT Project for Social Change. 39

2. Analyze how target or intended users and audiences are expected to respond to the proposed ICT Project for Social Change on the basis of content, value, and user experience. 3. Integrate rich multimedia content in design and development to best enhance the user experience and deliver content of an ICT Project for Social Change. 4. Develop a working prototype of an ICT Project for Social Change. OBJECTIVES At the end of the class period, the teacher should be able to: 1. assist students to curate local community resources, namely: a. identify and gather art ideas and materials available in the community; b. organize materials reflective of the group’s content, theme, and purpose; 2. guide students to make decisions on the appearance and content of a website such as to: a. develop an appropriate design based on the previous knowledge acquired in the course; b. plan the details involved in the various phases of building a website; and 3. assist students to identify possible items in the website which may be considered as invasion of privacy, items that could endanger minors, or items that could affect community norms and mores.

ACTIVITY No. 10 Divide your students into groups and direct them to collaborate and develop an ICT Project for Social Change. Guide them through four steps, which should make this task doable. They are as follows: Step 1: Planning and conceptualizing an ICT Project for Social Change Guide Questions 1. What are some sample advocacies for social change in the community? 2. What is it that you want to change in your community? 3. Is there something that many people ignore because either they have become accustomed to taking things for granted, or because they think that things cannot be changed?

40

4. What is it that you feel strongly about the academic track that you think can contribute something to create a change? Ask your students to identify a local or regional cause or issue for social change related to humanities and social sciences that can be tackled using an ICT Project for Social Change. An example would be the lack of a digital site that features the community’s local poets, songwriters, scientists, painters, educators, etc. A solution could be to showcase poems, songs, manuscripts, video clips on community belief systems, and the like created by people from the immediate community to create a community spirit revolving around humanities and the social sciences using ICT. Such an ICT platform can provide the interface where local poets, teachers, students, senior citizens, and other residents from the community could positively participate in an event such as ‘going online’. Such digitalization of information about the community empowers everyone involved in putting up the site as a conduit of knowledge and creative expression, building on the knowledge, presenting all of them in a coherent manner, and assuming the responsibility for the creative expressive work are all part of the empowering process. Aside from such the website possible orexpansion of knowledge andcreating creative expression, interface can contribute in a common ground or forum. This will encourage mindsets wherein knowledge is appropriately processed. This knowledge can be applied to various concerns such as environment, health, and governance in an enlightened and effective manner resulting in a mutually agreeable and beneficial consensus for community actions. Now, ask the groups to discuss, research, and identify a local or regional cause or problem. Remind the group that they should also think about the value that their solution can contribute to the community.
