MIND MAP


     1)    Identify the different information about Manila Science High School.
o   The Manila Science High School (MSHS or MaSci for brevity) is the pilot science high school of the country. Patterned after the Bronx Science High School in New York, USA, MSHS was founded in 1963 with the graduation of the first Special Science Class spearheaded by Principal Augusto Alzona, regarded as the "Father of Manila Science High School."
Through the years, the school has produced graduates that have gone on to become leaders, influencers, decision makers and role models in their respective fields.
The tradition of excellence that has become synonymous to Manila Science High School continues to this day.

      2)    What are the possible sources of this information?
o   The most possible source is the internet with the use of search engines like Google; in this we can search anything we need to have the information. I have found the official website of the Manila Science High School which I think the data comes from the authorities of the school. This must be based from the history of the MaSci and the people who have known or work at the institution for a long time.


ESSAY
     a)    How do people find information that matches my needs?
→   Most sources conduct researches to find the information they need and we are the one who looks at it to match our needs with the help of search engines like Google and Yahoo, but some run surveys to ask people what they need to know.

     b)    How do I choose from the wide variety of information made available by different sources?
→   One of my ways is to find common information from several sources, and then I will use and understand it. Second way is choosing the most credible and reliable reference, and then focus on that site. Also when looking for information, we should use our prior knowledge to serve as a basis if the information given is cogent.


INDIGENOUS SOURCES (VIDEO INTERVIEW)
   
MARION NAVARRO (SSG-VP) (B & G SOCIAL STUDIES DEPT. HEAD)
  
Q1: What is your role in the school community?
Ate Marion: So my role in the school community is that I’m an SSG Vice President and right now official ako for boys and girls so na assign ako as department head for social studies.
Alyssa Llanto: Ano po yung information na responsible ka or information na narereceive mo at dinidisseminate mo sa school community? (What are the types of Information that you are responsible for and the information that you receive and pass on to the school community?)
Ate Marion: Ah so sa SSG sobrang daming info na dumadating hindi lang siya basta like financial statements sa ssg or announcements na dini disseminate ko pero kasi sa SSG meron kang inter-school communication na dumadaan sa inyo like contes. For example Up, La Salle na gusto nila iinvite yung school mine message nila yung SSG page na like gusto po namin kayong iinvite ganito po yung info and so type of information din yun. Another one is yung mga organization like Manila Youth Act Now and yung other organizations for education and kunyari types of disaster yung information na galing sa organization samin dumadaan yun so kami yung nag di disseminate sa student body sa admin na rin na ma’am ganito po yung info ayon sa organization etc. etc. Other than that mas nagfofocus din kami sa information like school based information kunyari may nagreport na student ire report namin sa admin para kami yung magiging bridge dun sa information. And so those are the types of information na gumagalaw sa ssg.
Ramon Montierro: How is the type of information that you handle helpful to the school community? In what ways does passing on this information help the school community?
Ate Marion: Okay, so isa sa major roles ng SSG talaga is to disseminate information and pass information to students so helpful siya in the school community kasi for example mayroong important agenda yung administration and they don’t have time to disseminate information anymore to students so role ng SSG yun na makarating yung information sa kanila and of course kung hindi makakarating yung information sa students so walang mangyayari walang progress na mangyayayari hindi mo alam yung activity na yun kasi walang mag tetake part dun sa activity na yun so it’s very  important na mapasa yung information na napupunta samin papunta  sa students and in that way nakakatulong kami sa continuous na growth and progress ng school and students na rin.
Julia Limos: How do you know that the information you pass on is true?
Ate Marion: Ahh okay, so bago kami mag announce or mag pass ng any information may rules kami dun or may regulations first kailangan ay galing siya sa isang official kunyari school official si Ma’am Nacion, Ma’am Insigne, Sir Bea, Ma’am Pascual, Ma’am Fuentes and Sir Cruz and Sir Baldoz. Sila yung mga major informants na kapag sinabi nila ah okay reliable source sila kasi nasa office sila eh admininistration sila another one uhm pwede lang ma pass out na information ay info na written so dapat may hardcopy ka ng information na yun hindi ka pwede mag announce na pasabi lang ganun ganun dapat may written communication kayo so kunyari nagkaroon ng reklamo na bakit ganun yung information na pinost niyo ganiyan so meron kang hawak na documentation na eto po yung sinabi nila ito yung information etc. and the third one  is dapat kailangan yung information navavalidate mo siya sa iba’t ibang sources kunyari nagkaroon ng miscommunication  ang sabi ng admin for example lang ang Christmas party ay 20, ang sabi ng teacher 21, sabi ng GPTA iba. So kailangang mag karoon ng consensus kung ano talaga yung totoo dun and ang may final say dun siyempre is si Ma’am Nacion.  So kung ano yung sasabihin niya automatic yun yung ipopost namin ganun kami mag verify ng information.
Alyssa Llanto: Last question po, Are these pieces of information available in popular media?
Ate Marion: So siyempre one of the major roles nga ng SSG is to disseminate information so kami yung naglalagay sa social media ng information na galing sa admin sa organization etc. Tapos kapag dumating samin yung info that’s raw info pa lang pwede sabihin in verbatim or letter yung dumarating samin and siyempre hindi kasi siya effective kapag linagay mo lang siya sa bulletin board or what so meron kaming twitter account and facebook page na dun namin nilalagay lahat ng information and as much as possible shineshare namin siya and sini spread sa students and meron rin silang batch groups yung mga batch reps so dun sila nag popost ng information  so yun yung mga social media or popular social medium na ginagamit namin.
Ramon Montierro: THANK YOU ATE!!!
Ate Marion: (thumbs up thumbs up)

“LANGUAGE IS A SOURCE OF MISUNDERSTANDING” – McLuhan,1964 Language is a form of communication that connects people but sometimes we have different interpretations of a particular message. Also there are language barriers like dialects, noise, and culture. We have ways to use our own language that’s why it can result to misunderstanding. Does the user’s/audience’s own background or experience affect the interpretation of messages? How? We use our schema or the prior knowledge to interpret messages that we received. We have a different experience that results to our beliefs and virtues that we use to understand and decode a message. Is it possible that a different individual derives a different meaning from the message? Explain. Yes, it is possible because as said above we have different experiences that we use to interpret a message.

CREDIT (11/23/17)

“KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!” Knowledge is every information, data, lessons, etc. we know within our life. We use this to act, decision, and function. It is the power we all have that no one can steal from us. If we have enough knowledge and open-mindedness, we can do great things and be a better person everyday. STATE THE IMPORTANCE OF GIVING CREDIT TO THE SOURCE OF ONE’S WORK First of all, it is respect to the hardwork and knowledge of the source. Also, this gives credibility to your work, it shows that you have a reliable source and that you really did research about the topic you are discussing. Bonus thing is that some readers or followers may read your work if you cite things from famous sources.
