REFLECTION

            Another grading period is finished and we are again looking forward for the Third Grading Period. Second Grading Period was full of memorable and undeniably great experiences.

            I have gained and obtained a lot of learning and discoveries, likewise experiences which I will use to confront another chapter of my life. Our topic is mainly focused on HTML Tags and how to use the notepad. Honestly, I really enjoyed as well as challenged by this topic. We have finished 8 hands-on activities regarding the HTML Tags and at this time, I am really happy and thankful because Ma’am Evelyn shared to us her knowledge and learning about this very important topic. We have finished also 4 posts for our blog about our MODERN DAY HERO, TEACHER’S DAY CELEBRATION, Science Month Celebration and English Month Celebration. It is really fun expressing our thoughts and own perceptions about certain issues and topics through writing and posting with the help of Blogger.

            In HTML tags, I found some difficulties. I was a little bit confused because there were many characters and tags which we had to enter correctly. So, in order to overcome my problem, whenever Ma’am Evelyn discussed this, I just listened attentively so that I could understand and accomplish any activity successfully. Little by little, I was becoming capable in doing any hands-on activity about HTMPL Tags. Thanks to Ma’am Evelyn.

             Second Grading Period was great and very comfortable for me. Moving on, I will continue to strive hard, listen attentively and be disciplined enough.

PROMOTING DIGITAL LITERACY THROUGH ENGLISH PROFICIENCY

                In this time, we are living in a high-technology world that is of great help i8n contributing the modern comforts of life.

                The use of many high-tech and digital gadgets an d devices like computers, cellular phones and others is one contribution that modern technology is giving to us.  It enables us to communicate to others and share what we have and think, and even used by most of us especially the entrepreneurs for their businesses. But here on our school, we are using English Proficiency to promote digital literacy.

                Being a student or even to teachers, we must be competent and skilled enough in not only speaking, but also in listening, writing, and reading or comprehending English Language. Through these, we could possibly promote an ability to locate, organize, understand, evaluate and interpret information using digital technology—the Digital Literacy. It involves awareness and working knowledge of the latest high –technology, a clear education and understanding of how it can be used. Digitally literate people can communicate and work more efficiently, especially with those who possess the same ability and knowledge. In our school, we have this Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Subject for the Special Science and Math Classes and for the first 3 sections of the regular class (all year levels) and in here, we are mainly using computers for our classes and activities. This is a way also for us not only to apply our skills and knowledge in English Proficiency but also to use and understand these computers through the help of English Proficiency.

                English Proficiency really plays a big role in molding digitally literate people, for most of the digital devices are using English Language as their medium. English Proficiency is very important not only in promoting Digital Literacy but also in being a globally competitive and skilled person in English Language, that could be used in achieving progress for our country.
