Listening to the discussions was hard. It's just that my attention span can't handle to only look at the screen, but also on random things. Until now I am still adapting this change. Regardless of that, I still learned many things. And it helped that our teacher is teaching us like we're just chatting face to face. It made me understand the important parts of the topics.
The first lesson that we had made me remember what we had learned in our grade 11 days. Because of that, I was kind of excited. Then there came the ever so famous media. It was interesting that media before were only cave carvings. But now it has evolved, and still evolving, that we can't live without it. Like how we can't walk without our feet. We even use media to study. Before, I know that media is broad, but I didn't think that it has more to offer. And being literate is important. To know and share reliable information, you must first understand it. Posting what we learned here in tumblr shows that we are all information, media, and technology literate. Speaking of posts, the post that I enjoyed making was the Conventions. As it made me think carefully of the conventions of a genre of the stories that I liked the most.
This quarter may be busy, I enjoyed it no matter the pressure that we felt. Because our teacher also cares for our well-beings. So I hope that next quarter, even though it will be busier, we will still experience peace and gain knowledge.
