This design framework is convenient in writing an article. As a campus journalist I know that it is more difficult to write if there is no outline. Failure to plan is planning to fail.

The teacher also grouped us and assigned each group to list one misconception on a topic. The topic assigned to us was Misconceptions on Information Literacy.

Our answer was: We thought that information literacy is just knowing how to use gadgets and their functions.

For me some misconceptions are:

·         Media Literacy – knowing how to use media politely

·         Information Literacy – knowing how to get information

·         Technology Literacy – learning to use gadgets

·         Media and Information Literacy – being responsible in using media and information
