table, tell the learners to share their responses to the rest of the class. Groups can
assign reporters that can go around and simultaneously present to the other
groups.

Day 2:

 In what situations you encounter Iot in the Philippines?
  How do you think IoT will evolve and affect Filipino society in the next 3 to 5
years?
 What do you think is the relationship/cause and effect of IoT in media and
information literacy?
16. Have some learners share their answers with the class.

III. Closure
