(Aymelek.art)                    FATIH    Hello Maria, how are you? Are you still involved                                                                 in eTwinning projects?

(Inderpreet and Mattia)   MARIA  Hi Fatih, I'm fine, yes I'm interested in                                                                 eTwinning project, DIGITAL POWER OF ME. And you? 

Characters: Maria     Fatih     Ahmet Bilen

(Zeliha.art)            FATIH  I participated in a new project with digital content, and I                                                   am collecting information about it.

(Mehmet)         FATIH       Disinformation is information published intentionally

                                             and its accuracy or falsehood is unknown.

(Simone and Andrea)    MARIA  I also found some of them.   How can I protect                                                                     myself from misinformation?

(İkra)            FATIH    I was thinking about doing research on this. If you want, we can                                       do research together. I think we can get/reach the necessary                                          information from experts in the field or from a library.

(Miriam and Benedetta)  MARIA  It's a good idea and i want partecipate to it. 

(Ahmet)  FATIH    Let me get help from experts in my own country, you can                                                  get help from experts in your own country, so we can have                                                 a lot of information about this issue in two different                                                           countries, as well as up to date information.

 (Sude art)      MARIA  Ah that's great! 

(Claudia Rizzaro)   NARRATOR     In this point, Fatih and Maria contact with an                                                                         expert in a chatroom or in videochat.

( Nuri)     FATIH      Hello, dear information technologies expert Ahmet Bilen. My                                            friend Maria and I are doing research about media and                                                      digital media and we will ask you a few questions about that.

(Hüseyin ÇETİN)  Ahmet BİLEN  Of course, guys, you can ask what you have in mind.

(Zeliha.art)          MARIA  How can we trust that the information we get while doing                                               research on the internet?

(Zehra.art)   Ahmet BİLEN  Not all information on the internet is correct. Because                                                        there are thousands of sites, pages and blogs on the                                                          internet. Anyone can easily open a blog or forum and                                                         write something in the world.

(Nuri)      FATIH    This is a highly dangerous situation. What can we do to avoid this                                    situation?              

(Hüseyin ÇETİN)  Ahmet BİLEN      Who prepared the article you are reading? What                    are their sources? Is it safe? These three questions are very important.                           You should not follow every site except for certain media organizations.                         You should pay attention to the time and date of the news. Be careful                             with exaggerated titles and content. Also be careful if the address bar of                      a site you enter starts with http as secure sites always starts with http.

(Zeliha.art)           MARIA  This information you provided enlightened us. Thank you.

(Fatma Zehra BAŞIBÜYÜK)     NARRATOR  Fatih and Maria decided to continue                                                                        their studies, as they received expert advice.

(Zeliha.art)   FATIH   Let's make a public spot video that will satisfy the curiosity                                               of curious children like us and raise the awareness of other                                                people, what do you say Maria? In this way, we prevent                                                       many false information that may take place in the media.

(Nuri)  MARIA  Fatih, this is a great idea, of course I would like to do it. In this                                 way, we prevent many false information that may take place in the media.

Narrator

(Aycan UYSAL)      Fatih     The media has a lot of positive qualities, isn't it, Maria?

(Elifirem.md)        Maria     Yes, you are right, Fatih. Come on, how about making a                                                     public spot about this?

(Batuhan.çatalarık)   Fatih      Great idea! I have a relative in TRT. Mrs.Satı. Let's                                                               consult her.

(İlayda.my)            Maria    Oh this is a super idea. What is the mission of Mrs Sati?                                                     She can give us information on this subject.

(Beril. Çatalarık)   Fatih      She works as a media consultant in TRT. I am sure it will                                                    enlighten us.

(Kürşat.md)          Fatih      I'll get in touch immediately.

(Hakan ÖLMEZ)      Narrator  Fatih meets with Mrs. Satı, makes an appointment                                                              and plans an online interview.

(ceylin.ÇATALARIK)  Maria    Welcome Mrs. Satı. Fatih and I want to prepare a public post on the positive aspects of the media. Can you enlighten us on this issue?

(Dilara md)       Satı    Hi children. It is very valuable to do research on such an                                                     important subject and want to inform people about it. I                                                      congratulate you. It is also my great pleasure to assist you.

(Zehra my)        Satı    Media is a powerful communication tool.It allows us to get                                               news from instant events all over the world.

(Beril. Çatalarık)      Fatih  You are absolutely right. It also contributes to                                                             education. For example, I can re-learn lessons from                                                    the media that I didn't understand or missed.

(ceylin.ÇATALARIK)   Maria    Quite right, we can also organize the masses in a                                                       positive way.

(Kadir)               Satı    You guys already knew them. Documentaries on many                                             subjects are published. You can follow them carefully. By                                           paying attention to copyrights on legal grounds, you can                                          get permission from the relevant persons and use them.  

(Şefika.Çatalatık)       Fatih      Thank you very much, Mrs Satı. You have given                                                           us a lot of valuable information. We can use it to                                                        create our public spot. Right, Maria?

(Oktay Çilingir)     Maria           Why not? This information will shed light on our                                                         work. Thank you very much Mrs. Satı.

(Aycan UYSAL)      Narrator     Therefore the children started to work.

TEAM 3

 (Ayşe YILDIRIM) Narrator Fatih and Maria gathered information about the positive                                              aspects and beneficial aspects of the media and digital                                                      media by consulting experts, but they also started to                                                           research on the negative aspects.

(Sena)  Maria:   Fatih, we learned the benefits of media and digital media with this                                information. Besides, you know that there are many negative                                            aspects as well. We hear it in the news almost every day, we see it                                   from our environment.

(Elif Ela) Fatih: Yes Maria, you are very right. In terms of security, cyber-attacks                                       affect all of us individually and cause negativity in the digital                                           environment of large government institutions and companies.

(Burçak)  Maria: Malicious people can do this in the internet environment. They                                        make virus software and all people as a society are victimized.

(Nil) Fatih: My password was recently stolen on social media. The person who stole                      my password requested money from all the people on my friends list. I                         made the announcement. They helped me a lot.

(Anıl) Maria: Aaaaaaa! Look what came to my mind, Fatih, we should also                                            investigate such negativities of digital media, and we should definitely                            include these issues in the video we will prepare.
