OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT AND ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKE DURING THE PROJECT PERIOD

The Medsos Gamibook initiative involves indigenous students in exploratory literacy media focus on social media activities through six checkpoints. Initially, for the first and second checkpoint, students work in groups, progressing from a crossword puzzle with social media logos to exploring the functions of social media on an i-think map. After that, at the third checkpoint, they create a scrapbook showcasing their creativity, including an infographic on social media usage. Next, for the fourth checkpoint named The Simple Quest Adventure requires finding flashcards on social media pros and cons, meanwhile for the fifth checkpoint, a Google Chrome image search educates students on combating social media abuse. Lastly, the sixth checkpoint, a Social Media Savvy Quiz, combines digital gaming with social media knowledge. The program concludes with students crafting a puzzle image related to social media, decorating their scrapbooks within a set time frame. The overarching goal is to educate students on social media while fostering creativity and technological skills.

Lessons Learned

Strengths	Weaknesses
The Digital Economy Center (PEDI) has provided us with 20 computers, facilitating our digital gaming activities in line with the Medsos Gamibook program. This program provides indigenous people with indirect exposure to media literacy through experiential learning, boosting students' motivation and sparking their interest in the field.	Regarding the activity space, the constrained area for conducting the explorace activity results in students feeling uncomfortable. The shortfall in indigenous students is because the initial target for this program was 25 individuals. However, only 20 indigenous students attended.
Opportunities	Threats
We're partnering with prominent organizations like the Digital Economy Center (PEDI), aiming to gain valuable experience and create broader opportunities for future program implementation, we also learn how to communicate with community We enhance the social skills and critical thinking of indigenous students through activities, indirectly providing them with information through problem-solving learning related to media literacy	Barrier of language, indigenous students have their own language - facilitators sometimes not understand what their say Basic skills, such as reading, speaking and writing among indigenous students are still at a weak level, it influences the speed of how we deliver information to them.

Lessons Learned

Personal reflections
Nurul Izzah	During my experience in managing this program, I found that aspects of planning and coordination play an important role in achieving success. The initial stages, such as setting clear goals and planning a task schedule, help in ensuring that the entire process runs smoothly. I’m also realize literacy media skills still need to spread more to our community.
Nurdini Afifah	Before this program, I thought media literacy is easy to spread but after doing the program, i’m feel very grateful for being given a significant opportunity to manage a community program, especially among the indigenous people representing various ethnicities and share with them about literacy media. Now, i feel i need to do more to spread the awareness. Additionally, I am able to gain knowledge and experiences that I wouldn't have obtained elsewhere.
Puteri Asmiee	Engaging in program management has been meaningful, and I've identified key areas for improvement to enhance its effectiveness. Effective communication with all involved parties is crucial for success, as clear and timely information delivery can reduce confusion and increase engagement, particularly among indigenous students.
