A Grade 9 teacher from Sipalay City, Negros Occidental, added a twist to the class recitation by using an application that randomly selects names.
Recently, Adones Baylon, a Facebook user, shared a video of a creative twist to his class recitation to catch the attention of his students. The post quickly spread like wildfire on social media and garnered reactions from the online community.
Baylon posted the video showing his fun and engaging method in the classroom. He shared that he uses a mobile application that randomly picks students’ names during recitations.
According to him, this technique not only keeps students on their toes but also makes the class more interactive and exciting. He often incorporates games and creative tools into his lessons to maintain his students’ interest and focus during discussions.
“Malaking tulong ang app na ito para makinig sila nang mabuti dahil kung sila ang tatamaan, for sure, makakasagot sila,” Baylon said.
The grade 9 teacher explained that the app helps ensure students are paying attention, as they never know when their name will be picked. His strategy, motivates the students to stay alert and prepared, knowing that they might be called to answer any moment.
The post earns a lot of positive responses from social media users, many of whom recalled their own experiences with classroom recitations. Some shared memories of traditional methods, such as teachers randomly drawing names from index cards, which kept them nervous and on edge during their school days.
The educator’s innovative approach to class participation demonstrates how modern tools can be effectively used in education to keep students engaged.
