TEACHER USES VIDEOS TO MAKE LEARNING MORE FUN
SOMETIMES, adversity drives a person to find ways to perform his or her tasks better.
By being creative, John Paul Lauaña, a teacher from the Diosdado Macapagal Elementary School, was able to teach his students better and in a fun way.
Lauaña thought of coming up with educational videos for his students which he uploaded in his social media accounts.
His videos discuss lessons in English, Math and Science in a practical and enjoyable manner.
These videos not only made learning more exciting to his students, they also aid parents in teaching their children.
“Simula’t sapul po nung naging teacher ako isa lang po ang inspirasyon ko sa pagtuturo — ‘yung mga bata. At sabi ko po sa sarili ko ‘yung pagtuturo ito po ‘yung ambag sa mga pangarap nila,” John Paul said.
“Ngayong panahon ng pandemya medyo hopeless po ‘yung mga tao, ang dami pong mga pangarap, ang daming mga planong naudlot pero ‘yung sabi ko sa sarili ko ‘yung ambag ko ay hindi po puwedeng maudlot dahil pangarap ko pong maging mabuti at magaling na tao itong mga estudyante ko at sa tingin ko po hindi sila magiging mabuti at magaling kung ako pong mismong guro nila ay hindi po sinusubukan na maging mabuti at magaling. Kaya po kahit sobrang hirap magturo ngayong panahon ng pandemya ay sinusubukan po nating matuto, sinusubukan po natin na makapag-adapt para tuloy-tuloy po ‘yung pangarap ng mga bata,” he added.
John Paul also holds short seminars for parents to guide them in teaching their children at home.
“Kaming mga teachers nag-iisip po kami ng iba’t ibang pamamaraan, nag-i-innovate po kami para maging enjoyable pa rin ang mga lessons dahil po kapag na-e-enjoy ng mga bata ang kanilang pag-aaral mas nagiging meaningful and relevant po ito para sa kanila. We exhaust all possible means para po mag-enjoy ang mga bata sa kanilang pag-aaral,” he said.
