‘If you can’t beat them, join them.’ This is exactly what teachers are trying to do in an era where students are smitten with smartphones and social media applications such as TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Since the home-based teaching and learning (PdPR) system has become the norm now what with the COVID-19 pandemic showing no sign of abating yet, many teachers have jumped on the social media bandwagon to attract the attention of their students, even if it means having to be creative in their teaching methods.
