Why I Created This Guide

Hi, I’m Pinky T. Paculanang.

For years, I faced what you’re facing now:

Black screens.

Silent mics.

That heavy, sinking feeling of talking into the void, wondering if anyone was even there.

But out of that struggle, I found something powerful.


I developed the Micro-Interaction Method—a collection of small, intentional strategies that spark connection, melt resistance, and breathe energy into even the quietest class.

Now, I’ve made it my mission to share this with teachers like you—so you don’t just survive your lessons, but feel energized, connected, and in control.
