TikTok - Often Overlooked As a Learning Tool

Tiktok is a great app that can be used in the classroom, especially today with online learning. With a lack of engagement in the classroom virtually the teacher can use this app to get children excited about something they are learning. For example, teachers can create a classroom page and get all the children to join that page. On a daily or weekly basis teachers can ask students to make a fun video of what they took away from the lesson/week. This will keep children excited that they get to make a TikTok and will keep the students engaged in the classroom and more focused on what they are learning since they need it later on for the video. TikTok's are a great way to allow students to express themselves, allowing them to add in music of their choice, and use creativity such as dance, art. This app will also allow students to learn how to use technology better. Teachers can also use TikTok as a way to get information out there. If there is something that the teacher feels the students need in the future, the teacher can make a fun Tiktok for the students to watch, this can also allow students to better retain the information since it is delivered in a different way. 

Here is a great example of a teacher using this app to teach her students https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJEEaowL/
