How to Use Tik Tok in the Classroom
Tik Tok is a social media application that includes short videos that has risen in popularity within the past few years. The platform is used across many different countries and provides users with the opportunity to search through endless videos to find topics of interest. Tik Tok is a user-friendly video application that allows users to search for what they are interested in or even create their own videos! With that being said, there are thousands of educational videos on Tik Tok that can be used to enhance the overall learning experience. Using these videos will provide the educator with a simple way to make a classroom or virtual lesson more interactive and engaging. An educator's comfort with using technology may impact the extent to which Tik Tok is used but given how easy it is, many may find it simple to introduce to their lesson. Tik Tok can also be used in both primary and junior classrooms. Here are some great ways to use Youtube in the classroom:
Ask the students to make videos - the students will delight at the opportunity to make their own videos and submit to the teacher. This can be used in a lesson whereby students are asked to submit their final assignment through Tik Tok.
Follow accounts of interest - there are hundreds of thousands of videos on the topic of teaching. Educators are able to find accounts that feature tips, tricks and advice for fellow teachers.
Use Tik Tok as a reward - Tik Tok has a plethora of fun videos that may not be educational but they are engaging and put the students in a good mood. Educators can search for fun videos to use as a reward for when the students are behaving or modelling positive behaviour in the classroom.
Overall, Tik Tok is an effective tool to be used in the classroom and affords the teachers with countless opportunities to incorporate technology and get learners engaged.
