TikTok is a great tool for professionals to use!

Wait, what? Professionals use TikTok?

Yes. Well, they can… and they should!

TikTok is not all about fun dances and the latest challenges. Although these can be fun, TikTok is being used more frequently by professional people, and educators are jumping on board!

Educators can use TikTok to connect with other professionals!

There are so many educators joining and sharing content on TikTok that there is even a #TeacherTok (hashtag). To connect with other educators, accounts should try to share personal stories, advice, and ideas. Having a variety of content will bring other educators into your PLN to learn with and from you! Ideas about how to organize your classroom? Share it! Advice on how to implement formative assessment? Share it! The more the merrier.

Educators can use TikTok to engage their learners!

Educators can also share teaching content on TikTok, especially for older learners. A great educational TikTok will likely follow a TikTok trend (popular song, dance, etc.) that can be used in unison with information. This will get learners engaged and excited to learn!

All in all…

TikTok is a great educational tool. Professionals should keep their content just that… professional (and of course, educational).
