At present, Tik Tok is thought to be a threat to society. It is mainly because of the youngsters who have blindly been addicted to the new social media platform. However, Tik Tok, if used properly, can give a fillip to our children’s studies. The Tik Tok App created by a Chinese software developer Zhang Yiming is being used by over 800 million active users every month. Most teachers can be found to be using Tik Tok for educational purposes without distracting anyone from studies. Let’s see how we can use this App for our studies as well.
Studies
We can share video clips on Tik Tok for entertainment purposes and attract more people, transcending all boundaries. What if we use Tik Tok in our classrooms? Yes of course, we can make all students addicted to their academic activities.
Teachers can ask their students to create at least five-minute video clips containing what they had studied in the classroom. Indeed, this will stimulate children’s skills as well. If fifty students are allowed to create new video clips based on their studies, fifty unique ideas can emerge. In this manner, more ideas can be generated. Teachers should come out of the shell and see the outside world without getting confined to traditional teaching methods. Using social media platforms for educational purposes is not an offence.
Connects teachers and students
The Tik Tok app enables us to socialize with more people. If teachers can set up Tik Tok accounts for students, they can be linked with other schools and even with universities. However, we should not let students go astray. Therefore such accounts have to be monitored in order to ensure the quality of the content. Evidently, Tik Tok app can open more avenues for us to disseminate knowledge and engage students in academic activities. In addition, teachers can mutually share information through this App.
International community
Tik Tok enables you to reach the global audiences regardless of boundaries. Students can share unique educational Tik Tok clips with others so that they can reach the international community. Our university students can attract international universities by disseminating new knowledge with the world. We have talented students who can win the world. Indeed, such students should be encouraged to use Tik Tok as a platform to showcase their talents with the intention of broadening their horizons.
Complex lessons
Teachers can reinforce students’ understanding of complicated lessons through small Tik Tok clips because it is easy for teachers to attract students with the support of Tik Tok.
For instance, if you are a science teacher, you can teach some lessons by using Tik Tok clips in such a way students find your lessons to be very interesting. But sadly we are not using this app for the betterment of our lives.
Already, you are aware of the recent incidents related to cyber crimes. Most youngsters are using Tik Tok as a weapon to exploit the innocence of nubile girls. Some have even shared nude photos and videos on Tik Tok. It is evident that a certain level of education should be stipulated for Tik Tok users in the country. If not, Tik Tok will become a menace in our country.
