TikTok Ideas

If you haven't jumped onto the TikTok train, you might consider it. I know there are lots of reasons not to... but I want to look at a few reasons you might think about it. You don't have to create an account to browse, but you do if you want to save videos, share them, or create your own. Yes, TikTok does take data, along with Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. So... it is one of many... But... TikTok has become a place for me to get lots of new ideas that I don't get from the other areas of social media. Because they are short videos, teachers have been able to upload fast tutorials on how to create things and mainstream things so they are easier for digital learning (and classroom learning). There is also some wonderful not teacher creators who have shown me a lot. While I will be sharing what I've learned throughout my site, I thought I'd share some quick ideas here. To see some more in depth ideas, check out my digital classroom page. 

Creators I love!

  • @gerrybrooksprin - This is an elementary school principal who is just a lot of fun to follow :)
  • @nyledimarco_ - This is a Deaf creator! He shares lots of wonderful things on Deaf culture. 
  • @heyteachergidget - This teacher shares a lot of planning and digital tips and ideas!
  • @chrissycanthearyou - This is another Deaf creator who often teaches ASL through the app.
  • @mr_clidence - Another fun teacher to follow!
  • @myteacherface - the first teacher I followed on TikTok. She is great fun.
  • @notoriouscree - This is an indigenous creator! He shares a lot of wonderful history, culture, and resources
  • @heartofoccupation - This is an occupational therapist. A lot of what she shows can easily be adapted for the classroom.
  • @heyashleyg - This is a teacher who shares wonderful tutorials, templates, and ideas for digital teaching and resources!

My new favourite ideas

These are things I've been working on this week! 
  1. Digital Meet the Teacher - I learned this (and got the template) from @heyashleyg ! See my work here. 
  2. Digital Opinion Discussion - I learned this from @heyteachergidget and created my own version in Canva. You can see my work here. When using this I would place a question in the blackboard on the screen and they would agree or disagree. Clicking each button would take them to a padlet where they could voice their opinion and engage with each other. This would be a great way to connect students working at home and in the classroom. 
  3. Creating your own icons - This is just a fun way to organise your desktop. @heyashleyg has a great tutorial on it!
