Teacher Tech Tok: Seeking out opportunities for micro PD
Have you started to use TikTok? If not, give it a try (warning - it is addictive). This is the new trend sweeping the nation with many educators jumping on board.
On the blog DitchThatTextbook, Lindsay Zilly has written an excellent article over the benefits of using TikTok in the education world.
She first starts by explaining different viewpoints with regards to the app and then explains how she uses the ISTE standards to create her own content. Next, she provides a slideshow of educators she believes everyone should follow as they have great PD content.
Lindsay Zilly then goes further by showing how it can be used in the classroom safely and effectively. Her solution? Use a Google Slides template that mimics TikTok videos and have students use it to create their own. At the very bottom, Lindsay concludes by showing three other trends she has been playing with. These include: Snap & Chat, Jimmy Fallon, and Schitt’s Creek Chat.
