TikTok itself has a stamp
They are contents in which only teachers or images of how questions are resolved on a blackboard appear. The format seems very suitable for bringing didactic material to young people who do not find interest in the classroom, but in this case, too, there are those who ask for prudence with these uses.
On the one hand, these contents are intended to be a complement, a reinforcement that helps students, but are they used in this way by minors? On the other hand, spending a lot of time on a social network may imply the risk of ending up visiting other types of accounts that do not have a pedagogical vocation.
In any case, there are teachers who give small short lessons that can help students better understand some points of the teaching subjects they face in their schools.
One of the most followed and celebrated is Teresa, better known as Your language teacher, who explains how to write correctly on her TikTok (more than a million followers) and YouTube accounts. She is a teacher with experience in elementary, middle and high school classes.
These are very short videos, with a certain sense of humor, in which the teacher, in a synthetic way, explains how to write. She even takes small sentences in which one of her followers makes a comment to correct her and explain why she writes herself in a certain way.
Also very charismatic is Carlos Maxi, a Galician teacher based in Mallorca, who, apart from his work at the head of his own academy, teaches mathematics in short videos for students of different levels of the subject, generally ESO. His account Learn Math is very followed. His videos are simple, with short explanations that tend to simplify the exercises that he solves on a white board behind him.
More elaborate from a technical point of view is the account How much do you know.14. Questionnaires of all kinds, also playful about knowledge about football games or teams, but in a good part of general culture and matter that is taught at different levels of education.
Another point of view is that of a Catalan teacher who prefers to remain anonymous in the media and who does not use TikTok in his classes. "I use the same language so that they learn or work on issues related to social networks, but to make them reflect, not to encourage them to use them," he says. Instead, he takes to Instagram and Twitter to address the teaching community.
TikTok itself has encouraged educational uses. The hashtag
In a note published last April, the platform believes that "it can be a key tool for carrying out educational innovations that increase student motivation and help them learn in a fun and different way."
According to data from this social network, 70% of TikTok users in Spain watch educational videos until the end, while 68% click "like", 54% watch the video they just watched again and another 48% save it in favorites.
