I would say that in order to create a successful professional TikTok you need 2 things.

1. to share an important message
2. have fun

TikTok is a platform with an audience that seeks entertainment but also has a short attention span. I say this because of the short length of the videos. With that being said, it is essential to pull the viewer in with elements of fun (music, dancing, acting, etc.) and then keep them there with clear and concise information. Moreover, beyond simply posting videos it is important to engage in the teacher community by commenting and responding to fellow users on the platform. By doing this, you are not only learning from fellow creators but expanding your PLN at the same time.

Here are 3 education-themed blogs that I recommend checking out!

Blog 1 – https://www.trevormackenzie.com/posts

This is Trevor Mackenzie’s blog. Trevor Mackenzie is a BC educator with a passion for Inquiry-Based education. He has been a trail-blazer in modernizing education and sharing his wisdom of Inquiry with other educators. In his blog, Mackenzie shares his current ways of sharing the Inquiry-Based mindset and how to get involved in the education community.

Blog 2 – https://inclusionbc.org/blog/

This blog is from Inclusion BC. It shares up-to-date information and resources in relation to inclusive teaching in BC. As a pre-service teacher, I find it intimidating but also exciting and essential to meet the needs of all my students. By following blogs like this and hearing about people’s experiences in the education space, I will be able to learn about how I can better adjust my practice to welcome all people into my classroom.

Blog 3 – https://luudisk.com/

This is Jo Chrona’s blog. Jo Chrona is an education consultant, speaker, and author, supporting professional learning opportunities in Indigenous education and anti-racism. As a pre-service teacher looking ahead to my career in the field, I know that I have a lot of unlearning to do when it comes to what/how I was taught in school growing up compared to what/how I want to teach my students going forward. With that, Jo Chrona’s blog is a must-follow. She posts insightful posts from her perspective as an indigenous person that inspire me to rethink what I want my classroom to look/sound/feel like.
