Gone are the days of boring school lessons and traditional modes of teaching. In the digital age, content creators are using content platforms to teach in a creative and fun way to quench your thirst for knowledge. Using a platform like TikTok, which is a very popular with over 200 million users, to break down difficult concepts in subjects like mathematics or English can help to increase student engagement and aid in the retention of information. Users are motivated to use TikTok as it is a truly inclusive and safe platform where everyone is encouraged to create videos irrespective of nationality, ethnicity, gender etc. Using the wide variety of music, filters, effects, and AR objects, the creators can elevate their videos to the next level.
The EduTok initiative of TikTok was launched in June 2019 and is aimed at encouraging TikTok users to create meaningful and relevant content on a variety of topics within the primary theme of education. Since its launch, TikTok has gained popularity with individual creators who have used it to upload academic videos to find interesting and creative ways to take boring classroom teaching and give it new meaning that will excite anyone and everyone to learn something new. As part of the program, TikTok has also collaborated with several edu-tech companies like Toppr and Grade Up to deliver subject-focused content for the platform that is available in various formats, across categories and languages to maximize outreach. The most popular subjects taught on TikTok are Maths, English, Geography, and General Knowledge. As on date, #EduTok has over 59 billion views. Here is a roundup of the popular videos you can check out:
