Teachers across Canada are turning to social media platform TikTok to share everything from their daily experiences to learning tips and even their classroom outfits.
“We put on multiple hats a day. You’re a social worker one second and now you’re a problem solver. Now I’m just gonna be a teacher. But then I also have to be a therapist and a nurse sometimes,” she said. “It’s just very quick paced so there’s a whole bunch of things that happen even in the matter of five minutes.”
For Thanksgiving, Adams posted a “gratitude tree” she created at her school, which got more than 600,000 views on TikTok and became one of her most viral videos. The activity involved putting up paper leaves and asking students to write something they are grateful for, creating a tree display at the front of the school.Adams also posts videos reacting to other teachers’ fashion choices, discussing pranks on her students and how she decorates her classroom.
“It’s sharing our experiences: our wins, our challenges and next steps of what we can do to be better in the classroom and as people as well,” said Fong, who has been teaching elementary school for 12 years in Toronto. Fong said teaching is her calling, which inspired her online handle @mycalltoteach. She has more than 13,000 TikTok followers.
