Since the pandemic started, it is safe to say that we all deserve a good laugh. During our many unoccupied hours of quarantine, TikTok became an outlet that brought people from all around the world together through short, one-minute videos. It not only has become a huge source of entertainment, but it has also taught us new things and became an engaging platform that has launched users into newfound fame.
Teachers have been using this social platform as a way to connect with their students and other educators and many teachers have earned stardom through their accounts with millions of followers. The content that these teachers create will have you laughing, learning, and engaged as they follow along with popular trends such as dances and revealing teaching hacks.
