Before seeing some of the educational sites on tik tok such as Nat Geo and the also various news outlets, I would have never considered it an educational tool. I always assumed it was just a tool that younger kids used to hide their dangerous games and challenges away from adults. I now see how it actually can be a reasonably good way to bridge the gap between the young and the old. The old being myself!! I would utilize it by doing a current event.  I enjoyed one skit where an actor was talking about the recent balloons that have been shot down. He played all the parts such as reporter, president, to give information in a more indirect way of what actually happened and in what states the objects where shot down. He played charades and although it seemed silly. I really remember much of the information about where the balloons where spotted. I instantly thought my students would probably like this. So I now see the Tik tok does have some educational value.
