LUMPUR: The younger generation’s fondness of using social media applications such as TikTok, Instagram and YouTube to interact and share daily routines has inspired teachers to use these tools in conducting the home-based teaching and learning programme (PdPR).
These tools also keep students from feeling easily bored and unable to flex their limbs while attending sessions through applications such as Google Meet, Telegram and Zoom Meeting, which require them to just sit, listen, and occasionally interrupt when they do not understand something that is being taught.
Beginning last week, Norlida Muhd Pisol, 37, a teacher at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tuanku Lailatul Shahreen in Kangar, Perlis chose to use the TikTok application as one of the mediums to teach her history class.
