A Bronx teacher is
using TikTok to help her students succeed.
Nicole Lehocsky
knows how hard it is to keep children’s attention over Zoom.
She decided to use
TikTok to reel them in.
“I’m using it to
try to get my students’ attention,” Lehocsky says. “I do short mini video
lessons for them.”
Lehocsky says she
does funny things that stand out in her students’ minds and that they look
forward to seeing what video she is going to post next.
The Rockland
woman, who teaches in the Bronx, says her students are participating more now.
“Fourth grade,
elementary school, middle school, they’re all interested in TikTok,” Lehocsky
says.
In just over a
year, the teacher went from a few followers to over 18,000.
“If honestly I
just reached out student, I would be happy,” Lehocsky says. “18,000 is
amazing.”
Lehocsky says if she gets 25,000 followers,
she’ll dye her hair blue.
