Is it politics at war, or do teachers have a right to ban TikTok in schools? As popularity for the social network grows increasing measures are being taken across the US education system.

TikTok, the social media platform known for its short-form, lip-sync, and comedy videos, has become increasingly popular among students and teachers in schools. However, the app’s association with China and concerns about data privacy have prompted some universities to ban it on their networks.
At the University of Iowa, TikTok was banned due to potential security risks and the possibility of the Chinese government accessing user data. The University of Arkansas also banned TikTok on its network, citing similar concerns. Other schools, such as the University of Wisconsin-Madison, have implemented partial bans, blocking the app on certain campus Wi-Fi networks but not on personal devices.
Despite the controversy surrounding TikTok, many teachers have found it to be a useful tool for classroom instruction. The app’s interactive features, such as the ability to add music and effects to videos, have allowed teachers to create engaging and creative lesson plans. For example, a high school history teacher in Texas used TikTok to bring historical events to life for her students, while a music teacher in Tennessee incorporated the app into her curriculum to teach rhythm and melody.
TikTok has also been utilized as a way to connect with students outside of the classroom. Some teachers have used the app to share homework assignments and important updates with their classes, while others have used it as a way to build a sense of community within their school.
Despite its potential benefits, TikTok’s association with China and data privacy concerns have led to a significant amount of backlash. In response to these concerns, TikTok has taken steps to address the issue by setting up a “transparency center” in the US, which will allow outside experts to review the app’s data collection practices.
In conclusion, TikTok has become a popular tool for teachers in schools, but its association with China and data privacy concerns have prompted some universities to ban it on their networks. While TikTok has taken steps to address these concerns, it remains to be seen how the app will be used in education in the future.
