The Hannah & Lucy Show | TikTok, Educational Tool?

Hannah and Lucy are surviving not thriving as half term creeps closer and the rain refuses to stop. Between carnival costumes, classroom glue and a few dodgy dance moves they ask a big question. Is TikTok a help or a hindrance when we talk about learning. They weigh up what short clips can do well such as quick recall and catchy hooks that stick before an exam. They also push back on the idea that bite sized videos can replace real depth, research and proper guidance. Phones in school, laptops on trolleys in primary and a very different picture in secondary all come under the spotlight. Hannah’s supply adventures meet Lucy’s love of primary maths as they chat White Rose style thinking, place value and the myths we pass on to pupils.The pair dig into the rise of teacher creators and the line between classroom life and life online. Sponsorships, filming bans, school image and the pressure this puts on colleagues all get an honest airing. They ask who benefits when a post goes viral and who pays when budgets are already stretched.There is plenty of warmth and mischief too. Joy in teaching, edutainment done well, and the power of a shared sing along make a welcome return. Expect nods to school discos, nostalgic lyrics that read very differently now, and a few stories you will want to repeat in the staffroom.Stay for the candid chat about media literacy and why young people need better tools to spot bad information. Hear from friends of the show in the live chat, look ahead to a Room 101 special, and join the plan to bring more fun, care and humanity back into our classrooms.If you work in education, parent, or simply love a good natter about how we learn today, this one is for you. Brew in hand. Volume up. Joy reloaded.Follow us, we're worth it:🔗 Website🔗 Spotify🔗 Instagram🔗 Bluesky🔗 X (Twitter)#leadership #education #teacher #school #schoollife #inspiration #support #podcast #video
