Conclusion
TikTok may be used as an educational tool, but within limited limits, due to the
length of the videos. This application has advantages, but also disadvantages that
may predominate depending on the analytical ability of the person using the
application, but also depending on the content they want to view. TikTok is
currently an application for video content, intended for watching videos for fun.
Due to the large number of users this application may be used for the promotion
of products and / or service packages, the application being adopted for
marketing. From an educational point of view, it is limited, and the current
functionality of the application is not to favor the educational environment as a
whole. The important thing is that by using the application, either for an
educational purpose, or a marketing one or in other fields, its benefits should be
fully exploited, while its disadvantages should be minimized.
