In this week's episode "Using Humor, Pranks, and Modern Tools to Thrive in Teaching", I sit down with Kevin McClintock, aka Mr. McTikTok, to discuss the realities of teaching in today’s classrooms. We dive into the use of humor and pranks as tools for engagement, and how Kevin navigates classroom dynamics with both humor, pranks, and care. We even reflect on how public figures like RFK Jr. have displayed what I call “middle school behavior,” and draw parallels to some of the antics teachers face daily. We also explore how modern technology, like AI, can lighten the load for teachers, freeing them to focus on what really matters—building meaningful relationships with students. This episode is packed with laughs, insights, and tips for navigating the highs and lows of teaching.

Takeaways:

Pranks and humor can engage students, but managing them requires balance and understanding of generational differences in humor.

RFK Jr.’s “middle school behavior” serves as an example of how disruptive actions can shape classroom experiences, requiring patience and creativity from educators.

Modern tools like AI can support teachers in handling administrative tasks, allowing more time for student connection and classroom management.

Connecting with quiet, introverted students often requires intentionality, but those relationships can have lasting impacts.

The use of humor and pranks in the classroom can break the ice, but teachers need strategies to maintain control and ensure learning stays on track.
