Anyone who follows Alice Keeler, the education technology guru, knows the power of Bitmoji for connecting and communicating with students. Bitmoji is a free mobile platform that allows your to turn yourself into a customizable cartoon avatar. With the addition of add-ons Bitmoji for iMessages, GBoard (Google's messages keyboard), and Bitmoji for Chrome, connecting with students  on a more personal level becomes even easier.

Sample Bitmoji uses in the classroom:
  • Teachers can insert Bitmojis into digital student work to provide feedback
  • Teachers and students can attach Bitmojis to digital communication to better convey correct emotions that may otherwise get lost or misconstrued in the digital environment
  • Teachers can use Bitmojis for classroom handouts and assignments to add another level of engagement
  • Students can create Bitmojis to add a layer of annotation while critical reading

In the February/March 2018 edition of CTA's Educator magazine, Terry Ng lays down a quick and easy set-up for leveling up your student connections with Bitmoji. Click here to get started with the new year and a new avatar.
