Bitmojis—customizable, mini-me avatars that can be cast in an array of activities, such as reading, dancing gleefully, or even eating a sandwich—have caught the education community by storm.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
While some teachers have pushed back that Bitmojis are a cutesy distraction, when we reached out to more than 50 K–12 educators we found they’re being used in a surprising number of ways including bitmoji classrooms, libraries, makerspaces, PE rooms, and art classes.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cammie Duval, an elementary school teacher, created 29 Bitmoji libraries with themes like “Growth Mindset” and “Mad Scientist”—with each book linking to a video read-aloud.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Brittney Harvey, an elementary school-certified occupational therapist assistant, created an occupational therapy room for her students that links to resources like GoNoodle—a video library filled with gross motor exercises.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Jennifer LeBrun, an English as a second language teacher, used her Bitmoji classroom to host a unit on stereotypes for her high school students based on the viral TED Talk “The Danger of a Single Story."⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Sara Hannah, a kindergarten teacher, uses Bitmoji mostly as an engagement tactic and links to assignments, games, read-alouds, and short video lessons.⁣⁣
⁣
Tracey Burton, a pre-K–5 technology teacher, created a Bitmoji library that houses read-alouds of books about different races and cultures like ‘Mixed Me’ and ‘Too Many Tamales.’⁣⁣
⁣⁣
*We gathered links to many of their resources that you can download and customize for your own use. To download over 40 Bitmoji templates, click on the link in our bio.⁣⁣
