3. Bitmoji Classroom (individual project)

What is a bitmoji classroom?

Bitmoji classroom has become popular during the pandemic when classes went virtual. Teachers try to create virtual classroom that somehow resembles a tangible classroom to engage their students. In a nutshell, bitmoji classroom are virtual classroom setups built in Google Slides or Powerpoint using multimedia elements.

Build your own bitmoji classroom

First, reflect on what you’ve learned in our course this semester in the following aspects:

  • information from readings (meaningful learning, UDL, ISTE standards, etc.)

  • tools

  • projects

  • general knowledge about teaching and learning

  • technology’s role in teaching and learning

Second, start thinking about what type of classroom you would create based on what you’ve learned, jot down some ideas of the types of activities students would do, tools you would use, etc. Try to imagine yourself in that classroom.

Third, your Bitmoji classroom is made up of two parts (both go on your "Bitmoji Classroom" page in your portfolio):

  1. Detailed classroom layout in Google Slides – inserted onto your "Bitmoji Classroom" webpage. The layout should show at least one side of the classroom with furniture, materials, etc. that link to additional information of what is happening in your classroom.

  2. 3-5 paragraph description of what your classroom is like. The description should not only describe/explain the image you created, it should also demonstrate an understanding of the concepts addressed in our course related to meaningful learning with technology, universal design for learning, and technology’s role in teaching and learning. This description can be written in any one of the following ways:

    1. simple, detailed description

    2. letter to parents or students to introduce them to your classroom

    3. a “day in the life” description from the teacher’s perspective

    4. any other format that makes the most sense to you (you could record audio and embed it in your google slide if you prefer to narrate your description)
