12-01 Bitmoji Classroom


1. House Keeping

- Check Grades: I posted grades on eLC. Please check your grades and let me know if there are mistakes.

- Collaboration Guidebook: Address the comments/suggestions your pages of the Collaboration Guidebook. Embed the whole book to your portfolio.

- Portfolio: You have been building your portfolio website the whole semester, if you have posted every project along the way, you have no extra work to do. Your portfolio will be graded not be the content (because that's the grade of each project), but rather on whether you have enough pages posted there. Here is a checklist (you should have at least these webpages):

  • About (Bio)

  • Tool commercial project

  • Maker project

  • Genius hour project

  • Critical thinking (the mind map)

  • Data literacy project

  • Video production project

  • Online collaboration guidebook (the whole book)

  • Bitmoji classroom (the last project you'll be doing)

- Final due date: I will accept any updated assignment by Thursday, Dec 10th. I'll post final grade by Tuesday, Dec 15th.

- Bonus point for Course evaluation: You'll receive emails from the Shayla Lee about course evaluation in the next couple of days. It's very important for me to learn about your feedback to help me grow as an instructor. It's totally anonymous and I won't be able to see the report until the beginning of next semester. To earn a bonus point, you need to message/email me that you have done it. (PS. You'll receive reminder emails until you complete the evaluation or until the deadline for completing it.)




2. Bitmoji Classroom Project (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. Hopefully you have already read more details and watched some tutorials on your own (See resources below).

Brainstorming bitmoji

For now, let's switch to breakout rooms to brainstorm individual lists that reflect on what you’ve learned this semester (and that will be used for your bitmoji classroom). This list should include:

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

  • tools

  • projects

  • general knowledge about teaching and learning

  • technology’s role in teaching and learning

Take the list you created and 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.

Build your own bitmoji classroom

Your Bitmoji classroom is made up of two parts (both go on your "Bitmoji Classroom" page in your portfolio) and it’s due Tuesday, Dec 8th before class:

  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)
