Tech Tip Tuesday #4

Inline image 1

This week is all about Bitmojis

These are the super fun personal emojis a few of you have asked me about. Students know and love Bitmoji due to their recent integration with Snapchat. I like to use Bitmoji to put add a fun personal touch to my "digital products" (emails, presentations, Schoology, etc.).

Why Bitmoji?
Here are a few reasons from 10 Reasons To Like Bitmoji:
- Creating your avatar is simple and easy.
- It brings joy and smiles all around.
- We live in a visually-enhanced world.
- It's a great way to connect to your teens.

How to Get Your Bitmoji:
1. Download the app to your phone from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. OR get Bitmoji for Chrome by visiting the website here: https://www.bitmoji.com/.
2. Walk through the steps to create your account and your Bitmoji. (I highly recommend having a friend nearby to help you pick out the perfect eyebrows. It's extremely customizable. Read more here: Why Your Bitmoji Looks So Much Like Your Actual Face.)
3. Play around with it! I use Bitmoji for Chrome to easily insert my Bitmojis into Google Products and into Schoology.
