Use with Caution!
Warning, some of the Bitmojis are definitely not school appropriate. If you are have students create Bitmojis, be thoughtful about how you are going to teach students what is appropriate for academic purposes.

Why Bitmoji?
Here are a few reasons from 10 Reasons To Like Bitmoji:

- 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/
