How to Create a Virtual Bitmoji Classroom in Google Slides or PowerPoint — Hello, Teacher Lady
If you want to create a Google Meet or Agenda slide like mine (or something similar), you can keep the default page dimensions and move onto Step 2. If you want to create a Google Classroom header, change the page dimensions to 1,000 x 250 pixels by going to File —> Page Setup in Google Slides or Design —> Page Setup in PowerPoint. Just a warning though: When you upload your banner on Google Classroom, you’ll get this frustrating dark overlay on your image. It’s an accessibility thing and can’t be changed, so just keep that in mind and try to keep everything as bright as possible. To create a custom Google homepage, you’ll want the dimensions somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 in x 8 in. Next step is to collect the images for your scene. For mine, I used posters from ECHO-LIT (my favorite poster shop) and a variety of Google Images.
Using Bitmojis in the Library - Lessons by Sandy
If you would have told me a few months ago that I would be using bitmojis in the Library, I’m not sure I would have believed you. I had created my bitmoji a while back, but then never really did anything with it. Then, after Spring Break I came across something that has changed my life! I don’t mean to be dramatic, but OH MY GOODNESS! In this crazy, stay-at-home-distance-learning-time, it has been one thing that has kept me sane and happy! The first thing I came across was Shannon Miller’s blog The Library Voice. and how she used bitmojis in the library. After I finished, reality hit! On that same blog post, Shannon also talked about using the same concept to create a fun Google Classroom banner. When we learned that we would NOT be going back to school for the rest of the year, my heart hurt so much! First, I used my bitmoji to create a title page for the YouTube Read-alouds I recorded for my kiddos. I also created a “Check out what I’ve read!” The ideas are too numerous to count!

Daily Agenda Slides: Write an overview of each day’s assignments on your classroom’s whiteboard. This gives students a single source to reference each day without having to scroll through the Stream or Classwork page. You can even link specific Google Classroom assignments so that when students click the link, it takes them to that specific assignment. I’ve been using daily agenda slides for years (not always the Bitmoji kind, but still), and my students have said they really appreciate having all the information for each day in one place. If you want to check out some of my non-Bitmoji Daily Agenda templates, click here. It’s actually surprisingly simple!
