我was wandering around Facebook recently and was surprised to discover the interest that educators were expressing in creating virtual, Bitmoji classrooms (and office and libraries and so much more). I had not heard of this resource before, but was interested to see what it was all about. So I joined theBitmojiCraze for Educators Facebook Group. Wow!!!!!
什么是bitmoji？
Bitmojiof @GwynethJones, the Daring Librarian
Bitmoji是一个个性化的卡通头像，可以出现在您的Facebook，Snapchat，Slack或G Suite工具中。您创建自己的卡通版本，可以为您的通信增添乐趣。当然，随着远程学习，随着专门的教育工作者为学生和自己创造虚拟世界，以使自己的生活和学习变得更加有价值。
您可以使用免费的Bitmoji应用程序, available for Android, Chrome, and iOS. Then you can go on to design your virtual space and furnish it with more choices available to download and use than you could ever possibly imagine.
Use of a Bitmoji in the Classroom
While having an avatar is certainly a lot of fun to create (I think of it as being similar to playing with paper dolls, but with technology!), it also has a TON of uses for learning in the classroom. You can decorate the classroom with virtual furnishings from rugs to bulletin boards to shelves of library books. Each item in the classroom can be linked to a video or audio recording or a website or activity. Thus, they become interactive centers for learning. Take a look at these examples below from WeAreTeachers:

Wonderful idea but by now their are so many Facebook groups on this topic, its unbelievable. Love the chance to join in and learn. This is so engaging and fun.
我attempted to register for the Bitmoji Classroom seminars, completed the form in its entirety, and received an ERROR message.
请建议如何进行注册 - 非TCEA成员。
错过了6月4日的第一个会议，是否会再次参加6月18日举行的第二届会议？
Colleen, it will not be offered again as a live webinar. However, you can still register for the second session on June 18 and receive the recording of the first session to get you started. Also, we will offer it as an online, self-paced course by the end of June.
自节奏课程将是多少？我已经通过我的地区进行了两个虚拟课程，并在6月份为区域课程做了另一项任务。
我t will be $29 and will include one year of membership in TCEA, normally a $49 fee.
我haven’t been opening my emails. Boy, have I missed a lot! How or where do I register for this?
我would love to receive both recordings or complete the self paced class-how do I sign up?
