A Bit Emoji-tional

10/17/2016

Emojis are all the rage right now. If you haven't noticed just take a walk around Walmart. Everything from jewelry to pillows!

🗣​ Emoji Defined:
A small digital image or icon used to express an idea, emotion, etc.,
​in electronic communication.

 And maybe you have used a few in your own electronic communications. 😃​  
There is something about these little images! 🤓🤐😍😉
Emoji in the classroom -- A "new" sticker for student's digital work
One of the memories I have from childhood is stickers! I loved stickers -- especially the scratch-and-sniff!! Truth be told I had a nice collection at one point. 
But how do you create the same experience with today's digital environment? 
Picture
Use when giving feedback! 
I love this idea from 
The Techie Teacher
and an example is on the left with a Google Slides project.

Use to add a little pizazz to folders like below. It also can make them easier to find!

Personalize the emoji-tion

​Take the idea of emojis a step further with Bitmoji and create a cartooned version of yourself. There is even a Chrome Extension for Bitmoji - see it here.

Bitmoji is a free account. The first initial personalization of your emoji could be time consuming. Decisions from hair, eye, jaw, nose, and more...and shapes to colors of each. But once you have your person, you have a library of virtual stickers to use (like the one to the left)!
And here is a great example from The Techie Teacher of using this personalized version with feedback (right). 

Note: Julie found that she couldn't insert the Bitmoji into the actual comment box, but she was able to drag and drop it right below (as shown on the right). 

Extra: Bitmojis are also available in Gmail for even more emoji fun.
