The Bitmoji Classroom is a very interesting tool. Basically, you design and build on online classroom where you can post links, worksheets, and other material for your students to complete. In my example, you will see links to an online bookshelf and an online drawing program. The idea is to help the student learn from their online space. Features include adding links like I mentioned, picking different backgrounds, adding your own bitmoji, and all kinds of items to add to your classroom. There's desks, chairs, posters, flexible seating; you can basically design it however you want. You can also make a couple different frames which I did not do. That way you could show even more of your classroom. The Bitmoji classroom fits in pretty well with Domain 1. Here we talk about knowledge of resources and knowing what is available to use and also how to use it. The bitmoji classroom is an excellent demonstration of our knowledge of online resources. First we have to know how to use Buncee to design our classroom. Then we have to find links to other websites and online programs that will make our online classroom interactive. We have to know how to use the Bitmoji app to create our likeness. This all also shows that we know of different ways we have of engaging students and making learning fun. I can use this tool in several ways. One is easy: for remote learning situations. Personally, remote learning unless it is homeschooling leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, and I hope I am never in this situation, but if I ever am, this would be a good tool to use. As a student who constantly left worksheets at school, this would be a good place to post homework for my students so that they can access it whenever they need to. My final idea would be to use it as some sort of project. It doesn't just have to be a classroom; on Buncee you can create all kinds of rooms. I could have my students create an interactive museum exhibit for history class, focusing on something we've learned. For fun they could design their dream house; or they could make their own "magic treehouse" after reading the Mary Pope Osborn series of the same name. I can see how I could definitely use this in my classroom someday. I like the idea of using it for projects and to let my students create what they want. I also like the idea of using it to be a homework central as well.
