Do You Know About Secret Bitmoji's?

Did you know about Secret Bitmoji's? Well, I just stumbled over them this summer and WOW! Cool!

Are these new features or something we just missed? Since Bitmoji never talks to me -- and I've Tweeted and Instagrammed them over and over for years and nothing......I guess this is a new feature?

The ability to make a Bitmoji with just about any word.  I found this in the weirdest way, I was searching for a picture of an orchid -- because my Dad got my Mom & I orchid plants and I was asking how hers was faring. I found ALL these cartoons with the word Orchid -- but no pictures. Like why???? 


What was funny, it wasn't a cartoon of an orchid, it was just the word. I tried it again and got a different set of cartoons. 

 

Then I realized, wait..... it's just the word. I know, I'm slow sometimes - don't judge me. 

So of course I tried my name

See that little pencil on the top? That means it's going to write out what you put in!  

 There are also other handy Bitmoji's that you can find which make creating graphics for Education or school helpful. Type in Pose - and then you'll get a whole bunch of pictures or cartoons in different poses. or Circle - to get cartoons with circles behind you. 

 

All very cool for signage, blog posts, newsletters, and to annoy kids in Google presentations! LOL 

Remember, to easily download or save your Bitmoji - get the Chrome browser extension. 


When I discovered this, you know I did a Google search and found this great blog post to find even MORE SECRET Bitmoji's!!!

Personal stuff. 

Hello there! If you're a long time reader of this blog -- let me say first -- Thank you! But I hope you can understand that since Covid struck I've been just a little busy serving my community and kids virtually and getting ready for a school year unlike any other I've experienced. I've also been anxious, weirded out, exhausted, and not in the headspace to write a chatty blog. I've always said NEVER apologize for not blogging - just explaining. TBH Follow my Instagram for more posts. But not exactly daily, either! LOL

    This is a seriously cool way to up the "cool" factor to any part of the educational sphere we use in education! I did not know this, but I am so glad I learned this today.

Makerspace for Little or Nothing

Image
Makerspace for Little or Nothing You don't have to spend thousands of dollars to start a Makerspace area. You don't have to have a designated room or rip out bookcases. You can even have a Makerspace on a cart! When we have testing in our Library, I put all our Makerspace stuff on an AV cart and roll it into our server room.  This post evolved from a previous post called Makerspace Starter Kit Updated where I had some of these idea, but I felt that it deserved it's own expanded post. You can take baby steps into the Maker Movement.  I've been saying that for 7 years or so....long before I blogged about it, I tried it out. Yeah, sometimes I try things on the sly to see if they are blogworthy for you! Now....having said that..... WARNING: Controversial Opinion Ahead.  I'm not 100% sold, even after 7 years of talking about the Maker Movement, that it's something that's here to stay and not just a fad. Even though I've (without knowing it!)

Makerspace Starter Kit Updated

Image
Three years ago I shared my Makerspace Starter Kit with you or what I was buying to boost our Makerspace area using four empty Library study carrels that no longer held desktop Macs.  That post has consistently been one of the most viewed posts every week for years and years - with more than 83 THOUSAND views, gee whiz! (Crazy, right?) So, I thought maybe it was time to update it!*  Since then, I've had some major Makerspace successes and a couple dismal (and expensive) Makerspace failures!  So, here's the latest for ya'll with the good, the bad, and the bloody awful! Our MHMS Makerspace How it works: Kids can come in before the 1st period late bell rings, during lunch, or when they've finished their work in class to explore, craft, and create in the Library Media Center. It's not a "class" or an organized offering. It's a free form optional offering of constructivist learning and creativity! It's not as big as some and it hasn't tak

Curating the Happy for Your Future Self

Teacher Tip #112 Teacher Self-Care:  Create a Happy Folder In my School Library Media office desk I had a manilla folder where I carefully tucked all the hand written notes from kiddos & parents to read on a rainy day. I also SHAMELESSLY would first tape them to my office door (let the other teachers internally writhe with envy!)  Nah, really just to keep me motivated and also show the kiddos I appreciated their heartfelt little notes!  But.....before I tucked it away tenderly or taped it to my door, I took a picture of it and uploaded it to Flickr. A digital Happy Folder that pays back dividends of warm fuzzies and motivations for your future self.  Because, let's not kid ourselves, being an educator right now is HARD.  Start this habit NOW.  Don't be like me and wait 10 or 15 years. OK, some of that was because cell phones and digital cameras weren't as handy and as ubiquitous back then. But do your future self a favor, there will be days when you will need it.  Make
