When I saw educators posting their awesome Bitmoji Classrooms in March, I was in awe… but had no head space to try and create one. This week I’ve found some time and I’ve learned it’s really not hard. And I think will be so helpful!! Warning, it is addictive and will suck the time right out of a day. In a good way, though… b/c I think this is how I might teach/connect in the upcoming year. It is a learning curve and I am just at the start of that curve. I am excited! Here is my virtual office for the opening of school.
Check out this video below ⬇. This is what I watched and it takes you step by step how to create one on PPT. There are similar ones for Google on youtube.
And here is a GREAT video for how-to if you want to work with PPT
And there are some links I got off of the Elementary Counselor Exchange on FB. Remember, you can save a copy of other people’s slides and then erase their bitmoji and put yours!

Things I’ve found helpful: You can hyperlink not only to videos, but to other slides (aka it can lead you to a whole other room). In my room, click on anti racism or growth mindset and it should take you to another room. Cute puppies is a YouTube and the Meet the Counselor takes you to the counselor website.) You can do voice recordings and animation too.
Edit: Here is an updated version of my welcome classroom with 2 features people tend to ask like: The video intro and the hyperlinked referral form.
Also, it’s listed ablove, but check out a different way to use Bitmoji Classrooms for lessons. Here are 5 free bitmoji rooms that go along with my book Be Your Own Hero.
What else can I help you with??
I love sharing and helping educators… b/c we are all in it for the kiddos and there is not enough time in the day for all we need to do!
Hi!
I’m wondering how you shared your “classroom” with students?
In my district we have a platform that allows us to have digital classrooms within the homerooms. I posted the intro classroom in those “rooms”. That is where they can access the form to make an appt with me. I also have that classroom available on our school counselor blog for our school. The other content rooms… I am still working on how to push those out and make them the most user friendly. When I figure it out and look into it more, I will post info. Thanks for reaching out!
