Interactive Bitmoji Classroom Tutorial | Google Classroom and SeeSaw

[@ThomasBlakemore]

What are you looking forward to adding into your virtual classroom?

[@lizmacnamara8068]

I'm so looking forward to adding my interactive virtual classroom to my class on Monday. Hoping to have a link to the game Hit the Button and maybe a riddle section. Thnak you so much for you video.

[@ThomasBlakemore]

@@lizmacnamara8068 That's great. I LOVE hit the button!

[@k-okindergarten804]

Great work here Thomas. Thank you! I want to make my bitmoji talk/animate when students click on it. Can this be done?

[@kerryvanbreugel7451]

I was thinking along similar lines to Carina with a virtual tour. I have embedded videos but have to publish to web as I lose them when posting on Seesaw

[@ThomasBlakemore]

Talking Bitmoji tutorial?

[@bettinajung-drew890]

You are truly a wonderful. Not charging us teachers, but donating money to a foodbank. Thank you, Thomas

[@laurenmcmillan4201]

I loved this analogy "A bit like a rubbish version of Sims" :) A great user friendly video. Thank you.

[@geoffreyluce9254]

Hi Thomas---I am a 25 year veteran teacher in SF CA. Many of us feel like first year teachers with Distance Learning. I am really thankful for your videos to help many of us who have no where in our school districts to get this kind of help. May your teaching be blessed and your students are lucky to have you. Well Done!

[@kathyray1570]

You are very kind! Asking folks to pay it forward for using your resources. Bless you!

[@bettinajung-drew890]

You are truly wonderful. Not charging us teachers, but donating the money for a foodbank. Thanks Thomas

[@nicolekeller6930]

I watched 3 unhelpful videos before i found yours. Thank you so much!!! very detailed and to the point!!!

[@sethsims812]

Still unhelpful to me.

[@aaronbarragan8339]

Sharing your own virutal backrounds??? What a hero

[@ThomasBlakemore]

I try 😂

[@miriamramirez7232]

Thank you! I really appreciate your outlook on not charging, but promoting donations!

[@ThomasBlakemore]

Thanks for your kind words

[@karifield4147]

Thank you! I did not know what Bitmoji really was until now!! Can't wait to begin creation!

[@mariasepulveda7843]

LOVED. LOVED. LOVED your video! I was able to play, pause, and create alongside of you.

[@davidhodel7878]

Thanks, your students are lucky to have you as their teacher!

[@ThomasBlakemore]

Thank you

[@kristensmith7359]

You are awesome! I appreciate your videos. I've learned a lot and I love that you don't want to make money for what you do and instead mentioned giving to food banks. That is great!

[@bellaandaria3159]

I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, thank you so much for this video!

[@dianazarromartinez2976]

Thanks for your work and what you are doing to help our students in remote learning!

[@lisacaldwell8787]

Thank you Thomas! Very helpful resources, and thank you for your kindness and nobility.

[@turtle2009]

I use Seesaw and my students love it. This is brilliant and will definitely look more into this and will definitely start trying to use this. Thank you so much for all of the help and tutorials. Prayers and blessings ❤️🙏

[@laurendavenport8571]

I made mine today. It was too fun and I went nuts planting Easter Eggs for my seniors, hoping it will cheer them up! Thanks for the tutorial, it was easy!

[@laurarochon1886]

Thank you for taking the time create this. Canadian Teacher, teaching 19 years and now learning how to teach remotely. This is so helpful.

[@ThomasBlakemore]

Keep smashing it!

[@nondescript_memes5436]

Thanks for making online learning fun, my teacher MUST have used this tutorial, and it’s always fun waking up and looking at the agenda for the day!

[@ThomasBlakemore]

Such a wonderful message. Thank you 😁

[@lindsaylegere3545]

You are amazing. This was well done, easy to follow and the fact that you are giving resources for free or requesting people support a food bank is wonderful. The world needs more people like you!

[@akjoseph44]

What an absolutely selfless and wonderful lesson for you to share with all of us who now find ourselves attempting to build relationships with and educate at a distance. I appreciate your time and care in creating this lesson. My husband and I donate often within our community - our next donation will be made in your name. Thank you. Stay safe!

[@ebtesamalawa404]

my class loved it thank you so much...….you are truly kind teacher

[@Redtonto13]

Thank you very much! This is so fun for designing and mega looking forward to it. Have sat in endless lessons since September, so around 600-700 lessons I've been in and the continuous format, enter, follow RTL, AR Book, Starter, Main Activity, PowerPoint, Copy, Questions, Checking Question, End of Lesson, I've been in, I've been bluntly, bored shitless. And this is lesson after lesson. Lesson delivery is so far behind!

[@juliezamzow7563]

Thank you so very much! Your directions were very clear. I'm so excited to share this with my second graders!

[@brendal.3352]

Very Helpful. Thank you so much from the USA!

[@marydundas597]

Thank you, Thomas! Tomorrow is the first day of school for me, and I am hoping that my Bitmoji classroom will make school seem a bit less scary for my new kindergarteners! I appreciate your help, and have followed your wonderful suggestion of donating to my community's food bank . All the best from California!

[@sherriewilliams9492]

You are awesome and I love what you stand for. Thanks for this.

[@denisenassetta5134]

Mine turned out great! I'm so pleased. I have so many ideas running through my head on how to use this. (I'm the school librarian.) Thank you for the instructions on making my own.

[@Rohondolita]

Denise, I'm a librarian too. Please share ideas! Thanks!

[@yejidenelson-glenn3173]

Thank you so much, I am using this in lieu of a boring slide presentation to communicate with students. This was progressive.

[@memphisjess1]

Thank you for this! I am a high school counselor and virtual counseling has been a challenge. I am looking forward to starting the new year with a bitmoji google classroom, thanks to your help. I donate each month to our local food bank, and this month's donation will be in your honor. Best wishes. Cheers.

[@daireochs8640]

Greatful for you sharing, one of the best parts of being a teacher is the community!

[@ThomasBlakemore]

Absolutely

[@laurabrown9901]

Truth!

[@matcher8216]

Thank you so much! from one teacher to another, your video was very thorough and helpful in explaining how to incorporate your Virtual classroom into Google Classroom!!

[@ThomasBlakemore]

Glad you found it useful 😄

[@christineseip5050]

Lovely idea to have people donate to a food bank.

[@noralizaacain8899]

Thank you for your video tutorial in Interactive bitmoji classroom. I learned more.it has a great help for me.

[@joharris2183]

Very good video! Thank you for the step by step instructions and not going so fast!

[@rb8211]

You are so talented and generous! Thank you

[@caseyjozwiak3592]

Thank you so much for sharing your tutorial! It's wonderful of you to do this for free with the given circumstances the world is living in! May God bless you ten fold!

[@lisabentham6166]

Thanks so much for this. It's a great guide to what is completely new to me but I imagine I will be using virtual classrooms al the time now! Love your approach to this and thinking of others who can benefit from donations to foodbanks or other sources of support. Great video and great attitude. Thanks again.

[@ThomasBlakemore]

Always great to support other. Thanks for your support.

[@miriameterrell7585]

Thank you so much!!! This tech challenged 4th grade teacher in the US ( New Jersey to be exact) feels far more confident about planning for the next few weeks of virtual learning and having new skills to use in the classroom. I can't thank you enough.

[@rachelderr4692]

This was very helpful. I am a second grade teacher and a noob with online education. This looks like it will be fun to explore! I am going to add read alouds with my bitmoji on a bean bag and a variety of second grade fave books on a bookshelf along with a variety of online resources they access often like epic, fundations drill sounds, or the morning message. Keep up the great work with these very easy to understand tutorials!

[@MrsKathPW]

Thanks for such a comprehensive video tutorial, this will be very enticing for my Y4 class.

[@ThomasBlakemore]

More than welcome

[@marygross4408]

Contribution to charity...done! What an awesome idea to 'pay back'. Thank you!

Learning never stops! 😊

[@jessicamays2813]

Thomas, thank you very much for sharing your beautiful virtual classroom. What an amazing way to engage learners! Thank you for including not only an overview but also mini tutorials for creating this platform. Teachers who've never created a hyperlinked slide, doc, or other element could surely find success through this video!

[@ThomasBlakemore]

Thank you for the lovely message :)

[@chrisarmstrong624]

Your presentation was WONDERFUL! I've been teaching for many years and am now learning to teach online. Although I am not afraid of technology & use it frequently in my classroom, learning to teach online exclusively has been challenging. Thank you SO much for your tutorial. It has been extremely helpful.

[@ThomasBlakemore]

Thank you very much for taking the time to send such a kind message

[@juliesargent6111]

Great step by step directions!!! Thank you for putting this out there and allowing us to use your materials for FREE!!! Can't wait to get started.

[@VM-ll6fk]

Thank you for the Free templates. I'll donate to a foodbank. This is how teachers should share.

[@rlee496]

Thanks to all who freely share. I am often in tears at the kindness and generosity I have seen since the pandemic closed down our schools. I miss my kids more than I would ever admit to them.

[@annettealexander5709]

Great tutorial! Thank you for your generosity in giving rather than selling your tutorial and background slides. I appreciate that and will look for more of your tutorials. I've already recommended your tutorial to others!

[@Not_Jaxonvr]

Thank you!! I'm a school social worker and was asked to create a classroom for summer resources for our students as we are still not allowed in the schools- This helped me do it step by step very easily!!

[@MarthaGarcia-tr4oi]

Thank you so much! You make that look so easy. I appreciate your work very much and your sharing it, even more!!!

[@heathermurashige4973]

Definitely embracing the Bitmoji Classroom! I am an academic coach and would love to share this with teachers! Most of our teachers have been utilizing Google Classrooms and Google Slides so it would be quite seamless to include something like this. Bitmoji Classroom really breathes refreshing life to virtual learning!
