Student Virtual Room Tutorial à la Bitmoji Classroom

I’m finally getting to this post after months of enjoying the summer with my family after COVID-19 quarantine and learning/teaching from home. I wanted to share the Student Virtual Room project that my grade 4-6 classes did during remote “emergency learning” in June. We had done some amazing work in Media Literacy classes where students created video games using various online platforms (Scratch, Kahoot, Google Slides, etc). I wanted to give them a fun way to showcase their work and anything else they’d been up to while away from school. The Bitmoji Classrooms were such a big hit with educators that I wanted to give students the opportunity to give it a shot at creating their own virtual rooms and an outlet to share their work.

Student Virtual Room Tutorial à la Bitmoji Classroom

Since we were teaching from home I made the step-by-step video tutorial below for my students to follow along and get creative by building their own virtual rooms in Google Slides. You can also use the same tips to create your own Bitmoji Classroom if you’re an educator interested in doing so.

Bitmoji Classroom / Virtual Room Background Template

If you’re having trouble finding the right background for your Bitmoji classroom or virtual room check out this template (bit.ly/VRtemplate). Use the “Layouts” option at the top to choose from the variety of backgrounds I curated.

Examples of Virtual Rooms Created by Students

Below are some examples of the virtual rooms that my students made. I will share screenshots only to protect their privacy and personal school work that is linked in their virtual rooms.
