Still loving these Bitmoji-themed libraries because they allow me to share some great reads and activities in a theme (I adore a theme). This Thanksgiving and friendship themed room has a vrspot link for the YouTube videos because that is helpful for most of the teacher friends that use these.

Recently I was sharing google keep ideas with some teacher friends, including sharing lists with students to help keep them on track (pun intended). Then I realized I hadn’t shared specific book recommendations via keep with students. I thought about how meaningful it could be for them if educators took the time to curate a special, individualized book recommendation with them! You could include links, but I just made a short list for a train fan as my first try. I edited my keep header slide to include my bitmoji so they would know that it was a book recommendation note from me right away. I would then add them as a collaborator so they could see and edit the list. You could even make a list of what you are reading in a specific genre and share that as needed… ideas are aplenty!
Click here to edit a slide as your own keep note header, see this blog post to guide you for adding headers to your keep notes.
With back to school here, sometimes docs need to have a little slice of your class theme or personalization with your bitmoji! I used google drawings to create a few different headers for my docs. Along with changing the doc background color, I thought personalized headers would be another way to make students feel the excitement and sense of community for back to school. The doc below has a color that isn’t glaring white, which some readers prefer, and would be a good background color for some math graphs or images.
The drawing is transparent, so any color can work with it. To see another sample doc click here. Just create your drawing as you like and insert it as a header. I also customized the drawing size to be about 3 inches in height and cropped as needed.
