The Bitmoji crazy has taken the country by storm since the pandemic hit and schools were all forced online. Teachers got inventive with Bitmoji classrooms, Bitmoji lockers, and a wealth of other Bitmoji activities including virtual field trips, Flat Stanleys, and more. They’ve started inviting their students to participate and create their own Bitmoji characters, but some teachers are running into a concern … Bitmoji requires you to download an app.
We took this issue to heart and researched other ways for students to create virtual versions of themselves. Check out our list of app-free alternatives to Bitmoji!
Pixton
Pixton came up several times in our WeAreTeachers HELPLINE Facebook group as an option. Teachers can set up a class code and send it to students to sign up for an account. While this does require a login, it does not require them to download an app anywhere. The entire program is online and allows students to create custom comic characters. Take it a step further and assign comic book development to your students.
