Why #BookSnap?
How the heck do you do it?
Lots of ways to do it and lots of apps and platforms you can use. (Check out Tara Martin’s website for tutorials)
Today I will focus on how to do it using Google Slides and Bitmoji
Step 2:
take a picture of the text
Step 3:
Highlight the text you want to share
Step 4:
add your
Bitmoji
Bitmoji is an extension in Chrome that allows you to add in transparent Bitmojis
If Bitmoji extension is blocked in your school account...save a copy of the desired Bitmoji to your camera roll and upload it to your google Drive. If you do it this way, it is not transparent but you can crop it to make it work.
Step 7:
Share your learning
on Twitter

Being Canadian can mean so many things and is different for every Canadian. It can be the icons we think about (like the flag or a mouse), it can be a feeling, it can be all the things we love to do!
