Bitmojis are taking over the world…or at least it seems that way…and I’m glad because they make me really happy! So what’s a Bitmoji? It’s an avatar […]
Google’s Reverse Image Search

Innovate, Emulate, Duplicate…A Digital Citizenship Discussion
I’ve taught digital citizenship lessons to students for years. We talk about copyright, Creative Commons, citing the works of others, and giving credit where credit is due. I’m pretty confident that my former students are cognizant of these concepts as digital citizens.
