Emojis and Google Docs
As the semester winds down or as you prepare for the start of second semester, consider doing a rebus story in Google Docs. A rebus is "a puzzle in which words are represented by combinations of pictures and individual letters; for instance, apex might be represented by a picture of an ape followed by a letter X."
Students are already doing this as they text each other, so try having them create a rebus using your content.
To create a rebus in Google Docs, first open a blank document. I would suggest having the students write their story first, then figure out which words they can replace with emojis.
To insert emojis into Google Docs select "Insert" then "special characters".
Think about using a rebus to have students demonstrate new learning, summarize a concept, or just for creative writing.

To find a correlating emoji, change the first dropdown to "emoji".
You can then search through the emojis by category, by using the keyword search, or by drawing a symbol.
