For this week’s Student Blogging Challenge, I chose to create a holiday themed emoji using coding. The site I used was called the Google Holiday Emoji Maker. I created an emoji of myself using coding blocks and variables.
I think that this is a very interesting idea, and a great way to use coding to complete simple tasks. However, I found the variables hard to understand since there were not really any instructions. When I went to type in the variables for where I wanted the eyes to be, they ended up not even showing on the screen which was confusing.
All in all, this is a fun and easy way to create a custom character for the holiday season and it’s an effective way to learn about the basics of coding as well.
G’day Maggie,
I haven’t done a lot of coding but it looks like you had fun. Love the string of lights around your neck.
Hi Maggie,
Great work with your avatar! You might be interested in looking at Erica’s blog. She is from Australia and tried out the same tool http://erical517.edublogs.org/2018/11/28/xmas-avatar/
I’m going to share your post in the week 9 STUBC post which will be published tomorrow!
Keep up your great work,
