Week 7! Wow! I have to say, when I signed up for this challenge, I remember scrolling through the tasks and finding ‘Emoji week,’ on there, and I couldn’t wait to write a post about it!

For week 7, I’ve chosen to do 2 tasks. First one: I’m choosing task #2, which is an Emoji Guessing Game. 

I also recently just installed an emoji keyboard extension to my Chromebook, so now I’ll have no trouble searching for emojis! Okay, see if you can guess this one:

🥵🌶🐶=. . . ?

Okay, fine, that was kind of easy. It was hot dog! Let’s go for a harder one this time?

😷👧💊💉=. . .?

This one is: coronavirus is making people sick! (. . .or, something like that. . . if you guessed something similar, I’ll give it to you!)

Let’s do a few more!

👉▶👧= You go girl!

🎉⏲= party time!

📞👆= call me

🐝🙊= Be quiet

I think that’s it for now. Most of the emoji sentences where made by me!

Okay now I’m going to give you task 4:  Emoji Art

I’m going to show you the emoji art I made on Canva, witch is a fun designing program.

I love making collages, the art of the overlap and turned. And then the letters over top makes it look more artistic, also. I used a blue background and then happy emojis in the background. Happy, meaning, positive. A unicorn at the top because magic and imagination can go a long way, especially at this time. You can see a speech bubble at the side because we also need to remember to stay social. A cactus because, why not? And that’s my Canva collage! If you want to check it out, click here.

How do you put Emojis on computers?

I’ve been tinkering around and here are some images and instructions to put emojis on Chromebooks, Macbook air, and Desktops.

CHROMEBOOKS

Right click on your Chrombook and at the top of the options bar there is an ‘Emoji’ option.

Then a key board should pop up and you can pick emojis! There might not be all of them there, but they have the most common ones.

MAC BOOK AIR

The answer is simple and involves three simple keystrokes from a MacBook keyboard: control + command + spacebar.

DESKTOP

 

• Right-click a blank area of the Windows Taskbar, then choose “Toolbars” > “Touch Keyboard“.
• Select the Touch Keyboard icon in the taskbar.
• Choose the smiley key, located toward the lower left portion of the keyboard.
• Select the Emoji to type it in a field

That was option 1. There are many other ways like downloading a plugin or copy and paste the emojis, also.   And that’s how you get emojis on different computers!

And to finish this post, here are some fun facts about emojis!!

 

 

👉 The laugh-till-i-cry emoji is the most popular ever. 😂

👉 Shigetaka Kurita was the first one to create emojis. And the first one ever was : ) or  🙂

👉 Shigetaka Kurita created the first emoji in 1999.

👉 The word “emoji” comes from emotions and is tied with a word in Japan.

👉 There are so many emojis! New ones come every year. Currently, there are 3,019 emojis used every day!

👉 Here’s a cool emoji tracker that was one the Student Blogging Challenge home page!: http://www.emojitracker.com/

 

And that’s emoji week! I hope you guys enjoy writing the fun posts about emojis! 😆
