Class Dojo intregration
Class Dojo is a behavior tracking and reporting tool that can be used in any class at any grade level. Through the app on my iphone/ipad, I reward students with a positive point that aligns with our school goals. ClassDojo is the easiest way for teachers to encourage students, and share their best moments with parents. Teachers use ClassDojo as a communication platform to encourage students, and get parents engaged too.
Variations:
The teacher can verbally give the students a point or project them on a screen.
Teaching Suggestions/Tips:
Simple class login: No student account / password hassle! Sign up at ClassDojo.com and enter class rosters. I copied and pasted the excel spreadsheets from my school secretary.
