Community reviews for ClassDojo

This is an awesome tool for helping students build better behavioral traits. It helps make them accountable for their choices and actions with daily charting, and daily and weekly results. Parents are also able to see their child's progress by logging on to their personal account set up by the teacher. Class DoJo is a valuable tool for any classroom

I like it because it is quick and easy. It does not require wall space and it can now be used across the school. The art teacher can see my class and inform me of their behaviors. Parents can also check how their child is behaving at any time and send me messages through the app.

ClassDojo needs to be displayed on a screen or Smartboard to be most effective. Students can visually see who received or lost a point in real-time. A bell also signals a student and class when a point was given or deleted. However, after several weeks the effectiveness and novelty of the tool seemed to wear off on the students. Additionally, the teacher needs to be cognizant of projecting the program on the screen which displaces the opportunity to use the screen for other purposes. All in all, an engaging tool for younger students, but it will become tarnished quickly becoming ineffective.

I like the interface. It's fun and engaging. This tool can be a distraction as well though. It all depends on how the teacher chooses to implement. May be difficult for kids to focus on learning and content while sounds are being played so be aware of the sound features. I have also heard of teachers that have their parents connected and hear from the parents right away if a student loses points during the school day. Overall though, teachers and kids love the tool and it has worked well for them.

The avatars, sounds and strategies definitely engage students and truly WORK in a structured classroom setting. I recommend the upper level teacher give this app more than simply a cursory glance. Although the 'monsters' seem juvenile, the app has the flexibility to customize avatars (sports team logos, student pics, etc). I found the app limited from a data perspective. Although you can print and forward data, I would like it to have the ability to export the data into a spreadsheet.

This is a great tool to use in the classroom for behavior management. You can add as many behaviors (positive and negative) as you would like. I like that you can focus more on the positive behaviors and engage those hard workers, and it helps push those students that can go either way to work a little harder to earn a point. It is relatively easy to add a class, especially if you have a document with students names already made. It also creates class and individual data, which is extremely important in helping monitoring student behavior. It also creates log-ins for students, so they or his/her families can log-in and see how they are doing.

Allows students to see "how they are doing"

I have found this tool to be amazing and super easy to use. I like that this App can be used on all devices and it is in real time. It makes communicating with parents super easy and actually fun! My students and I use this App daily and parents have enjoyed having the feedback right away.

I love ClassDojo because it is an interactive classroom management tool. It easily integrates technology into your class. It is so much fun compared to the stop light tools that most elementary teachers have hanging in their classrooms.

ClassDojo is simple to use. You set up a class, or classes. Each class has avatars assigned for each of your students. Once your class is set up, you have the ability to award points, affectionately known as "dojos" in my classroom, for positive or negative behavior. You can award individual or multiple students. The app comes with a list of behaviors, but you can create your own list. ClassDojo can be used with your interactive whiteboard, laptops, desktops or smart phones. Students get immediate feedback to their behavior by the distinctive sound made when their avatar is clicked. Students enjoyed earning positive dojo points!
