Community reviews for ClassDojo

Overall, this app is very well constructed and helpful for maintaining a positive classroom environment. The reflections and progress reports help this app maintain a higher status than other classroom management apps. They are very simple and easy for students to view. This app could be very helpful for a teacher who has a "moving" classroom where students are constantly moving around for a lesson or unit. It could also be beneficial and provide stability for a first year teacher.

This app is a great teaching tool for positive behavior in the classroom. I felt that it served the kids and myself by creating a positive classroom environment where learning was able to excel. You can open up the parent involvement too. Parents are able to see their child's points daily and communicate with the teacher too. You can also use this part as away to announce things to everyone as a whole like assignment dates or important information. It would be better if you could center the goals with individual student needs in mind.

I really enjoyed this product... like the ease to communicate with parents that would otherwise never have contact with.

ClassDojo is a quick and easy way for me to communicate the specific behavior of each child with his/her parents on a daily basis. I appreciate that I can phrase the behaviors to meet my specific needs. It's easy for parents to link their email and see the feedback.

I really like using Classroom Dojo as a way to motivate and engage my lowest third. The gamification and quantification of behaviors, which can be reset daily, create a level playing field for students of all levels. The monster avatars are fun and also create a uniquely level virtual world for my diverse learners. The positive sound effects (which go off every time a positive behavior is noted) keep students more focused throughout the class period. Overall, Classroom Dojo has helped me to create a positive culture in the classroom where positive behaviors are rewarded quantitatively, and through the pride of winning what feels to be a game. However, the negative points for negative behaviors have done little to improve my students' focus, engagement, and participation. Furthermore, Classroom Dojo is not a learning tool in it of itself, but a tool for creating a culture and environment to be able to learn.

Fantastic app and web tool! This is my fourth year using this tool and every year it gets better. My students are motivated and engaged by the instant feedback and it helps keep me consistent.

This is a great tool for the classroom for teachers, students, and parents. One downfall I have with this is that some parents do not have internet access at home and cannot check their child's ClassDojo regularly. The other thing is that if I have more than one class set up in ClassDojo and two students have the same name, if I make edits to a child's name, it changes all of those student's names. For example, I have two Elijah's. One likes to be called Eli so when I changed his name in one class, my Elijah in my other class changed to Eli as well. Overall, I would highly recommend this tool to improve behavior management.

I really like this program. It fills a need I have to keep track of my student's behavior. I also like the random call feature. Students enjoy seeing their avatars when I project this site on my board. I would like it better if there was an option to write an optional note to the student with each point. Overall I would recommend this to another teacher and I plan on using it again next year.

This is an amazing FREE tool for focusing the classroom on desired expectations! Also a great tool to communicate instantly with parents and keeps amazing records of behaviors.

The new updates to the app make it very easy to use. It is easy to take photos are send voice messages to parents.
