Class Dojo

Source: www.classdojo.com

Description: Class Dojo is an online behavioral management for the classroom. It allows parents and students to access their behavior points from home. This site allows teachers to create categories that the students are rewarded for such as returning their homework, raising their hand, etc. They can also create categories for when they need to be buzzed. Examples include: talking out, being off task, etc. This source can be used throughout the day to help students stay on task.

Educational Uses: The way I would use it in the classroom is by having Class Dojo on my smart board (if available) and throughout the day, I would add points or remove points from students. By doing this, students can see where they are throughout the day.  It’s a great way to keep students on task. If they see their name get buzzed, they will know they need to get back on task.

Content Standards: No content standards fit this source because it’s strictly a behavioral management tool

Assessment: This source simply assesses your students strictly on their behavior. As a future teacher, I would use this site and keep my students behavior logged that way I can see growth with my students with their behavior.

Value of Class Dojo: Class Dojo is very easy to navigate through. In my opinion I think it’s great for teachers to use to help keep their students on task. It’s also great that parents can access their behavioral online. Parents get to see what their students are struggling with and what they’re excelling with. I definitely recommend this source!

Here’s an example of students with their points they have!
