Class Dojo

Class Dojo is an app that can be used for classroom management and communication with parents.  I have been using the Class Dojo app for several years and our district encourages teachers to use.  I use it to communicate with parents.  I post class stories and different activities that are happening in the classroom.  I also send individual pictures to parents of their son or daughter.  Parents enjoy that and are always thanking me for great memories and pictures of their children.

For classroom management I love the little cute monsters because parents and children can create thier own profile.  I get to add points if a child is behaving and I can also deduct points if the student is not following rules.  Parents get immediate notification through their phone or email.  This year I had 85% of the class in Class Dojo.  One disadvantage was that in order to creat an account parents have to have an email.  Some parents didn't have one and I encourgaed parents to visit me so I was able to create an email account for them and set up their Class Dojo account. They loved it!

For daily notices that were send home I simply snapped a pic and sent it on Class Story.  The parents loved it!  There are so many great features that Class Dojo has.  I also was able to create a group for my UIL students and I was able to remind and communicate any practice changes.  I highly encourgage teachers to use this wonderful app.
