Welcome to The Dojo
What makes an amazing classroom? Is it having shiny new desks? Perhaps having the most colourful walls? Or maybe it is something you can't see. Maybe it's about the classroom community you build with students, teachers and parents. In a class where students all work together, persevere through challenges, and help each other out along the way—these moments should never go unnoticed! Introducing ClassDojo an amazing tech tool where you can celebrate these moments in class with your students and share with parents.
ClassDojo is an online behaviour management system intended to foster positive student behaviours and the overall classroom environment. This easy-to-use tech tool is fully accessible on computers, tablets, smartphones, and can even be used on interactive whiteboards and projectors. Each student is given a "monster" which they can personalize and anytime they display an important skill, like working hard or being creative, they are awarded "Dojo Points". Like anything in life, what is given can also be taken away. Students can lose points throughout the day if they fail to finish their homework, stay on task, etc.
ClassDojo allows teachers to gather more data about individual students and give them feedback nearly instantaneously. Teachers also have the ability to upload photos or videos to ClassDojo for parents to see! When parents are invited to your ClassDojo they are able to view reports, read and send messages, and view Story and Portfolio posts. You can also use ClassDojo to post homework reminders which will be available for students and parents to view. This tech tool truly offers a lot and best of all it's completely FREE!
