The article “Why Teachers Love ClassDojo”
gives a quick overview of what ClassDojo is and how it works. ClassDojo
is online classroom management tool for teachers to track student
behavior. Teachers set up an online classroom and assign each of
their students an avatar. Teachers can reinforce positive behavior
by rewarding students points and/or deduct points for undesired behavior. The
students are notified why they were awarded or deducted a point.
The article then highlights 3 benefits of integrating ClassDojo into the
classroom.
1. Improve
Behavior- According to the article, student behavior improves due to the
motivation to earn points. When a point is earned, they are informed
the reason for their point. Students enjoy being noticed and
recognized by their teacher for positive behavior.
2. Save
Time- Instructional time increases because the program allows
teachers the ability to track and record student behavior in quick
manner. Students also transition quicker because they are motivated
to be recognized for being ready to learn and earn points.
3. Communicate
with Parents -Teachers also have the opportunity to communicate student
behavior with parents via ClassDojo. Teachers have the option of
printing students’ weekly report to send home and/or parents are able to signup
to be able to login to ClassDojo to view their child’s data.
