Class Dojo is a real-time classroom management software that can be used on a computer, android device, or iPad/Ipod Touch. Sign up for an account at www.classdojo.com and enter your class rosters. Then display your Class Dojo created classroom on your smartboard. As you see positive or negative behaviors you can record them either using your computer, or as you walk around the classroom using a mobile device. Class Dojo will make a sound getting students attention and show if a student is being awarded points for positive behavior or points being taken away for negative behavior. Some of the elementary schools in our district are already using this program. Class Dojo is very customizable. Class Dojo also creates reports for you about daily, weekly, and monthly classroom and individual behaviors. Students and Parents can also be given access to their own accounts to monitor behavior.
Here is a video to get you started:
I wanted you to know that I am using Class Dojo with my 6th grade students. The behavior has improved greatly! I am having a hard time getting parents to sign up, with only 8-9 signed up out of the 25 students. Parent Teacher Conferences are next week and I hope to encourage them to sign up!
