Class Dojo – Classroom Management platform

by Nicolas Frichot

Definition: ClassDojo is an educational technology platform that provides a communication and classroom management tool for teachers, students, and parents.

Examples:

With ClassDojo, as teachers, we can track and reward students’ positive behaviors. Additionally, it’s a great channel of communication between teachers and parents.

Aim:

• Enhance communication between teachers and parents;
• Encourage positive student behavior and engagement;
• Provide real-time feedback for a supportive classroom environment.

Benefits:

• Improves parent-teacher communication;
• Encourages positive student behavior;
• Facilitates real-time feedback.

Challenges:

• Privacy concerns with student data;
• Dependence on a stable internet access;
• Potential for misinterpretation of behavior data;
• Dependence on the reward model (awards framework). 

Personal Reflection: I’ll be honest, I like ClassDojo and find useful its various applications. However, in my opinion, it is limited in terms of features when compared to Canvas by Instructure LMS. Additionally, I do not find it the best solutions for all age groups. Still, it’s worth a try as long as positive results are noted.
