Class Dojo

Last year I had the opportunity to work for a few months with a super-challenging class. As I was challenged with short attention and defiant behaviors in the classroom I sampled and searched for possible classroom management/classroom discipline tools that would accommodate this busy moving class. In my search I came across ClassDojo an online behavior management tool.


This classroom management tool allows you to customize both positive and negative awards to your classroom rules. Students can earn points for positive behaviors and lose points for negative behaviors. It is very easy to set up with your class list. Each student is assigned an avatar. (Students can customize their own avatars.)






There is also a mobile app that allows teachers to activate student accounts anytime anyplace. (On the playground, on field trips, in lunchroom...)

ClassDojo also allows a unique tool for parental involvement. Parents can track and print their children’s individual reports weekly.

I find ClassDojo to be one of the greatest “Free” online tools for managing student behavior.

QUICK RESPONSE

“qr CODE”

A readable bar code that can store website URL's, plain text, phone numbers, email addresses and so much more… Simply hold your picture-taking device over the QR code and the designated website, audio, or text will open up on your screen.

Save paper…..Invest in Technology!

If you have access to ipads and ipods for your students you can expose the QR codes around your classroom as you implement a wide range of high-tech educational learning experiences.

Accessible QR codes in the classroom offer students the opportunity to be independent as they easily scan the class QR codes, quickly logging in/paper-free to the websites they need to complete assignments.  

Do you strategically use technology

and digital media with confidence in your lessons?

The possibilities for demonstrating technology in the Common Core Classrooms are plentiful when using QR codes in daily lessons. Teaching our students to use technological tools effectively in the classroom will prepare them for life in an extreme technological society.

JTech-devices will need the free app I-nigma to scan codes.
