Classroom Dojo


A co-worker recently introduced me to this free behavior tracking app and I love it! Classroom Dojo is a visual behavior tool that allows you to easily track positive as well as negative student behaviors through a point system. Sound like a lot of work? It really isn't. Once you type in all your students' names, Class Dojo assigns a colorful character button to each name. As students exhibit behaviors tap their name once to bring up a menu of behavior options. Tap the behavior they just exhibited and a point will be awarded or deducted from their daily total. Behaviors are tracked daily and can be archived for the entire school year. Parents, other teachers, and administrators can be emailed with a daily graph detailing the percentage of each type of behavior exhibited by a single student each day. Go to their online site to customize the type of behaviors you are specifically tracking. You will also find helpful tutorials to get  you and your students started on this journey together! (Just make sure your school tech administrator has unblocked the site from any filtering services your district may implement prior to classroom use). 

Happy Wednesday!
