ClassDojo is an engaging and attractive method of tracking student behaviour and learning skills during the day. It’s an online method with children being awarded points when they respond positively to the rules we've drawn up. Negative behaviours are also recorded. However those children making an effort to modify their behaviour can have them reduced. Each child is represented on screen by an avatar and they can see their points being awarded in real time. It is an excellent reminder to them of how to behave in the classroom and assists them in taking responsibility for their behaviour.
I have been using ClassDojo for almost two weeks now and already I can see its benefits keeping students focused on their work and helping to build positive learning habits.
ClassDojo also has a feature that allows me to send parents behaviour and skills report every week by email. Parents wishing to avail of this feature should contact the school with this information or put their email addresses in their child’s journal.
This activity sounds very fun! I wish our school had these kind of activities. It would be a more fun way to learn.
ReplyDeleteWow, this sounds like a pretty interesting way to improve behaviour. Howare the different behaviours recorded though?
ReplyDeleteThe teacher and students decide that behaviours that can be included. You have one section for positive behaviours and another for negative ones. Students engaging in negative behaviours can have win back points by changing their behaviour. Parents can get login details so that they can check how their child is behaving in class.
