WEEK 11 - ClassDojo!
This week I decided I would have some fun right along with you guys and find a new free tool to share (one that I wasn't already familiar with)! After searching around and checking out a lot of different tools, I selected ClassDojo. This tool can work well in K-12 (although older high schoolers might find it a bit ‘below' their age level). I love the positive reinforcement approach ClassDojo provides.
Here's a tutorial by Thomas Grodek that introduces the tool and shows you how it works:
Here are some articles other teachers have written about using ClassDojo:
