I love that the teacher and I can communicate easily through the app. Announcements are easily communicated with all class parents and personalized notes can come directly to me as well.

Cons

I have not come across any negatives as of yet - have used for three years now.

### "Great for teachers and parents!"

February 3, 2019

5.0

I've really enjoyed using Dojo and found that it's given my immediate access to my sons' teachers. I feel more informed about what's going on in their classrooms and it's also served as a motivator for them to work harder!

Pros

I have direct contact with my kids' teachers and can message them if I need something. Teachers are able to easily message all of their students' parents and fill them in on the daily/weekly activities. The Dojo points have been a huge motivator for my son to perform better in the classroom and get excited about school!

Cons

The messaging was confusing at first. I didn't realize that when I sent a message to the teacher it goes directly to her and not all of the parents. The way it's set up, the teacher can send a message to the whole class and then each parent can respond directly to the teacher. That wasn't clear initially. All of your contact is in one chain. I also wish you could download pictures that the teacher posts!

### "Dojo Data Tracker and Class "Story" Wall"

July 17, 2021

5.0

The best experience for me has been having students be able to view their own behavior tracking data and set their own goals. The social emotional learning resources are phenomenal and I've had buy-in even from middle schoolers.

Pros

Behavior/habit targets can be very easily customized and information can be set to private or shared with parents. There is a text to parent feature but it can be set to car head hours and weekend hours. Thursday if I need to take photos and upload them to a story while I'll send them to parents, or record classroom footage to share as well.

Cons

There is not really anything that I dislike about this platform. I would love to be able to share more than what is allowed in terms of number of photos uploaded at once, but that is so minor.

Pros

I like how user friendly it is. I get notified right away when the teacher posts info.

### "Behavior Management- Class Dojo"

October 5, 2021

5.0

Pros

I use Class Dojo as my behavior management plan in my Special Education classroom. It allows students to visually see points being given and taken and gives immediate updates to parents to also see what is happening in the classroom. ClassDojo is fun and motivating for students.

Cons

There is nothing that I do not like about this software.

### "ClassDojo Review"

October 26, 2021

5.0

It is an excellent aid for classroom management.

Pros

ClassDojo is a wonderful and fun software for classroom management and positive reinforcement. A teacher or other school staff member can give individual students, groups of students, or the entire class Dojo points to positively reinforce desirable behaviors. The teacher can also take away points in response to negative behaviors. It is very easy to add students, create groups or tables of students, and create behavior categories with rewards or punishments attached to them. The teacher can then reward or take points away for specific behaviors with a click of the mouse or a tap on their smartphone screen. The phone app is very useful for rewarding students for on-task behaviors while circulating the classroom. The teacher may also keep track of individual students' behavioral patterns and behavioral improvements by looking at how frequently a student was rewarded or punished for a particular behavior. ClassDojo also features fun graphics and sound effects which kids enjoy!

Cons

There is nothing in particular I disliked.

### "Nice communication tool between teachers and parents"

April 17, 2020

5.0

Overall experience is very good. It's an effective communication tool so parents can stay up to dates on children's school lives and conversations with teachers. During "distance learning" time, it is even more important than ever for teachers to reach parents or we may lose track of zoom meetings and homeworks.

Pros

It's an easy to use tool for parents and students. My kids' schools have been using ClassDojo since they were in preschool. Simple enough for kids to understand the reward concept and make them care more when a negative is given. For a busy working parent who has been reading tons of emails already, getting quick and direct updates of our kids from ClassDojo is greatly appreciated.

Cons

It was a bit of a hassle when my school graduated from previous school. There was no way I could stop receiving news from old school although I removed the school from profile. Ended up had to contact customer service few times to get that resolved. Not too big of a deal but could have made it an easier process.

### "Best tool for school staff"

February 21, 2023

5.0

The advantage was that the kids could easily observe their progress and were very eager to win points. With lovely animations, the software has made their website more kid-friendly.

Pros

I appreciate how simple and user-friendly it is to set up. Parents may monitor their children's behaviors, and it helps me keep track of both positive and negative student behaviors.

Cons

A GREAT, FUN, and FREE program that makes it simple for children to keep track of their conduct .It is also a fantastic piece of software that encourages collaboration with families and community.

### "Classdojo for All your Communication Needs"

May 22, 2021

5.0

Classdojo has great customer service and will continue to be at the top of my list for communicating behavior to parents. It is an amazing resource and when you contact the company they are always willing to work with you. Not only that they have a network of users on facebook constantly sharing ideas or ways to utilize in the classroom.

Pros

I have been using Classdojo for over 7 years. This company is ready to adjust to the times. They have made so many changes with the needs for virtual learners. The students have portfolios, behavior points can be customized, you can redeem points (token economy). Not only that students can submit work using an app from home. I really like the student portfolios. The social-emotional learning that is attached to this program as well. So many ways you can customize to fit your individual classroom/school needs.

Cons

I wish there was a better way to post assignments. I wish the parents utilized the at home feature, but many of ours did not want to pay to use the app.

### "ClassDojo helps parents stay connected!"

March 22, 2021

5.0

My son loves choosing his own monster and every time he receives positive points for something good he did, like helping another student. The positive reinforcement is priceless to me.

Pros

It's a great way for parents to communicate with teachers and the school adminstration. It provides notifications on events, important messages like a potential snowday or possible case of lice in school as well as quick responses to any questions I may have. Throughout the day teachers may post pictures and it is really awesome to see your child having fun while in school learning. Keeping tabs on my child's behavior is essential and Class Dojo makes this possible by keeping me in direct communication with the school. You don't have to worry about whether or not your child remembered to send an important note home to you because that information is now found on Class Dojo!

Cons

I like the positive reinforcement part about receiving points when doing something worth praising aspect of ClassDojo but I do not like the negative reinforcement when it comes to deducting points. I understand you need both to show the full spectrum of how the children are behaving but I feel like elementary school children can be a little sensitive when it comes to receiving criticizment (i.e. taking away points).

### "Classdojo"

January 9, 2019

5.0

I have loved class dojo and used it for 7 years now! It gets better every year! I’d recommend it and do to my colleagues!

Pros

I love the connection to parents and the portfolios for students to use. This is an amazing app for teachers. I love the positive behavior system. It has the consequence system built in too, but is so focused on the positive and keeps parents connected! I love the messaging system to communicate with parents as well as the storyboard to post pictures with parents.

Cons

I did not like the notifications for the portfolio being removed from access on the app after approval. They were on the app after approval in the story, so you could go and like and comment on them after approving them. You can no longer do this. I also do no like that customer support did not communicate with me after contacting them about this problem. I use this feature daily and it’s now a struggle to use. Someone posted they dealt with the inquiry. They did not. I posted dissatisfied and reposted a question and still have not received help. Not sure what caused the change with this, usually customer service in the past has been great.

### "If you are a parent you NEED this app"

March 4, 2021

5.0

I have nothing but good things to say about ClassDojo. It helps me stay in touch with my children's teachers. It makes things so much easier during these difficult times.

Pros

This is one of the most amazing apps I have ever used when it comes to my children's schooling. The teachers have a special code they give you to sign up with. They upload pictures, work, e.t.c. It allows you to message them, just like a text message if you have any questions or concerns.

Cons

I do not feel this software needs any improvement. I think it is fantastic just the way it is. Super helpful and convenient!

### "A smart technology"

June 5, 2021

5.0

It is time-relatable and user-friendly software. Therefore, I highly recommend using this software specifically the parents.

Pros

It is the best software nowadays to monitor the performance of a child perfectly. The teachers can interact and monitor how the students are performing in their activities. Even, the parent's interaction with children can be monitored. The teacher can leave any information to the board and the parents can also check the regular activities of classes. It is the smartest technology now the busy days for the parents who can't monitor their children physically but in ClassDojo

Cons

It is easy to perform and monitor because every parent can install it in their mobile. So it is the least inconvenient I hope

### "Keep In Touch!"

February 10, 2021

5.0

I thought the program would be a bit cumbersome for teachers to be in constant contact with the students and parents but I was wrong. Many teachers found that this program was a non threatening child centered way to keep in touch with the families.

Pros

Our teachers love that they can keep in contact with parents and the parents love that the teacher keeps in contact with them. Our teachers have used ClassDojo to keep in contact with the children at home during virtual learning. Assignments can be exchanged and students and parents kept on schedule. Many teachers preferred this software to Google Classroom for their younger students.

Cons

Basically I have not heard any negative comments about the program from those who use it.

Reason for choosing ClassDojo

I chose ClassDojo because I experienced it during a Technology Integration Specialist workshop and was impressed with the possibilities that I saw our teachers could take advantage of if they tried out the program. I was right!

### "Class Dojo"

June 14, 2022

5.0

I like being able to not have to question my child. I can ask and correlate with the app.

Pros

I like using this for my son. It allows me to stay on top of his studies, assignments, grades and to stay informed with special events that may be happening.

Cons

It is expensive to pay for if you want to. I use the free app.

### "Good tool for behavioral therapy"

August 22, 2019

4.0

We use class dojo with our Special needs kids to help with behavior. We found it to be useful but it could be a bit cumbersome to use. Some of our newer paras had a difficult time using the software on the Ipad due to the child always wanting to see why the software made a noise when we entered data. It is a bit difficult to set up but once you get used to using the program it comes in handy to help with behavior modification.

Pros

Offered incentives for the child to strive for. Made it easy to track behavior patterns. Somewhat easy to use

Cons

Had some difficulty personalizing the software to meet outer needs. Somewhat difficult to use at first

### "ClassDojo has really changed how I incentivize things in my classroom."

April 29, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love how creative the idea of this software is. I have used it with students ages 10 - 15. It truly is impressive how students engage in the characters and own their actions. It is such a good software to put a positive spin on behavior. Sure, you can negatively reinforce by subtracting points, but students are motivated by the system.

Cons

I honestly love everything about ClassDojo. It does everything I want it to do. It would be neat if students had a way to access their account and see their details without me displaying it for them.
