### "Its useful only if both parties use it."

August 26, 2020

4.0

If i had a job as a teacher id love class dojo. I realize especially with middle and high school aged children there is a lot of classwork and homework to worry about. To have instant access to a parent would be a huge help and likewise as a parent to teacher relationship. You have that personal connection and can ask questions, explain problems in the classroom or at home and show off how well your child or student is doing and what they have accomplished.

Pros

I liked it because it helped me keep track on what was happening in my son's classroom. It was fairly straightforward with the directions in how to use it. It also gave me access to his teacher, so it is better then waiting on someone to return your call. There is also a reward system for the kids depending on how well there day is going they get dojo points. My son loved getting good reviews with class dojo, when his teacher actually used it. You just log on to class dojo on your phone or computer and put in a special code for your child and you have instant access to that classroom and teacher. It's not a live feed, more like a live email with pictures and videos.

Cons

The fact is it does not matter how often you use it or check it if the other person (example: teacher) does not use it too. There is a reward system that the elementary school used called dojo points, if you have a good day you get more points. His teacher rarely used class dojo which was very frustrating for me as a parent. She did not reply when left messages until weeks later.

### "Classdojo for a 1st grade classroom"

July 6, 2019

4.0

I have used Classdojo for 3 years now, and would recommend it! It brings parents into the conversation and makes communication easier and more efficient. Students can track their behaviors and physically see the benefits of good behavior.

Pros

I love that it is user friendly, both for students and parents. I can use this software to communicate with parents and it is keeps a digital record of all conversations. I can make announcement and create reminders for parents. After the message is sent out, I can see who has read the renouncement and who I still need to contact. Students can customize their avatars to make it feel more personalized. The parents can see how their child is doing instantly. This helps them to reward and reinforce postie behaviors at home.

Cons

The app only works with up to date devices. I work in a low income school, and some parents do not have the latest devices and/or cannot update. It feels like they are excluded from the conversation.

### "I love ClassDojo!"

December 11, 2018

5.0

My overall experience with ClassDojo has been very pleasant so far. I have had this app for 3 years for my child.

Pros

The app is so easy to use. My child's teacher is able to connect with me instantly about anything from behavior, homework, or just to tell me that my child is doing well. I enjoy getting notifications from the app thru my phone and from emails as well. This app makes sure that parents stay in the know about their child's education. This app is also very child friendly and very colorful.

Cons

There are no cons. I really enjoy this app.

### "Classdojo, forward thinking but a few flaws"

February 14, 2023

4.0

Pros

Classdojo is a simple piece of software that allows me to communicate with parents and update them quickly on the progress of their child. I am able to upload photos and answer messages at a click of a button and everything is clear and simple to use.

Cons

There is no way to edit a post and add more photos to it, i have found that i have had to delete the post and start again. This can be time consuming and frustrating, especially with a class full of childrens profiles to update.

### "Excellent software, use is controversial? "

December 26, 2019

5.0

My son's teacher (kindergarten) uses Dojo daily. To the point I wonder/worry about the amount of time she spends on her phone while she should be teaching. It is her main form of communication so sometimes important info is missed because it is mixed in with a ton of bull crap I get tired of sifting through. It has become time consuming. My daughter's teacher (2nd grade) rarely uses it only posting important reminders and photos of more important events. I like that because I get the info I need and feel like she is still accessible if I needed anything.

Pros

ClassDojo the software/App itself is excellent. Never had an issue with it working like it should. It's a great communication tool for connecting parents with teachers, counselors, and others that are involved in your children's daily life. Makes you feel involved and makes teachers accessible. It's great to see pictures and videos of what your children are doing.

Cons

The cost of ClassDojo Beyond which gives you the ability to bring the rewards system home seems extremely high for what you get. I see the value in continuity but not at $8.99 a month, when I can use another free app with many more features. It also seems that parents who do not have internet access could easily miss out on important information from teachers who use Dojo as their main form of communication.

### "Makes Class Management A Breeze"

July 19, 2020

5.0

Class Dojo has many different layers. It make managing a classroom simple and meaningful.

Pros

Classdojo is constantly and steadily making their product better. Many features are easy to customize, easy to work with dozens of other users and has many different tools that are essential to teachers, saving time and energy.

Cons

There are no clear options when removing a student's information from the school and retain their guardian information related to a sibling. using the same account on a phone and computer can also cause input issues.

### "Simple yet Easy Behavior Management System"

May 21, 2021

5.0

I have used Classdojo for many years as an educator. I have even used Classdojo with own children at home to keep track of chores, behavior, and such.

Pros

I absolutely love that this product is so easy to use. I can easily edit skills/expectations for students. Tracking behavior and rewarding students is really so easy with ClassDOJO. I did personally try some other online rewarding tools but they were complicated or tilted to one specific interest and did not appeal to all of my students.

Cons

I wish there were a simpler, easier way to see the names of students at a quick glance. When rewarding students, especially in our grade-level groups, it feels like it takes me forever to find every student's name. I would love for their names to be a larger font.

### "Class Dojo makes teacher communication easy, efficient and secure"

February 18, 2019

5.0

Overall, my experience with Class Dojo has been excellent. I highly recommend it to anyone who's school system utilizes it, as it makes communication with busy teachers seamless and trackable. I also appreciate being able to look back at pictures, records, and past communication, all in one place. Teachers have used this platform to communicate class announcements, requests and updates; as a parent, I have used it to send individual messages to teachers and to keep up with grades. Class Dojo makes it easy to be in the loop.

Pros

Class Dojo is a versatile platform that makes communication from teachers to parents and caregivers easy and efficient. As a parent user, I love Class Dojo for the quick updates I see from teachers throughout the day or week, as they frequently post pictures of what is happening in the classroom. Only those with an access code can see the updates. Teachers can easily communicate with the whole cohort of parents, as well as individually with parents; I receive opted to receive updates every time grades are entered (notifications can be turned off), and there is also a way to send and receive individual messages with any of the student's teachers. If there are multiple children in the family, all of their reports, teachers, pictures and classes can be listed under one account. Class Dojo is a one-stop shop for a parent or caregiver who wants to keep up with what is happening with their student.

Cons

Honestly, I haven't found anything lacking for my purposes with this app.

### "Class Dojo is the bridge needed between classroom and parents. "

May 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love that parents can see exactly what their child is doing in class through the information that I put in. I also love that it allows parents to communicate directly with me through the app. The students earn or lose points based on their behaviors in class and parents can see the behaviors as well.

Cons

What I like least about the software is that it is a pain to add all the students into. If it would sync with Google Classroom to load our students in for us that would make it 100 times better.

### "Great App for Parents and Teachers"

October 12, 2020

5.0

ClassDojo is amazing for progress tracking and keeping up with what's going on at my child's school.

Pros

As a parent, I love the fact that I'm able to track my child's progress every single day as the teacher posts to the app. Not only that, I can track his progress for this year, but with previous classes as well. I can also see if my kid has homework.

Cons

The only thing that I think could be better is the ease of removing old classes. I had to login online to figure out how to remove classes that go back as far as kindergarten.

### "A great way to keep in touch with my kids at school!"

February 18, 2021

5.0

ClassDojo has been an invaluable way to connect with my children's school progress and their teachers during the Covid pandemic.

Pros

ClassDojo allows the teachers at my children's school to post pictures, videos, and descriptions of their days on a daily basis. This provides such a valuable insight into their activities and learning. Before Covid hit, we used to speak to the teachers for 5-10 minutes every night, which is now not possible due to the social distancing practices in place. ClassDojo gives us that outlet to connect and is invaluable!

Cons

Many of the features such as awarding points, rewards, etc. don't seem to be that useful. It seems like the teachers want parents to utilize those points to further their progress for reading/teeth brushing/etc., but that type of structure doesn't work well for my family, personally.

### "Excellent communication tool for parents! "

May 7, 2019

5.0

Pros

My daughter's teachers have used Class Dojo for the last 3 years and it's wonderful. We get daily updates on what they're learning in class, and we have a direct messaging route whenever we have questions/concerns. Class Dojo allows the teachers to post photos of projects and events at the school as well so we get a much clearer picture of what's going on at the school during the day. \*Parent's have to be invited to view their individual student's class as well, so the messages and updates are all secure and private. If a parent prefers not to have their student's pictures posted they can also opt out with their teacher and arrange that as well.

Cons

Student reports only go back one week. It would be great if they were saved in the app for a little longer, perhaps a month. I have no other complaints beyond this though, it's a wonderful tool for parents and teachers alike.

### "Great communication tool"

August 27, 2020

5.0

I have used this for a few years now, with thousands of 5/6 students. Overall, it gives students a great measure of how their behavior is doing. I have noticed that some people use it incorrectly, giving the app a bad name.

Pros

I love that I can share snippets of students' days that parents don't normally see. I love that I can private message and also send photos.

Cons

I dislike the bombarding emails. I wish there was an easier way to mark what items need a response and what don't. It would be great if I could give parents an idea of the importance.

### "Teacher/Parent/Student communication"

October 2, 2019

4.0

Instead of sending home endless amounts of paper, teachers are able to communicate with parents as often as they deem appropriate. ClassDojo is a wonderful tool that benefits parents and the teachers keeping the lines of communication open.

Pros

My daughter's teacher shares almost daily. It is wonderful to know what the class is working on, to see pictures and videos from the day's activities.

Cons

Had a profile from an older child, and am finding it difficult to log in as my current child's parent. This makes communicating with the teacher impossible.

### "Convenient & Easy"

October 2, 2022

4.0

Pros

The product is easy to use. It also provides a convenient, modern way to stay informed on school news & activities but most importantly it gives you insight into your child’s progress & curriculum.

Cons

You get the basic for free but there is an option to purchase a monthly subscription for access to extra benefits such as lessons for your child & access to reward points for good behavior. I feel that it should be completely free with the extra benefits because in today’s economy Americans are already over paying for everything so shouldn’t we get a break on something used for children’s educational purposes?

February 12, 2023

5.0

Pros

Classdojo is simple to use, it allows for quick updates with photos and comments in an instant and also has an instant message service for ease. The attendance tab for excluding absent students makes relevant posts much easier to manage.

Cons

I am unable to edit photos that I put into a post. There is the choice to delete photos but not to add new ones in so this would be something that class dojo would benefit from.

### "Great way to keep Up on Kiddos behavior and academic performance throughout the d while on the job!"

February 11, 2021

5.0

I have had the best experience possible with classdojo, and I am so thankful that an app like this exists! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANY AND ALL PARENTS!

Pros

Throughout the day, the app is refreshed to show current feedback from your child's teacher. There is no better peace of mind than knowing details on how your kids are doing at school while you are busy making money. The fact you can contact the teacher, and link numerous kids and teachers to your account is geat! Teachers can send out class notes and information to everyone at once, as well as post pictures that can be shared and saved to your own gallery on your device to keep.

Cons

There hasn't been anything that I haven't liked about this application! In fact, one of the coolest things that has been added is: the feature you do have to pay for to use-AIA you can rate and review and assign good and or bad badges and/or goals to your child's name.

### "Why ClassDojo is a Valuable Tool in Schools"

July 23, 2019

5.0

My overall experience with ClassDojo is a positive one. I think it's a really nice additional tool to add to a teacher's "toolbox". With a little fine tuning to make it a little more user friendly, this could be a true go-to app.

Pros

I really like that this software allows teachers to quickly and effectively communicate with parents and caregivers. I like not only being able to receive group messages and pictures of what's going on in my kid's classrooms, I like that the teachers can also send individual messages. There is also a pretty cool Report feature that allows teachers to send reports such as Positive, Neutral, or Needs Work and the can assign a specific number to each. It's a nice way to follow the progress of students, especially in a large classroom or large school where individual parent/teacher contact is difficult.

Cons

I don't like that ClassDojo doesn't automatically move up to the next grade as your child moves up to the next grade. In my experience of using Class Dojo for two years now, I found that I had to manually adjust with a new student ID and basically re-set-up my kids' information. I also don't like that I get e-mail notifications, but can't access ClassDojo from my desktop. I can only access it through the app on my phone.

December 12, 2022

Pros

I use this software in the capacity that I can view my child’s progress in his classroom. I love that I am able to view his records easily And to interact with his teacher. If the teacher needs to communicate with me she can privately send me a message or I can send her one. It lets me know his progress in class and how well he is doing.

Cons

The only downside to this software is that if I want to do more with it then I have to upgrade to the pro package

### "ClassDojo makes the classroom more alive"

May 5, 2019

5.0

I use ClassDojo to build a digital portfolio for my students (8-12 years old). Using ClassDojo, I can encourage students to focus on their positive attitudes and develop useful skills. ClassDojo also allows me to report classroom activities to parents, making them engage in their children's growth. It's wonderful!

Pros

ClassDojo is a utility program which allows teachers to set up digital classroom environment. Through ClassDojo, teachers are able to manage tasks, grades, reports and various other things. ClassDojo is very easy to use. Teachers can invest 15-30 minutes to set the digital class up, then gain the benefits of ClassDojo for the rest of the year!

Cons

None that I can think of! ClassDojo is THAT good.
