### "Kids Love It"

April 16, 2021

4.0

ClassDojo is a great motivator and can be used to get students excited about just about any activity in or around the classroom.

Pros

Letting the kids know that they have an active part in earning class rewards is a great motivator. They especially love the characters and the sounds that are made when they are given points for their work ethic/empathy/bravery, etc.

Cons

The software is incredibly easy to use so I wouldn't change any of the functions for users, but I would like it to be a more closed system.

### "ClassDojo for both teachers and parents"

October 5, 2021

5.0

• My experience with ClassDojo is extraordinary. I have used this software daily during the pandemic period as a teacher and a parent as well. As a teacher, it helped me to keep my class well-organized and active. As a parent, ClassDojo allowed me to track my child's educational progression. I simply love this software.

Pros

• It is free, who does not like software with a free version. • It keeps the students and teachers connected. • Parents can upload a portfolio of their children so that teachers can check all details about students. • ClassDojo makes it easy for teachers to communicate with parents. • It also helps teachers to manage the class easily.

Cons

• The interface may not be easy for everyone. • The software lacks the search feature. Some things should stay private, like the behavior point.

### "Parent engagement"

June 14, 2021

5.0

What a great service this is for parents and teachers. We start our preschool parents out using it early on so that they are comfortable using it when their children reach elementary school. Every teacher I know uses Class Dojo!

Pros

Class Dojo is great for keeping parents abreast of what’s happening in the classroom throughout the day. Especially during this year of low contact with parents due to Covid, we could still address issues or quickly inform parents of changes.

Cons

I don’t think there are any real cons to the program, but there are features we don’t use because we don’t need them.

Reason for choosing ClassDojo

Class Dojo is free for the applications we need and we appreciate that!

### "ClassDojo makes learning interesting"

April 25, 2020

5.0

ClassDojo has user-friendly interface for all kinds of users such as students, parents and teachers. It is simple yet powerful tool that students, parents and teachers can use to share online learning. This is simply magnificent!

Pros

ClassDojo was introduced by my grandchildren's teachers and I really enjoyed using it. I was the assigned parent for my grandkids learning activities on their school online platform. It has simple features yet very powerful. You can upload photos and videos of students' activities. You can also add stories on the work of the students. Oh, it has also a chat box feature that you can directly communicate with the teacher. ClassDojo has user-friendly interface that you can easily navigate. It is also kid-friendly software.

Cons

For me the features of ClassDojo is perfect for its being kid-friendly. The user-interface is just enough for the kids using it. All of its simple interface satisfies my requirements for my grandchildren especially that they should not be exposed to other information in the Internet.

### "Excellent Tool for Student Engagement"

March 10, 2019

4.0

Free program that was east to use, met the needs of me as a teacher and both my students and their parents. Will continue to use.

Pros

I loved this for keeping students concentrated during work periods. I also liked that this allowed me to communicate with parents of the students in my class and easily and safely keep them updated on the social and academic processes at school.

Cons

Could not generate many reports with attendance. It was limiting in what I could mark, so I could not use the attendance part of this software for tracking student attendance. There were not enough, or any editable options to meet the attendance policy at my school.

### "Class Dojo is the Amazing to Communicate with Parents!"

December 29, 2020

5.0

Overall, I enjoy using Class Dojo to continuously communicate with my parents and build a good rapport with them.

Pros

Class Dojo is an amazing tool that I use to communicate with my students' parents. I can have real-time chats with them anytime, like texting directly on your cell phone. I also love that Class Dojo is an app and can be downloaded onto almost all electronic devices.

Cons

I don't like the Class Dojo only allows you to post a limited amount of pictures on the Class Story. I also would like to link my Class Dojo account to my Google Classroom account, for convenience. I also would like to be able to archive individual chat threads for documentation purposes. As a teacher, parents tell me all the time that they can see their child's previous teacher's updates, rather than just mine. I wish parents can unenroll from a Class Dojo without waiting for the teacher to remove them. This process makes it difficult for students that are removed from a Classroom on Class Dojo in the middle of the school year.

### "VERSITLE AND EASY TO USE!"

September 22, 2020

5.0

I have no complaints. I loved the "quiet time" feature that let parents know it was after hours and I might not respond right away. It was honestly a life saver that I promoted to other teachers to use in sharing daily homework assignments, and reminders.

Pros

Parent communication has always been a challenge in an urban setting. Class Dojo, wile designed to help keep students on track with a point system, was a lifesaver for communicating with parents via messenging, and posting homework daily for parents to see. You can share student work via portfolios, or even upload images and videos of wonderful events happening in your classroom. It really changed how I was able to connect with my parents.

Cons

I love everything about Class Dojo, especially the fact that it's free. Anything that makes communication more accessible, less time consuming, and more efficient is worth trying in education.

November 2, 2023

Everything has been excellent with communication.

Pros

I stay in contact with all of the teachers so I know exactly what my child needs.

### "Simple for parents"

December 13, 2022

4.0

ClassDojo is a very good experience for me so far. Classdojo is user-friendly, simple to download to practically any device, offers seamless school-to-home communication, has daily reporting on student behavior, and is quite effective at encouraging the kids to regulate their behavior positively.

Pros

ClassDojo is really simple to use for parents. We may access it easily and it is simple to install on the majority of devices ( I use Android/Windows). It makes it incredibly simple to communicate with the teachers. Students can create their own "character" ( my son loves it). The option "Add A child'' is very usefull

Cons

ClassDOJO plus is unfortunatly not free.

April 25, 2024

5.0

Pros

This app is both easy to use and extremely helpful. It's an invaluable tool for parents to keep track of their kids' progress in school. I really like it.

Cons

### "Como encarregado de educação recomendo "

February 17, 2023

5.0

Qualquer situação que necessitava de informar/questionar a professora, tinha resposta em tempo útil.

Pros

Software que a relação encarregado de educação/aluno/professor fique mais próxima.

Cons

A integração do software na escola não foi eficaz, logo os seus recursos não foram aproveitados na sua totalidade.

### "Great for Teachers and Parents "

October 8, 2022

5.0

Overall this is us greatly effective tool! You can keep track of almost anything and you can use it both as a class tool and individual student tool.

Pros

I've used ClassDojo for about five years. It's great to use as a behavior management tool with your classes and also a great way to document information with parents.

Cons

I will say that as much as I love the tool I really hope that they can get their issues with iPhones repaired quickly. Sometimes I am notified that I have new messages but when I click on them it won't show me the messages.

### "Simple & quick"

April 26, 2022

5.0

My overall experience with ClassDojo is positive. It’s simple & easy, efficient for student information & a great communication tool between the teachers & the students family.

Pros

The features I like the most in class dojo are the ability to talk with teachers/coaches quickly & easily.

Cons

The least favorite features in class dojo are the paid features. Only because every students family should be able to access to their child’s record without having to pay.

### "ClassDojo- Benefits and Takeaways"

August 3, 2019

4.0

Pros

Something that I enjoyed about ClassDojo was the fact that my students were competitively engaged to be successful. If one of my students was growing academically, I could distribute points to them and recognize their achievement; meanwhile, the rest of the class could notice that their classmate had received a point by looking at the screen. This friendly motivator helped other students realize they needed to be focused on how to make the most of their learning. On the other hand, if one of my students was not fully engaged, they knew the possible response of their teacher was to take away a point from them after a positive reinforcement took place.

Cons

Since parents have access to view your platform, they may wonder why their student did not receive any points or why their child lost many points during the day. Although, I welcome parent connections, parents may base their biases on the number of points their child has received. Secondly, the software caters mostly to lower elementary. Upper elementary does not value the program as much due to the hindrance towards an abstract mindset. Students within upper elementary (3-5 grade) need something that appeals towards reasoning and collaboration in order to engage them fully. I prefer Bloomz with upper education because it allows for more involvement with parents and families.

### "Fun to use & encourages effort to students"

March 3, 2019

5.0

It encourages students to put more effort in the classroom and learning. It strengthens the relationship between the family of the student and teacher when the family is able to see how their student is doing as far as performance and whatever other aspect the teachers choose to share about the learning experience. The students are more motivated when they get to see how well they are doing.

Pros

It has a cute interface, with monsters that children enjoy seeing. You can give feedback during lessons and in-class exercises. It has easy communication and switching between students for their individual feedback for something they did. It is readily available for most smart devices.

Cons

What could be improved is to have more visibility of the software while not on the application. Not all the features are available online.

### "Perfect for Classroom Management!!"

July 7, 2018

5.0

Pros

I have used this software for over three years and it has continue to help me each year as a teacher. Even being a teacher who lives abroad, students still respond well to ClassDojo. I love that I can use my phone to give points through the app and the response on the website. So even while I'm teaching, I can easily pull my phone out and give or take Dojo points. I also like the connections I can make with parents through ClassDojo.

Cons

One thing I would like to see changed about this service is having the groups and individuals on the same page and not have to change between screens. I would also like to continue playing the music while i. A different windo on ClassDojo. They could create a small music player on the corner of the screen so it doesn't go away when you need to do other things.

### "Pros and Cons"

December 30, 2020

5.0

My overall experience is that I would continue to work with this app, but this app needs to reflect the students real grades and assignments.

Pros

Not all schools provide this program between parents and teachers, but well worth it, if you need to contact the teacher after school hours. This is a professional setting, so it documents conversations between both parties, allows to send pictures between the two parties or to take a picture. I loved all these features Classdojo provides.

Cons

I didn't like how this app does not reflect the students current grade. It never showed the students actual assignments and the timeframe for completion. I don't know if this is the apps issue for not updating this or the teachers, but it needs to be majorly improved for elementary students, for middle schoolers, I didn't run across that issue.

Pros

I have used this app for a few years now. It is such a great way to communicate with my kids teachers and also be able to see whats happening in class. Currently my childs teachers post atleast once a day notifications for the parents there. I can see the notifications pop up on my phone. It is also user friendly.

Cons

I have nothing bad to say about this software. I would recommend it to all schools to use it!

### "Dojo"

December 30, 2018

5.0

I love the notes I can add when I give or deduct a point. It is great documentation for the helicopter parents as well as the ones who are not as involved but then act surprised when you contact them about behavior issues. It is also great for me as I can forget the details of the offense as the day goes on.

Pros

It is very easy to use and with mobile apps, it is available to me at all times.

Cons

I do not care for the class story. I use it most for classroom behavior management.

### "Great way to stay in the know with your childrens Teacher! "

November 7, 2023

5.0

My overall experience with ClassDojo has been great. I have no complaints.

Pros

I love that this is a convenient want to communicate with my childrens teacher if i need to get a message to her or them. I also love that I can scroll through the feed and see any pictures the teachers has posted of activities that the class has been doing recently.

Cons

The only thing that I dislike about ClassDojo is that as a parent, we're required to use this app to communicate with the teacher, but not all features are available with the free account. I think all features should be readily available if we're required to use the app.
