### "Track them unlike any other"

September 17, 2018

5.0

Parent

Pros

I like the ability to watch the progress of my children through one app. Both of my daughters go to the same school, and ClassDojo gives me the opportunity to see their progress in one App. I can also see what is coming up, so I don't miss out on events or homework. I can message with my kids' teachers as well.

Cons

Sometimes the notifications are delayed. I get the email before the Dojo notification.

### "Class Dojo is Amazing!"

June 16, 2020

5.0

Class Dojo makes it super easy to stay in contact with parents. I also use it as an in-classroom behavior tracker. When students are making good choices, I give them a point, which shows up on the screen if I am projecting my computer. Kids love seeing their monster earn points. It has really helped my classroom become a better place, since kids are so actively wanting to earn points for themselves.

Pros

I am a teacher and I use Class Dojo to connect with parents. It's great because I do not get cell service in my classroom, so I can easily pull up Class Dojo on my teacher computer if I need to get in touch with a parent. It's incredibly user friendly.

Cons

The only way to make Class Dojo completely seamless is to make sure all your classroom parents sign up for it. That way, you can send out messages and post announcements without ever having to print an actual newsletter again.

### "Great Parent Communication Tool"

October 5, 2020

5.0

Very user-friendly software especially for families. Great way to share individual feedback for each student daily.

Pros

It is easy to share updates, photos, and news with families. It allows 2 way communication between school and home. It is free and works on mobile devices too.

Cons

I would like to see a "stickerbank" where teachers can give out a sticker or badge on the fly in class for good behavior or behavior that needs improvement.

### "Wonderful motivator in the classroom"

February 12, 2020

5.0

CD is an easy way to provide almost instant feedback to students about their behaviors. Having it as an app on my phone means that I am not tethered to my computer all day. Overall, it's a great benefit for all involved.

Pros

I love how involved students get in looking for positive feedback. CD also incorporates some great growth mindset videos that are appropriate for many ages. In addition, one can add and delete behaviors according to your classroom's expectations. You can choose multiple students for feedback at a time or just one. There's an attendance function, a group maker, and a way to get parents involved with messages and photos.

Cons

There's really nothing that the developers haven't thought of that would be a negative. It's easy to use, can be used by multiple teachers, and helps with positive behavior management system.

### "Worth getting"

June 21, 2022

5.0

It was so worth having this program during my kids younger grades to communicate and see pictures of them in school, as well as projects they’ve worked on. This was way easier than having a conference several weeks/months apart.

Pros

This is a great way for all teachers/staff to communicate about things going on at school, events, etc. however, most importantly for me, I was able to communicate with my sons teacher any time when we needed assistance with behaviors and/or calming techniques she used in class.

Cons

I like class Dojo, so I have nothing bad to say about it.

### "ClassDojo is HUGE in my classroom!"

March 4, 2020

5.0

I've enjoyed using the app so much that I've volunteered as a ClassDojo mentor to help and encourage other teachers in using it. It is a very important tool for me as a teacher.

Pros

This software allows me to communicate with parents in a way no other program I've found can. The parents of my students know when behavior issues, both good and bad, occur when they are connected with our class through the app. There are so many things I love about this app that picking just one is tough.

Cons

I work with Kindergarten children and would love for them to be able to interact with it more. I don't feel that this is necessarily a part of the software that is lacking but would be on my wish list.

### "I use it for my grandkids!"

December 3, 2019

5.0

Nothing but all positive experiences with this app

Pros

I love that I am able to receive daily updates with photos on what my grandkids are doing, how they are doing, and if they are having a not so good day (which happens). I can easily communicate with the teacher through the app......

Cons

There is absolutely nothing that I like least about this app/website, everything is truly awesome. I really love it.....

### "Class DoJo for Classroom Management"

April 19, 2020

5.0

Using ClassDojo saves me time as a teacher but relays the same level of communication with families. Instead of handwriting notes, I can easily detail student behaviors and areas of need.

Pros

The individualization and immediacy of feedback for students and families is what makes ClassDojo so great. Students love picking their creatures and can see positive reinforcement through their creatures. I also love the reports that can be sent home electronically, which makes communicating behaviors (positive and negative) with families really easy. It's user friendly, even for people who are not used to communicating electronically.

Cons

I love this software and was able to customize it for my classroom. I recommend it to every teacher looking for a behavior management system that benefits students, teachers, and families.

### "Class Dojo for schools."

February 14, 2019

4.0

Pros

In a nutshell it's an entry level social media application that can help modify behaviors through rewards. It's the perfect platform to teach our children digital citizenship. We can control the content posted and show students how to properly interact through social media. Though I don't believe the program was intended or marketed in such a manner, I believe that is it's greatest strength. At face value, students can earn points for positive behavior and lose points for negative behavior which may be used later as a pizza or ice cream party(example). Parents are also included in Class Dojo, so they get real time updates as well.

Cons

Parents have one more thing to join, one more app to install, and one more thing to check.

### "AMAZING "

May 30, 2019

5.0

Pros

Class Dojo has been wonderful! My mother and I are both involved with my younger brother's health and education. We can both see messages from his teacher, quickly send her a message as needed, and we know we're not interfering with the classroom. His teacher stays signed in after class hours as well so if we've needed clarification on homework expectations we can get an answer within minutes. The school posts a ton of photos of school events, as well as notifications about upcoming events so we're always in the loop. For the summer there's a subscription option as well to get the kids involved outside of school. We haven't tried it out yet but it looks pretty great- can set goals for the kids and they get reminders and rewards for completing them.

Cons

I wish the additional features weren't a charged subscription, we have a ton of extra charges already, but that's really the only negative part we've encountered.

### "our link with teachers"

February 17, 2021

4.0

I am a traditional pen to paper person, I love tangible things and I love my heavy yearly planner. BUT, after using Classdojo for several months now, I can tell how easy and convenient it is having all the files and documents you need (or want) in your device. All the information from the school, communications with the tutor and teachers, pictures, school projects... everything is at hand. I am a big fan now

Pros

I can be aware of just everything that goes on in my child's classroom and lessons. The teacher communicates with parents using this app and sends pictures, news, homework, etc

Cons

I don't know very well how much information from my child can other parents know. I am sure it is well protected, but I would prefer having some sort of profile where I could control these options.

### "Great App for Communication in the Classroom"

April 2, 2019

5.0

Communication is a breeze with the ClassDojo app. The classroom environment is more interactive and collaborative now too.

Pros

Students LOVE the monsters assigned to them. The randomize tool is a fabulous feature - no more popsicle sticks for choosing groups!!

Cons

Hard to find anything to complain about with this program. If I had to find something unfavorable, it would be that it is geared for younger kids mostly.

### "DoJo — The Daily Communication Helper"

February 13, 2019

4.0

In our class, we use Schoology as our core method for distributing assignments, grading, and occasionally parent communication. After using ClassDojo and Schoology together for a while, we've found that ClassDojo's point system is better for providing quick feedback to parents and is much more user-friendly. The issue is, due to using Schoology for everything else, it became troublesome and more complicated using the two separate systems and ended up reverting back to using solely Schoology.

Pros

ClassDoJo provides an easy way to keep parents in the loop with what is going on in class. It's user friendly for instructors, students, and parents alike.

Cons

Lack of Third-party support. This causes a lot of back-and-forth between systems, if other learning management systems are used in the classroom as well.

### "Great Communication App for Parents and Teachers!"

December 6, 2019

5.0

I enjoy being able to communicate with my children's teachers throughout the day, so it is a win from me. I would buy the app straight out if it was an option, but the monthly subscription is billed annually and that is too high for me.

Pros

My favorite part of using this app to communicate with my kiddos teachers is that I am alerted right away if they message me directly. Teachers are also able to upload pics throughout the day of events and tasks the students are doing. Super cute!

Cons

I wish we didn't have to pay for the subscription option, my 6 year old always wants to play and customize his avatar guy on there, but it is all purchase only. I feel we are missing out on a lot of aspects of the app, because we only have the free version.

### "ClassDojo is the best tool for communication"

June 29, 2022

5.0

ClassDojo has saved me so much time and allowed me to stay in constant contact with families. The ease of sharing info and giving parents strategies makes it an invaluable tool.

Pros

I like that parents can reach me instantly, I can easily share pictures of what their child has done at school and they have the ability to give feedback.

Cons

It took me a bit to get used to this platform. It wasn’t as easy at the begining.

### "Parents for ClassDojo"

December 13, 2022

5.0

Overall, this is a safe place for schools to post about students without it being on social media which is nice.

Pros

I like that you have access to the student's current teachers and that you can see any points they are awarded in class for participation, being helpful, etc.

Cons

You are unable to communicate with other teachers that your student may be involved with through extracurricular activities.

### "Good with potential to be great"

January 2, 2020

5.0

I'm able to talk directly with the teacher opposed to going up to the school and the teacher can respond either on a break. It's faster than going to school or calling to the school to talk to the teacher. which means that I don't have to stop work early to go to my child's school or to call my child to speak with a teacher.

Pros

What I like most about this software is that I stay up-to-date on what's going on with my child in class. I am able to see homework that was given.

Cons

What I like least about it would be that when the teacher post certain links for the student the students cannot copy the link or click on the link which means that us as parents have to log on to our class dojo and get the link for that child and I believe that it should be more convenient especially if that homework or that link is directly for the child.

### "Not impressed"

June 15, 2023

4.0

Pros

I love that the videos come through very clearly and that I get an alert

Cons

I think the app through the phone may need to be updated. It seems like it's more compatible for a computer since not the whole screen is always visible. Also I find it confusing toggling between my 2 children's profiles.

### "Best behavior management tools"

April 14, 2019

5.0

Pros

Students LOVE ClassDojo and shows that they really care about the points and use it as self-monitoring tools. They also have SEL resources for teachers!

Cons

Holding a point of having students to do more to earn the point might be better than taking points away since some students do take it seriously and taking points away might cause distress and trigger more behaviors.

### "Excellent, student-friendly classroom management tracker"

October 27, 2018

4.0

Pros

ClassDojo provides teachers with a visually-friendly, student-focused tool that helps them document classroom management. Students enjoy it. The best part about the software tool is that the information documented can be shared with students and families, adding to the school-to-home partnership while also creating incentives for students. We have found it to be a very easy application to implement into any classroom!

Cons

The software is somewhat limited in terms of functionality. ClassDojo continues to add features, though, so I have been pleased with their development team. The larger the class the harder it is to navigate on an iPad, though this has been improved with the most recent software releases.

### "Perfect Student Incentive Software"

April 20, 2019

5.0

Pros

This program allows the students to see how well they are doing during the day when they see their amount of points on the display screen in the classroom. The students love the way they get to create their own monster that becomes their avatar/point holder in the program and the parents love how they get to see what is going on.

Cons

I feel that some teachers could use this system in the wrong way like using the messaging system to complain about other parents. I just suggest using this system with caution and only for immediate correspondence with families. If the matter is seriously urgent, I would use this private messaging part of the software to message the family about scheduling a phone call.

Cons

there is nothing that i liked least about this software. I'm happy my childs teacher found this software and shared with her parents.

### "ClassDojo allows communication between teacher and student"

June 20, 2023

4.0

Pros

ClassDojo removes the inconvenience barrier of communicating between teacher and parent. It can be so difficult to communicate with a student's teacher without arranging schedules and stopping all the other things both a busy teacher and busy parent have to do. The ability to send messages directly to a teacher at your convenience is a valuable feature.

Cons

There are a lot of features that add visual clutter IF the teacher is not using them. If the teacher is not filling up those features with content, and just using ClassDojo for two-way communication, they are unnecessary.
