Introduction to ClassDojo by V Kerr at Teachmeet St Thomas More Catholic Academy Longton Stoke-on-Trent 23rd June 2016

1. My favorite classroom tool, and
soon to be yours :)

2. Why I use ClassDojo
My classroom community is
more positive and supportive
than ever – with my students
and their parents.
We encourage each other in
class for skills we believe are
important.
Parents can see how their
child is doing, plus I can share
photos, videos, and
announcements instantly from
class!

3. Encourage students
Every day I give ‘Dojo
points’ to students for
skills like helping
others, persistence,
and teamwork.
Students love being
recognized for their
hard work :)
Helping others

4. Parents can see their child’s
feedback from their own device
at home.
Plus, I can also easily share
with parents:
•Photos and videos of students
working hard in class
•Ideas for how they can help at
home
•Important announcements and
reminders
Keep parents in the
loop!

5. Class Story makes it
easy to share classroom
moments with parents,
as well as updates and
reminders.
My students and I love
sharing photos and
videos on our Class
Story – parents can
even “like” your posts!
Celebrate classroom
moments
