Class Dojo: Free Classroom Management Tool

I recently ran across a great new classroom management tool for teachers called Class Dojo.  Class Dojo allows you to reward positive behaviors and keep track of negative behaviors in real time.

The interface is exceedingly simple. Simply sign up for free as a teacher, then create a class.  My imaginary class has four students as seen below. You can choose from their avatars or upload your own.

Next, create a list of positive and negative behaviors.  You could also create a list of tasks students need to complete and track these as well. 

Once a class is up and running you just click on a students avatar and then select from positive or negative behaviors.

Clas Dojo will record your selection and keep a running tally for each student. Once class is over you can run reports on an entire class or on individual students for selected time periods.

These reports can then be emailed to parent. (A feature to save the reports as a .pdf is coming soon according to the site).

You can also email a secret code to students or parents so they can go on to Class Dojo at home and check their progress at any time!

Last, but definitely not least the mobile Class Dojo site  (http://mobile.classdojo.com) allows you to use your iPhone, iPad, or other mobile device as a class remote to easily track student behavior as you walk around the classroom.
