Points can be awarded either to individuals or to the whole class for a range of things, including giving a correct answer, being on task and helping others. On the other hand, points can be taken away for forgotten lanyards or rudeness. I have used Class Dojo with my class in Foundation Learning and I have seen a marked improvement in behaviour, as well as some good-natured competitiveness! &#8211;\u00a0<em><strong>George Owen<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000080\">The eLearning Rating<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We really like the way Class Dojo offers a range of functions, all in one place. If it is used in its simplest form in order to take registers and write notes next to students, it is quite useful. However, if the points system is used, the students create their own avatars and reports are sent to parents, the app becomes a very efficient way of managing the classroom.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3909 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.loucoll.ac.uk\/learningtechnology\/files\/2016\/01\/3-5stars-1024x211.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"237\" height=\"46\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.classdojo.android&amp;hl=en_GB\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3811\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.loucoll.ac.uk\/learningtechnology\/files\/2016\/01\/Play-store.png\" alt=\"app-store-logo\" width=\"179\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/app\/classdojo\/id552602056?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3811\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.loucoll.ac.uk\/learningtechnology\/files\/2015\/12\/app-store-logo-300x89.png\" alt=\"app-store-logo\" width=\"179\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classdojo.com\/en-gb\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3811\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.loucoll.ac.uk\/learningtechnology\/files\/2016\/01\/Web-version.png\" alt=\"app-store-logo\" width=\"179\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description Class Dojo is a fun way of\u00a0engaging a class and giving them an opportunity to create a character to represent them.\u00a0From simple tasks such as taking attendance to rewarding individual students, groups or the whole class.
