What is Classdojo?

Classdojo is true gamification of learning. This application brings the game to the classroom and encourages students to learn and participate. Teachers can set up their class and give each of their students their own avatar. Throughout the year (whether online or in person), teachers can reward points to individual students, groups of students, or even the whole class based on how well they are working, collaboration, handing things in, etc. Teachers can even give out prizes as students redeem their points! There are leaderboard options as well as level and experience point options allowing for a focus on behaviour expectations and for students to learn about intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation.
