Pros:
- Teachers can keep track of their students behavior by giving them profiles by tracking their abilities to help others, staying on task, participation, persistence, team work, and how hard they are working. Their is also a negative tab that can take awards away from the students.
- This app/website allows teachers to interact with the parents of their students in a fast and easy way.
- It allows parents to physically see their child's progress by looking at the photos the teacher posts of the students.
- Parents can also see their child's progress and awards throughout the year by looking up their child's profile.
- This app/website is also an easy way to contact teachers quickly and easily with any questions throughout the school day.
Cons:
- Class Dojo may be a helpful way for teachers to regulate a classroom's behavior, but the students aren't really learning from this app.
- This app can embarrass other kids who got points taken away or didn't get points and since everyone can see student profiles, it can embarrass a child.
- Parents can see other students' profiles, which can lead to unhealthy judgement.
- Some parents may get upset if their child is not in every picture that the teacher posts.
