ClassDojo Reviews & Insights

I am able to use it to help keep up with my student's absentees and also their behavior in my classroom. I am better able to show students where they need help in regard to their behavior in my classroom. I also offer incentives for those who are the best behaved at the end of each week, semester, and year.

I have been better able to keep up with student absentees and behavior since using Class Dojo. My students always like it when they get feedback on how they are doing in my class. Parents are also able to track and see how well their students are doing and can schedule a conference with me when the need arises.

This is an amazing software, this gives free and paid version as well which can be very nicely utilized in educational sectors.
We use ClassDojo for various purposes other than attendance tracking. We use to use this software to communicate with parents on what is happening in the School.
During COVID when things completely went online, it was the time we were evaluating softwares which could help us communicate with parents as they would do during the pre pandemic times. During Pre-Panemic times they woudl just come into the schoool check out what there kids are upto and it was easy.
During Panemic the KIDS were not interested having there parents next to them while they do online classes, hence Dojo was a good medium to communicate with the parents and track the attendance of each students which was essentials in providing them with the correct gradings at the end of the term.

This is well suited for educational organization of all kind of sizes as they offer a free version and paid version.
Hence if the parents are willing to pay a small fee they can get some great features, which is really handy.
However when it comes to educational sectors not all country is well connected, I have tried to implement this in countries in Asian region where there is still need of room for internet improvement. This app does not suit well.
So this app is very much dependent on the internet.

The main thing we are using it for is for parent communication. Prior to the Pandemic we used it more to track behavior. We were able to award points for good behavior for them to reach an incentive goal that we had established. The nice thing about the behavior items is that you can customize it for the behaviors you are looking to track or reward.

It works really well sending messages to parents. Parents are more likely to respond using class Dojo than standard email or a phone call. It's sometimes difficult for parents to receive and download attachments.

I think it needs to have an engagement piece to track how often parents are interacting through Dojo.
