Class Dojo

[Dihanna Fedder]

Good morning,

Has anyone used Class Dojo at the high school level?  Is there any other product that is similar that would meet the needs of a HS EBD/SPED program? 

Thanks in advance!

I use it Dihanna and so do many of my colleagues. It's great. I modified all of the positive/needs work attributes to fit my second language classroom. It's made a big difference for on-task vs off-task behavior in my class.

Hi Dihanna,

We have an ALC teacher who started using Classcraft (https://www.classcraft.com/) with his students this year. It allows teachers to "gamify" their class. Teachers can customize Classcraft to guide behavior and/or academic expectations. He and his students love it.

How do make sure that student data is protected in all the different online systems?

Hey Irv,

I'd love to see some examples of what you've modified the work attributes to be to fit your classroom if you don't mind sharing.

I have often wondered about a tool like ClassDojo and the debate on extrinsic vs. intrinsic motivation. This article by Larry Cuban was a nice overview. https://larrycuban.wordpress.com/2014/03/15/on-using-and-not-using-classdojo-ideological-differences/

On Using And Not Using ClassDojo*: Ideological Differences ... larrycuban.wordpress.com In a recent guest post, two British Columbia (Canada) primary grade teachers took opposite sides in discussing their use and non-use of the free behavioral ...

We've had a teacher use Classcraft at the 9th grade level last year. At first he really liked it to "Gamify" his classroom, however by 2nd semester, the students tired of it, and he ended up abandoning it.

Classcraft - Make learning an adventure www.classcraft.com Classcraft helps teachers manage, motivate and engage their students by transforming their classroom into a role-playing game.

As Cuban notes, by secondary, students intrinsic motivation fades, and they are just working to get as many points as they can.

However, if you can bridge the two and get students to behave because they know they ought to, then it might be worth it.

Sure Patrick! It can really be modified to any type of behaviors you want to see or not see in your class:  I'll add pics below.

Anyone else using ClassCraft?  This looks very intriguing and might be just what my EBD teacher could use!!  Tell me more!
