Royal history review of ClassDojo

Reviewed on 2023/10/27

Pros

Classdojo is easy to use and connect to students.
I found dojo to be easy to host my classes and assign/check homework

Cons

As I am a teacher for many years I did find this app confusing to start with by soon got use to it. I took some classes online and used it most days so I quickly got use to it.
I found also found the parents at the beginning also were confused but they to ogot use to it.

Class dojo is a great tool for communication between schools and families. It can be broad to include the entire school in a message or narrowed down to specific classrooms or even individual families/students. You can include graphics and pictures with messages as well. Works well for my school.

Pros

It's an effective means of communication between schools and families

Cons

Getting families set up and going it's probably the hardest part about using it. Especially families that are resistant to using it

No email notifications for app users

Not responsive to user needs

Not responsive to user needs

Pros

Child privacy is protected because photos can be shared, but not downloaded.

Cons

There is NO option for email notifications if you use the app. App users get push notifications and if you log out of the app, you will receive email notifications (access through web browser). I receive a gazillion push notifications daily and miss most of them; this is not a reliable way to communicate to parents. ALSO, this limitation is not clearly articulated anywhere on the platform. When I have used the app, I have missed crucial information from my child’s teacher. I asked ClassDojo tech support for email notifications to be added to this system in 2017 and it still has not been done. To make it worse, last month (Aug 2023), they released an update to force users to switch to the app and no longer use the web browser (no ‘X’ on the pop up to download the app from the web browser), which meant no more email notifications. After I complained, they reverted the update to still allow web browser use.

ClassDojo has been really helpful for us as busy parents. This is where we communicate with teachers and the school. We look into classdojo for school announcements, too.

Pros

Very user friendly. It gives us a way to communicate to the teachers either privately or in a group.

You have to purchase so you can save photos.

ClassDojo Review

Reviewed on 2024/05/17

Pros

Oh ClassDojo, The app that blew up during covid-19. Parents were scrambling to figure out how to use the newest "learning" process at HOME! We figure it out with the great help of the school and the tech support of Classdojo. they truly are remarkable people.

Cons

When you would have to submit a "ticket" it could take a while to get to. At first, the app closed out and froze a lot but it was quickly figured out. We have come to love it.

Pros

I like that I can easily see the posts from the teacher each day in my son's class and view what they worked on for the day. I also like being able to receive pictures and video of him when they share.

Cons

I wish there was more functionality used to contact other parents for school party organization and such.

I’ve being using Classdojo for about 7 years since and I don’t know how people could do it before this app! It’s a lot of help for parents like me , who usually have a lot on their plate, making it easy to keep track

My overall experience working with ClassDojo was great. If my child was falling behind or missing an assignment, I could immediately fix the problem. I was able to log on any time I'd like and know how my child was doing. The direct communication with the teacher is a plus as well.

Pros

I not only like the direct contact between parent and teacher, but I like that you can send encouraging words and pictures to your child. Mine loved the little remarks of encouragement.

Cons

I don't have anything bad to say about ClassDojo. It was something provided by the school for free and that is a pro.

ClassDojo is a game changer for any teacher working with kids-teens, its helpful not only in the academic areas but in teaching values as well.

Pros

ClassDojo is really simple to use and implement. Students love it and it gives the teacher and parents a window into the class. Its also very helpful when teaching multiple courses as it serves as a quick reminder when preparing for class.

Cons

I really did not come up with any issues in my time using classdojo, it was simple to use for students, parents and teachers.

The only thing that I dislike about ClassDojo is that as a parent, we're required to use this app to communicate with the teacher, but not all features are available with the free account. I think all features should be readily available if we're required to use the app.

Great For Parent Communication

Reviewed on 2023/11/08

Pros

This is a very unique and nice app in that it allows parents the ease of seeing how their child is doing throughout the day. School can be difficult, but this is a great tool for teachers to quickly state something a student did great today, or something they need to work on. It can be accessed on any mobile device. I personally check on my phone usually, and don't have any problems. It's always fun to see the high fives, and know what they were for.

Cons

Maybe the only con is that I think you can pay to have tokens or something. I can't really recall, so it's not much of a con to myself.

Fun App to Interface with the School

Reviewed on 2023/07/24

Pros

I'd recommend ClassDojo if your teacher uses it. It is a great way to keep in contact with the teacher and other parents on the app. You can direct message and review the group chat boards to see what is going on in the classroom that day/week, see photos of your student, and message the teacher directly with any questions.

Cons

I could not reach out to my student directly on class dojo even though the app seemed like you'd be able to connect. A student version linked to the parent's ClassDojo app would be very helpful. That way, the 'rewards' and other incentives that parents can use on their app would be visible by the child, without giving the child the computer/phone of the parent (our students all have school ipads).

Pros

It's ability to build an amazing classroom feeling while accessing it on-line for students, teachers and families. The positive reinforcements it has encourages learners to strive more and continue to work hard while enjoying their tasks.

Cons

Found that it caused a bit of competition and tension amongst the kids ,which results in kids focusing more on the competition side rather than the learning part .
