Meghan used her time this week to show us how to use and implement Class Dojo into our own classrooms. She showed us how she uses it and how she assigns points to a number of different categories. Sometimes she will give points for on task behavior, and others she will give points to the class for standing quietly in line. There is a function on class dojo that allows you to take attendance so that you can give points to a whole class, except those who are absent for the day. Students are given the opportunity to choose which "monster" they want as their avatar. Meghan uses a reward system where the students can turn in their points to earn different things throughout the school year. We discussed if students get too competitive during class dojo, and the answer from multiple people was "no." The students were just focused on getting as many points for themselves as they could.
I have slowly started to implement this in my classroom. It has been working very well. Students want points so they work hard in class which is exactly what I wanted to happen.
