ClassDojo




This week we have begun using ClassDojo to help improve focus and to promote excellent work and behaviours. We are focusing in the coming weeks not only on staying on task and participating, but also on the school values: Respect, Responsibility, Honesty and Determination.

You can track your own progress with a student account--you need a 'secret code' for this, which I am providing you. If you haven't received yours, please ask. You can also invite your parents/guardians to track your progress with you. You can either invite them by email or give them the parents' 'secret code' on your ClassDojo sheet.

If that's not exciting enough, you can also track yourself on your phone (or your parent/guardian can!). Just look up ClassDojo in the Play Store for Android, or the App Store for iPhone. Please note, however, that I have had one report so far that the iPhone app for students is not functioning. The parent one is, though.

Why have a student account? Well, once you are fully signed up, you can customise your monster. How cool is that? And more importantly, you can keep track of your own progress.

The website to login as a student is: http://www.classdojo.com/en-GB/

We'll trial this until the end of this term. As always, please do let me know what you think, either in person or here in the comments. Make sure you say your first name and what year you're in so I can give you a more specific response.

Enjoy!
