ClassDojo 4+

This app is only for schools that are to lazy to give students a google account. There are benefits to use a google account because they can access things like google docs ,google drive , google slides , google sheets, and lots more with there school account Instead of making different accounts. Also google classroom has more features. this app is also very childish and includes paid promotions not like Google classroom google classroom is a very straightforward easy Google class platform you can easily communicate with a teacher or classmates via stream or access their contacts through the people banner plus it’s not a video game with stupid monsters it’s a learning platform I really recommend google classroom as it is much better and for schools and teachers I think you should use it because it makes you seem like a professional school that uses professional software not a monster video game.

I’ve been using class dojo for 8 years now, on and off as my children’s teachers have or haven’t utilised it. It is useful for maintaining communication and sharing school work with teachers remotely in many ways, however I am hating navigating the app to find the particular features I am wanting to use. The more this app has developed and the more the app has been added to, the more complicated and time consuming it has felt trying to use it. Currently I have one child connected to it and using it daily. Private messaging with the teacher is easy enough and has been the most used feature during non-covid times, and at the moment we are able to be notified and view daily work and communication posted by the teachers. Alternatively posting completed school work, photos, viewing class work shared by other students approved by teachers, viewing comments, viewing class streams etc all seem difficult to find quickly. It seems much more complicated than it needs to be. I wouldn’t personally recommend using class dojo despite its good qualities without first looking at alternative platforms that might also be available. A layout rejig and simplification would probably fix these issues for me.

I have absolutely no interest in using class dojo for home parenting/discipline purposes as it doesn’t suit my parenting style. I liked it better when it was geared more toward supporting schooling instead.

Hi Guys
Used this App every school day. I have a son with ADHD and this App helps me and the teachers to communicate quickly and effectively with everything that is happening with my son and his behaviour for that day. Every afternoon I sit with my son and talk about how well he did and if not what he could have done differently. With his behaviour it’s better to talk about this as soon as possible and not wait until I can leave work and organise an appointment with his teacher. I think knowing I view this App daily my son tries really hard to improve the choices he is making everyday. Without this App my son would not tell me what’s happening at school and then some issues might manifest into bigger issues or maybe suspension 😩. Please keep up the great work in creating Apps to open up communications at home. Thank you loving Mum👍🏻
