ClassDojo & Tally Pad

Class Dojo & Tally Pad: iPad Apps for Elementary (& ML)


Class Dojo 

Class Dojo is a behavior tracking app primarily aimed at Elementary and Middle Level students. It allows real-time tracking of behaviors in class. It also has the ability to track behavior over time and show a breakdown of behaviors over time.

The image on the right shows the interface where teachers track both positive and negative behaviors throughout a class period.

Behaviors come with default settings but can be customized to fit the needs of teachers or specific courses. Additionally, teachers can share "classes" of students so that student behaviors can be tracked throughout different classes.

Watch the following tutorial for more information. If you use Class Dojo, please comment below on how you use it and how it is working for you. Class Dojo is installed on the classroom iPads at Eagle View but can be installed at the ML (or HS) if requested.
