Class Dojo is a classroom management tool that allows you to give behavior feedback to students in a timely and efficient manner. It is free to sign up and allows you to add as many classes as you need to. After entering students' names you are ready to project the class onto a whiteboard, smartboard, or laptop. This is what you will see:
During class you can add points for good behavior (types of behavior are easily customizable) or subtract points for less desirable behavior (also customizable). You can do this using a smartphone, tablet, or computer. At the end of class you can email reports to parents or just save the results for your own records. Class Dojo also provides a breakdown of everything that happened during the day.
Finally, you can give students their own accounts that allow them to customize their avatar and check out their points from home. Class Dojo is still adding new features and I am interested to see how it grows and evolves.
Although I'm not teaching yet this seems like a interesting and fun way to help manage classroom behavior. I am interested to hear if anyone has any opinions on how this would work with their students.
