ClassDojo is an educational app designed to connect teachers, students and parents together. On the app, students can show what they have done, teachers can use the teaching tools for education purpose, and parents can know what their children are doing in school. The app could be regarded as an education community, and school communication become easier with it.
For teachers, ClassDojo helps them to build a positive class culture. They can encourage their students’ skills; they can tell parents what their children are experiencing in the classroom by sharing photos, video or announcements; and teachers can also contact parents by sending them messages on the app, which is of great convenient. What’s more, teachers can find lots of teaching tools to use such as timer, group maker, noise meter, direction, etc.
Parents will also find ClassDojo very helpful, as they can see what their children have done and what they have learned in class easily. More importantly, communication between parents and teachers are more convenient. They don’t have to go to school for communication any more.
Updates of ClassDojo is quite frequent, which is about 5 times a month. Apart from performance improvements and bug fixes, the development team also improve the features of the app frequently. On Mar 4, 2022, the development team has made some improvements to the internal system, to make the app faster and smoother. And on Feb 18, 2022, they have made some improvements on push notifications to enhance user experience.
In the past, communication between teachers and parents were always troublesome, as parents need to go to school first. But before they go to school, they need to discuss the time to meet, and parents need to ask for leave from their jobs. That very troublesome. And now, with ClassDojo, things are much easier. All they need to do is to open the app and send messages. In addition, teachers will share photos and videos of what they have taught, and students will also share what they had done in the app. As a result, parents can master their children’s condition in a short time. Therefore, if you are teachers or parents who haven’t download ClassDojo, I strongly suggest that you should download it as soon as possible.

Pros
- It's a great motivation for children and it's also great for communicating with the teacher.
- With the app, parents could easily see what is going on in the classroom.
Cons
- Some parents complained that the app doesn't tell them which child the teacher is for, which makes it super confusing to know who is sending them a message.
