Carlene Bouley Module 5 Collaboration Task:  Class Dojo

Note: Highlighted area is the score.  If not highlighted it

is Not Applicable.

I was first introduced to Class Dojo when my stepson’s

vocational tech teacher invited me to Class Dojo for

Parents to keep track of his progress at the Tech School.

This is a useful tool for teachers as it allows teachers to

communicate with parents on anything that the students

are doing in the classroom.  One can share videos and

photos of projects.  Additionally, it gives teachers the

capability to direct message parents at any time.  There are

downloadable tools available to communicate to parents

i.e. Parent letter and informational presentations.  It is

free and can work from any device.  The tutorials are easily

accessible and easy to understand.  The limitation that

I see is that it works only as well as the person who uses

it.  My son’s teacher set this up in August and invited parents

however, I have yet to see any updates, messages or

communication from the teacher via Class Dojo.
