Why Class Dojo Is Bad?

ClassDojo gets character education wrong.
ClassDojo judges and labels students by ranking and sorting them and distracts even well-intentioned adults from providing children with the feedback and the guidance they need to learn.

Is ClassDojo good or bad?

Overall: Class Dojo has simplified my teaching and behavior program. My students are motivated to change their monsters by earning a given number of points. No more tangible treasure goody chests etc. My parents love the ability to see how their child is doing and so many positives during the day.

What are the pros and cons of ClassDojo?

ClassDojo
  • Pros: Behavior tracking, teacher resources, design is tailored for elementary school parents, individualized.
  • Cons: Not good for older students, communication is tailored just for parent to teacher, No in-app search feature, Limited coordination/organization tools.
