Tutorial Two
A. ClassDojo
B. I chose this technology because I have learned how important reinforcement
is with learning. This is a quick and easy way for educators to give students
positive feedback through the use of technology.
C. This is a technology that could be used through all grade levels and classes.
D. This App can be modified to fit any class. Reinforced behaviors can be
customized for the specific class. For example, in an elementary school
staying in seats might be important; in middle school showing respect for
others may be emphasized; then in high school participation could be
stressed. At first look the avatars may seem childish but those can be
changed. This technology makes teachers think about what is important and
how to implement into the classroom.
E. ClassDojo is a website and App that allows educators to give students
feedback, in the form of points, on behavior in real-time. This data can be
shared with the staff and parents. This App has other useful features, such as
a timer, random button, and attendance tracker.
F. This tutorial will show how to sign up for ClassDojo, award points for
behavior, and use the other features of this site.
G. The objective of this tutorial is for learners to create a ClassDojo account that
is specific for their class, by means of choosing appropriate behaviors.
