Narration
Hello and welcome to this video tutorial on how to use the
Class Dojo.
Im going to show you how to use class dojo. We are going
to sign up for new users.
You will click on the teacher button. We will sign up as a
teacher.
You will fill in the info using your school email.
We are going to create our class.
I did this part with my class on the smart board. Each
student would come to the board and after I typed their
name, they would choose their avatar.
Once we have added all students click next.
Now we are going to invite parents so that they can keep up
with their childs behavior each day.
The letters can be printed and sent home to parents. This is
what each letter will look like.
Now we will spend some time customizing the behaviors and
skills. I also did this on the smart board with class so that we
could decide on the behaviors together.

11

Click on Add Behavior

We have five rules in our class, so we created a positive and

negative for each rule.

12

Click on point weight

Once you have decided on the points click save.

13

Click on needs work

Now we will decide on the negative points. This is done the

same way.

14

Click finish

Once we have added all points and behaviors.

Click on student

19

Click class dojo

We can now create groups to add points. I did this by table

groups, so If a whole table can be awarded positive or
negative points.
This is almost like a facebook feed for parents and students
to see. If we do something exciting this day I will add it to our
story. Like getting a compliment form an administrator.
The messaging system is a great way to communicate with
parents about behavior. This is also where you can see if parents
have jointed yet.
If you have parents cell phone numbers you can send a text.
There is a wonderful app that also goes along with the
website.
We are going to go back to the home screen.

dojo for the first week in your classroom.

Select Reset Bubbles

This is a tool to mark attendance as well as keep track so that

if points are awarded to the entire class they wont receive
those. Save the attendance.
On this screen you can award multiple students. Lets say I
had a few walking really well in the hallway, I would just
choose those two and add their points.
This is my favorite button. Sometimes as I am teaching a
lesson I will just click random and see who it lands on. In that
moment I will award a positive or negative depending on
their behavior. My students love it! (if they are behaving)
We use the timer many times during our day. Not only for
timing activities, but I will tell my students if they will give me
5 minutes of their best behavior I will award the class with a
point.
Open the dojo invites to connect students and this will give
them a code. With this code they are able to change their
avatar and personalize their account.
This is an option to reset all points. You can make the choice
to reset each day, week, or we do grading period. All data is
still stored.
