ClassDojo is Nice but Can be a Bit Hard to Navigate
I have been a user of ClassDojo as a parent of a child in elementary and middle school. I loved being able to contact her teachers both privately and in a post on the class feed and be responded to quickly. I also liked the reminders for things like Theme Days and Spirit Week. Getting pics of the kids in the middle of the day was always a source of joy for me.On the con side, the app is a little clunky and can be difficult to navigate. I am fairly tech-savvy and have used a lot of team/communication apps in my day and I find that this is common. It's usually because these types of apps offer a lot of features and can be a little too much sometimes. Overall, I was glad to have ClassDojo as a resource and was a bit let down when my kiddo switched schools and they just use email. It felt like a step back. The small issues with ClassDojo are easy fixes, like the difficulty I found in selecting my avatar or finding older chats.
Pros
At the moment updates about my child or her class. Able to receive private messages and general sort of newsfeed updates as well as pics. Helpful reminders.
Cons
It can a bit difficult to navigate on the mobile version. Had difficulty setting up an avatar, for example.

ClassDojo Review
Pros
Oh ClassDojo, The app that blew up during covid-19. Parents were scrambling to figure out how to use the newest "learning" process at HOME! We figure it out with the great help of the school and the tech support of Classdojo. they truly are remarkable people.
Cons
When you would have to submit a "ticket" it could take a while to get to. At first, the app closed out and froze a lot but it was quickly figured out. We have come to love it.

Quick access to contact teachers and parents
Pros
I like that I can easily see the posts from the teacher each day in my son's class and view what they worked on for the day. I also like being able to receive pictures and video of him when they share.
Cons
I wish there was more functionality used to contact other parents for school party organization and such.

Encouraging your child to be Successful
My overall experience working with ClassDojo was great. If my child was falling behind or missing an assignment, I could immediately fix the problem. I was able to log on any time I'd like and know how my child was doing. The direct communication with the teacher is a plus as well.
Pros
I not only like the direct contact between parent and teacher, but I like that you can send encouraging words and pictures to your child. Mine loved the little remarks of encouragement.
Cons
I don't have anything bad to say about ClassDojo. It was something provided by the school for free and that is a pro.

ClassDojo is a life saver
I haven’t had any issues with it, parents tell me everyday how much they love it that they can always get ahold of me
Pros
I find it so easy to use, very user friendly for both educators and parents. It’s easy to communicate to parents as well, all contact information is right through the app, making my job a lot less complicated.
Cons
It has a lot of pop ups, you just have to X out of them, they may be advertisements or just the way the app is.

Class Dojo for Parent Teacher Communication
It is a great tool for parent teacher communication and staying up to date on your child's schooling.

Sometimes the push notifications don't come through and i might get information later than I would have liked.

Great way to stay in the know with your childrens Teacher!
My overall experience with ClassDojo has been great. I have no complaints.
Pros
I love that this is a convenient want to communicate with my childrens teacher if i need to get a message to her or them. I also love that I can scroll through the feed and see any pictures the teachers has posted of activities that the class has been doing recently.
Cons
The only thing that I dislike about ClassDojo is that as a parent, we're required to use this app to communicate with the teacher, but not all features are available with the free account. I think all features should be readily available if we're required to use the app.

Class Dojo
Very happy with this program. I am able to stay informed of school activities as well as chil’ren progress or needs.
Pros
Class Dojo allows me to stay up to date on school activities, assignments but most of all allows me to message my child’s teacher which is much faster than leaving a voicemail.
Cons
For whatever reason, I’m not alerted when I have a message from the teacher and will miss it unless I just happen to check it.

Positive Behavior Incentive
Overall, I highly recommend Class Dojo to other middle school teachers. It is a useful tool that can be customized to fit the needs of any classroom, and it has made communication with both students and parents much easier and more efficient.
Pros
Class Dojo is a great tool that allows me to quickly and efficiently reinforce positive behaviors in my classroom. It allows me to easily communicate with parents about their child's behavior. Another great tool is the ability to track behaviors over time.
Cons
Customizable reports could be helpful. The basic reports are fine, but being able to tailor them to my specific needs would be great.

Easy to See how Student is Doing
Good. Easy to understand unless you want to do more and give more rewards to your child for doing well in school
Pros
Love that I can communicate with my student's/child's teacher and see what they are being rewarded for in class
Cons
That you have to pay to upgrade. I don't like that as a parent-I understand for teachers but not for parents

Amazing Software for Educators.
My overall experience with ClassDojo is positive. It's one of the best programs that I have ever used as a teacher. It helps parents and teachers to stay in contact throughout the day. It helps motivate students to work to their full potential.
Pros
ClassDojo is one of the best software teachers have available for their classrooms. Every school district should have this integrated. I like most that I can keep parents informed about their students throughout the day. I love that I can upload pictures of the students working on assignments. I have noticed that parents love being able to see what we are doing for the day. I also like that parents can participate by giving their children points for doing activities around the house. It does not have to be things for school but things like going to bed, cleaning up toys, or eating dinner.
Cons
Absolutely nothing. I can not think of one negative thing to say about ClassDojo.

"ClassDojo" for Classroom Management
Our Program's overall experience with "ClassDojo" has been a success between the student's Families and Teachers.
Pros
Our Program find "ClassDojo" to be a very resilient digital tool to support Families and Teachers to enhance their student's learning and behavior.
Cons
What our Program found least about "ClassDojo" to assist our staff members would be the "Attendance Tracking" due to our Program having already established an attendance tracking system; however, if we didn't, we would gladly use "ClassDojo" Attendance Tracking.

My Childrens School Experience at my fingertips
Overall ClassDojo is the best teacher messaging app available, as I've said we've used 2 other apps and they were clunky and not as user-friendly as ClassDojo.
Pros
I like that in ClassDojo my sons teacher has the ability to message myself and their mother at that same time and we can have a group chat. We get information about homework, classwork, and any issues that are arising at school. We get messages from the principal and support staff too about school events and the level of communication is unmatched. We were using a couple of other apps previously and they don't compare with the ease of use of ClassDojo. The kids even get their own user interface and experience. My children are too young for this feature but not for long.
Cons
There is a free version, which we use currently but getting setup can be challenging especially when the teacher doesn't share the correct codes.. You can't just type the teachers name to get added you have to have their invite code. It's good for security but somewhat inconvenient.

Great for Parents!
My overall experience with ClassDojo has been great. It helps me keep track of what my daughter is doing in her classroom.
Pros
ClassDojo is the perfect application for parents and teachers to interact. Teachers can easily give parents updates on how their child is progressing in class. Teachers can upload pictures of the students, they can keep track of assignments, and they can give students points for doing activities around the classroom and at home. My child is in elementary school and her teacher has ClassDojo. Every day my daughter wants me to check how many points she received each day. It feels like a game for them. I like that, as a parent, I can give her points for brushing her teeth, eating all her food, and going to bed each night. ClassDojo helps motivate my daughter to do well in everything she does.
Cons
The only con would be you need to pay for a subscription to get all of the bells and whistles.

This app is literally like a teacher's best friend. It makes communicating with parents a breeze and there is always a record on the conversation. It encourages positive student behavior and makes classroom management so much easier. To top it all off, the students LOVE IT!

The more practical way of keep on track with the school life
I’ve being using Classdojo for about 7 years since and I don’t know how people could do it before this app! It’s a lot of help for parents like me , who usually have a lot on their plate, making it easy to keep track
Pros
What I like most about classdojo is the feeling of not missing out anything important happening at school simply because all the dates, information and necessary communications with the school are on this same platform
Cons
I’m honestly satisfied with everything about the add

Great app for Parents, Nanny's, kids and Teachers!!!
My overall experience is great! I love the app because i get to see what my host kid is doing on a daily bases. It helps me keep track of all her homework she has to do especially on her remote school days.
Pros
It has features like showing us a child's progress at school, giving them chores and tells the parent if the child did good or not. It also provides information on what the teachers want the parents to be informed of on a daily bases. Parents are able to interact with the teachers as they post on a daily bases of what the kids are doing and I love that! I also appreciate being informed on the message app about any important information on a student fro example if the student had not completed a certain section of homework that they need to by its due date.
Cons
I cant really say that i have a least favorite thing to say about the app...other than its a great to to use, especially for parents and teachers to be able to communicate easily with one another. It would be great to add more languages onto the app as some parents or nanny's who use the app might not be so good at understanding English. It would be great to add a better rewards system for kids who cannot attend school on a specific day due to being ill or sick, and the child can catch up or do all activities that needed to be done on that day.

Great tool for teachers
Class dojo is a great tool for communication between schools and families. It can be broad to include the entire school in a message or narrowed down to specific classrooms or even individual families/students. You can include graphics and pictures with messages as well. Works well for my school.
Pros
It's an effective means of communication between schools and families
Cons
Getting families set up and going it's probably the hardest part about using it. Especially families that are resistant to using it

Class Dojo - when my kids were in school
Class Dojo helped me stay in touch with what my child was doing. I was able to locate what assignments were missing and what my child might have not turned in and then I could directly communicate with my child about the missing subject without really having to bother the teacher throughout the day.
Pros
Class Dojo allowed me to know in a snapshot of where my child was in their learning. I was able to locate what studies they were doing and if he or she was missing an assignment and it helped keep the communication open between me, the parent, and the teacher.
Cons
Sometimes, I had a hard time logging in, but that might have just me and my age of using electronics. Once, I was signed it, it was easy to use.

ClassDojo helps keep communication open with parents
It is worth every bit of time getting on there to have a good relationship with the parents.
Pros
As a teacher I now find it simpler to exchange various updates and images with my parents thanks to ClassDojo. I have been using ClassDojo around 2-3 years now and have only slightly had issues, which were mostly navigating the site. But using ClassDojo has not only kept me in contact with parents but their homeroom teachers as well, and lets me posts the fun things my students do when I have them in my classes.
Cons
I seem to get easily lost when trying to navigate the site. I think the screen can be too busy so I overlook the particular thing I am looking for.

Royal history review of ClassDojo
Pros
Classdojo is easy to use and connect to students.
I found dojo to be easy to host my classes and assign/check homework
Cons
As I am a teacher for many years I did find this app confusing to start with by soon got use to it. I took some classes online and used it most days so I quickly got use to it.
I found also found the parents at the beginning also were confused but they to ogot use to it.
