In the beginning of the year, I always tell my parents that e-mail is the best way to get a quick response from me. The problem is that I am not on my computer much throughout the day due to teaching and helping students. I sometimes do not even get to my computer at the end of the day. It's a real struggle. However, this year my problem has been solved. Last year, I piloted ClassDojo in my homeroom. The students absolutely loved it, and my parents appreciated the fact that they were getting instant feedback (both positive and negative). The students liked it because they were rewarded for doing good things. I enjoyed it so much that I will be using it with all of my classes this year! On top of using it for a behavioral management system, they have implemented a new feature call "ClassDojo Messenger. To see more about it, click the image below. This will allow me to privately or publicly text parents when something happens. This is all done without giving out my cell phone number or knowing the parents' number. I can use this for reminders, notifications, or even telling a parent how a student did on a particular test in the matter of seconds. So, I am asking you to sign up for it and download the free ClassDojo Messenger on iTunes/Android markets. For more information, please go to

AuthorHere I will keep a journal of different things I have done in my class with some degree of success or failure. It is just important to document why something didn't work as opposed to why something did work. Archives
