I continue to be impressed with the flexibility of ClassDojo, but I have to be just as impressed with the way the ClassDojo team seeks involvement and suggestions from the people who use their product. As a ClassDojo mentor, I get to review new features and provide feedback about their usability. Seeing this feature coming ahead of time has really piqued my interest and confirms that the team is listening to their users for ways to improve the product. The platform is about to get a couple of other big additions, as well, while at all times maintaining its flexibility and simplicity. If you are a teacher who needs to improve communication with parents, if you need to track behaviors, or if you want to positively encourage students, ClassDojo is definitely worth your consideration. And if you would like some help with the program, please feel free to contact me.
Just in time for the new school year, ClassDojo releases their "Groups" feature, today. With this long-awaited feature, teachers can now award team points for cooperative groups, project teams, or table groups. And it's just as easy to use as ever. One of the most exciting aspects of the new feature is that a student may be assigned to multiple groups. If I want to have various reading groups, math groups, performing groups - or whatever - I can assign positive or negative points to those groups and award them. I can also click on a group and award points to a specific member of the group (Maybe a student is displaying especially high levels of leadership.). This is the type of flexibility and simplicity that keeps ClassDojo at the top of my technology list.

A great feature. I look forward to being able to use it and keep my less engaged students on task.

Ms. Russell, I don't know if I understand your questions. I can say that I have stopped calling the points Positive and Negative. Now I call them Green Points and Red Points, and I expect students to work for an 80% positive report for All Time. The class as a whole works to keep everything at 90% or above.
