Week 14 Blog
4.20-4.27

Tonight was the last of the presentations. Meg presented on ClassDojo and she showecased some features on  Dojo that I did not know about. I use Dojo with my high school students and they love it. They range from freshman to Seniors, and I can attest that even the seniors get into the rewards and points system that this BMS provides. The avatars can be customized and the students enjoy personalizing them to fit their personalities. It is a great app to keep track for attendance and other behaviors. The app allows the teacher to generate reports and it is fairly easy to use. If the teacher does decide to use it, they have to ensure it is done every day or cannot forget to give students their points. They will remind you. I like to keep it up on the SmartBoard and have the students add the points when they earn them. It's funny that even the oldest senior gets a kick when the receive points. If any teacher is having doubts using this with high school students, I say go for it. I have and have had great success with it.
