Class Dojo

I love Class Dojo.  

The students love Class Dojo but they love it even more this year than last year.  The creators have added a portfolio option.  Students are able to write journal entries, video themselves presenting and take photos.  The students will be able to take these accounts with them for future access also.  I also love how the developers have made it so I can post more than one picture per post.  Can I get an AMEN?!!  

Teachers are able to provide classroom incentives for positive points and parents are able to check on positive and negative points.  I love that the system keeps track for you and parents can log in at any time to see how their child is doing.

Some of My Favorite Programs in Technology

I am going to tell you about some of my favorite technology programs I have found.

Reading:

  I love NEWELA and Readworks.  I have the free subscriptions and find so many useful materials to use in the classroom.

  I will be using WhoosReading this year.  It is like the Accelerated Reading program but FREE!!

Epic is another great website.  It is free for educators and free for students to use while in the classroom.  They are having a great summer sale for families also.

Math:

  Prodigy .   Students earn rewards and can battle each other just for practicing math facts!

Behavior:

      I use ClassDojo and love how interactive this program is.  The writers are now including a portfolio aspect and students think it is really fun to add pictures and journal entries.

GONOODLE, such a fun program to get moving and those wiggles out.  It is free and amazing.

Science:

   MysteryScience.  Teachers can get a free year of cool science interactive lessons!  I had it this year and it was amazing.

Social Studies:

Seterra, such a fun program for kids.  This site has lots of interactive geography games.
