ClassDojo

What ClassDojo does

ClassDojo is an education app for communication between teachers, parents, and students. Teachers can share classroom updates, photos, videos, and student work, while parents can follow along without waiting for a report card. Students can also build digital portfolios and receive feedback on classroom behaviors such as teamwork or effort.

Who it suits

It is mainly useful for primary and K–12 school communities that want one place for classroom news and parent-teacher messages. Parents get a clearer view of daily school activity, teachers can recognize specific behaviors, and students have a simple space to show their work. Its usefulness depends on whether the child’s school or teacher uses ClassDojo consistently.

Useful sides

• For teachers: Share class stories, communicate with families, and use behavior points to reinforce habits such as working hard and cooperating.
• For parents: See school updates and student projects in one feed, with direct messaging for routine communication.
• For students: Collect classwork in a digital portfolio and take part in a more visible classroom community.

What to consider

The behavior-point approach will not suit every family or classroom. Turning conduct into scores can encourage useful feedback, but it may also make comparisons between students more noticeable. Families may also receive little value if teachers use only a small part of the platform. ClassDojo is rated 4.8 out of 5 from about 1.26 million reviews and has 10,000,000+ installs.
