Feedly Article #3 - ClassDojo Introduces Groups...More to Come

In the article, ClassDojo Introduces Groups...More to Come, the author discussed the new features that ClassDojo is adding to their product. ClassDojo is an app for teachers to use that will help encourage participation by students in the classroom. Though the app has already been released, ClassDojo is improving the app. Now, teachers will be able to put students into groups within the app. For example, teachers may group students by which table they are sitting at, and encourage collaboration by tables. This new feature will promote teamwork in the classroom.

After reviewing ClassDojo for our previous technology review project, I knew I would like to use ClassDojo in the classroom, then. This article made me excited to know that there will be even more features to use with ClassDojo as a teacher. I plan to use this technology as an incentive for students to model good behavior in the classroom. I plan on accomplishing this by having rewards for students to be able to purchase with their ClassDojo points. I understand that some students will not be influenced by ClassDojo at first. Hopefully, they will see other students receive rewards from their points, and want to change their behavior to receive rewards as well.
