I am able to use it to help keep up with my student's absentees and also their behavior in my classroom. I am better able to show students where they need help in regard to their behavior in my classroom. I also offer incentives for those who are the best behaved at the end of each week, semester, and year.

I have been better able to keep up with student absentees and behavior since using Class Dojo. My students always like it when they get feedback on how they are doing in my class. Parents are also able to track and see how well their students are doing and can schedule a conference with me when the need arises.
I use ClassDojo for tracking attendance each day and also to support positive behavior with my students. This product addresses behaviors and can track certain data needed such as attendance and times of behaviors and how often.
Pros
Attendance tracking
Behavior tracking
Positive rewards
Cons
More graphing to track specific behaviors and when they are occurring.
Too many faces/emojis to choose from.

ClassDojo is a great platform to use in elementary classrooms for encouraging positive behaviors and tracking all kinds of them when they are happening. It rewards students and is easy to use on iPad. It is also great for taking attendance each day.
At our organization, we use ClassDojo to help streamline class attendance and keep track of student behavior. The software is easy to use and provides us with valuable data on class size as well as student progress. Classroom teachers are able to take class attendance quickly using the app and can also post announcements for their classes. We can also track student behavior and quickly identify any issues that need to be addressed. ClassDojo has been an excellent tool for us, as it allows us to improve class attendance and performance in an efficient manner. Additionally, the product is secure and compliant with applicable data privacy regulations. We are happy with implementing ClassDojo and look forward to continuing our use of this great product. Thank you for taking the time to learn about our use case! I would recommend ClassDojo to anyone.
Pros
Takes attendance
Takes accurate notes
Keep information safe.
Cons
Class attendance tracking is currently limited to marking students as absent or present - there isn't any way to track partial absences or tardiness.
Additionally, while ClassDojo allows teachers to send messages directly to students and their parents, there isn't currently any way to send class announcements or general updates.
Likelihood to Recommend
ClassDojo is well suited for keeping class attendance records. It provides teachers with an efficient means of recording student class attendance and absences quickly and accurately. Furthermore, it also allows them to track class participation levels in real-time. This can be especially helpful in classrooms where there are many students or if multiple class periods run at the same time.
This is an amazing software, this gives free and paid version as well which can be very nicely utilized in educational sectors.
We use ClassDojo for various purposes other than attendance tracking. We use to use this software to communicate with parents on what is happening in the School.
During COVID when things completely went online, it was the time we were evaluating softwares which could help us communicate with parents as they would do during the pre pandemic times. During Pre-Panemic times they woudl just come into the schoool check out what there kids are upto and it was easy.
During Panemic the KIDS were not interested having there parents next to them while they do online classes, hence Dojo was a good medium to communicate with the parents and track the attendance of each students which was essentials in providing them with the correct gradings at the end of the term.
Pros
Attendance Tracking
Parent s communication
Activities
Feedback
Cons
Require offline download, hence this can be used in rural areas. When the study materials are published the app just downloads them and keep it ready. Hence when the child does the online learning the bandwidth is saved
Inbox needs to be improved with features
Needs more pictorial icon for small kids who are in KG etc etc
Likelihood to Recommend
This is well suited for educational organization of all kind of sizes as they offer a free version and paid version.
Hence if the parents are willing to pay a small fee they can get some great features, which is really handy.
However when it comes to educational sectors not all country is well connected, I have tried to implement this in countries in Asian region where there is still need of room for internet improvement. This app does not suit well.
So this app is very much dependent on the internet.

The main thing we are using it for is for parent communication. Prior to the Pandemic we used it more to track behavior. We were able to award points for good behavior for them to reach an incentive goal that we had established. The nice thing about the behavior items is that you can customize it for the behaviors you are looking to track or reward.
Pros
Communicate with Parents
Track behaviors
Reward for positive behaviors
Cons
Date and time stamp when parents view a message
Multiple teachers for classes
Likelihood to Recommend
It works really well sending messages to parents. Parents are more likely to respond using class Dojo than standard email or a phone call. It's sometimes difficult for parents to receive and download attachments.
I think it needs to have an engagement piece to track how often parents are interacting through Dojo.
