It is so easy to use! All you do is sign up for an account. Then you create a classroom group. Type in your student's names and they will receive an avatar. You reward students with positive behavior by clicking on the desired positive behavior, in which they receive a point. You can also deduct points for negative behavior.
I would login to my teacher computer and put this on the projector during small group time. I also downloaded the app for iPad. When at the small group table, I could add or deduct points from the small group table! When students earn a positive point, it rings a bell. When they lose a point, it makes a gong sound.
I used a Class Dojo points reward system for prizes. For example, if they earned five points, they get a sticker. 10 points would be a sweet treat. 15 points was no shoes. 20 points would be writing with my crazy pens. 25 points would be chewing gum. 30 points would be lunch with a friend. 35 points would be sit in the teacher's chair. 40 points would be iPad time. Any students who received above that in a month would get bonus prizes.
I reset my Dojo every month and the prizes start all over. I wasn't sure if this would work, but my students loved going through the levels each month.
This has been a lifesaver for me and it has been easy to keep up with consistently.
