I feel this fits in the 'Augmentation' section of the SAMR. It enhances your current Behavioural Management strategies, but does not replace. If I was still in the classroom, I would definitely be using this resource.

This software is currently being used at my children's school. It is like an electronic version of giving out 'stickers', etc for good behaviour. Each day I can see how well my children performed in the classroom and each week a report is generated and emailed to me. This is used in conjunction with an interactive whiteboard, where the children can touch their name/dojo character and give themselves a point for hard work, etc.
Magical idea, Luv it. Will save a small fortune for teachers worldwide, as we tend to buy these incentives from our own back pockets in an attempt to engage kids in our classes. Even as a pre-service teacher the little buggers have already cost me......
This is a great tool...I have tested on my own kids lol. Just received an email recently stating that this app can now be used "school wide" as opposed to just in one classroom. Therefore teachers can share behaviour management strategies throughout the school.
Class Dojo is often held up as a good example. This post offers a good critique of Class Dojo and the problems it creates. There are also some suggestions about what you can do instead.
