      I highlighted the parts of these two green sentences because they are the positive consequences of these improvements to ClassDojo.
  • Students will benefit greatly, too, as it becomes possible to track and reflect on their development across all classes, and even grade levels.

      I highlighted this sentence because we are all in it for our students and these changes will benefit them too. Do you agree? Why or why not?
  • Shared Students enables teachers in the same school to share students across different classes and view their student reports. Individual students can now move between different teachers and classes, but still build on their progress over time. This makes ClassDojo much more feasible for older grades, allowing teachers to better understand how their students are performing in other classes very quickly. Indeed, the company says this has been middle school and high school teachers’ greatest request

      The possibility of tracking a student's behavior over more then one year is interesting to me. Although I wonder if this could lead to a teacher singling out a student for bad behavior because of his or her past. Similar to when teachers from one grade to the next talk about a student coming up. What do you think about this?

    A blog on the new additions to ClassDojo that will encourage collaboration among teachers who share the same students.

    After reading the blog post on the new features of ClassDojo what do you think about these new features and how do you think they will be received by the teachers in your school? This video, http://youtu.be/Yg8NSW3sz_Y has a teacher using ClassDojo in his classroom to manage behavior. Some of the comments are very interesting and there is a lively discussion if it is just a fancy sticker system. What do you think?

    Hi there,

    Your link takes you to this page and not to the article, http://www.edutopia.org/blog/epiphanies-learning-ipad-classroom-alyssa-tormala

    The first thing that comes to mind after reading this article is that the author uses the word "epiphany" rather loosely.

    That being said I liked the blog and I can relate to many of the things that he talked about. Specifically, that the author was as much a learner as the students.

    Another was the use and popularity of the app Notability, we used it a bunch in my class last year. I still like Educreations but I found Notability great for doing all kinds of things.

    The fact that he joined his colleagues to collaborate and learn from each other in a PLC is something that I would like to facilitate at my school.
