Personal Learning Summary

Behavorial Management Through Technology

Every teacher needs a behavorial management plan in order to keep their class in order and on task. As teachers we are use to:
  • making charts with close pins
  • checklist system
  • using pocket charts
  • giving out "fake money" or chips
Now with the use of the internet or an application, you can create a behavioral management system using technology. It is called ClassDojo! It gives student points if they are:
  • Staying on task
  • Working hard
  • Being on task
  • Teamwork
You can customize and add additional behavioral tasks according to your class or each student. Students can also recieve negative points as well.
 
 
The above video is a tutorial on how to use it that I found on youtube.com Below are some pictures from my teacher friend who uses ClassDojo and how they set their class up with the exception of the "demo class" I did not want to show the names of his students.
