PurposeSS
Describe the purpose of the web application. What does it do for the teacher? Student? Parent?
To engage kids and connect families, it gave teachers an opportunity to create and keep a
positive culture. Students can showcase their learning by posting pictures and videos on
their account. It keeps the parent involved by letting parents see pictures and videos of
classroom activities.
Link to an Overview VideoSS
Title of Video – One or two sentence description – Update hyperlink for the title
https://youtu.be/RLh9c4jeA_s Classrooms are becoming more and more open with sharing activities and keeping parents
involved by letting them view things class has been over or event class attended.

FeaturesFS
1. Allows students and teachers to look back on their past work through portfolios
2. Allows teachers to post videos, directions, and other documents for lessons
3. Provides direct communication to classmates or parents and teacher
4. Classroom management functions: Timer, Random Pair and Share, Grouping, Noise Meter,

Support AvailableFS
The Teacher Helpdesk, Student Helpdesk, Parent Helpdesk, and Email support are the only means of help. The quality of these

this help is question and answer based; but the services are free.

Pricing ModelSS
Describe the free and/or paid model used by the company. Include cost, major features, and any restrictions associated with each
model.
The entire site is free of charge, and you can communicate with students, and parents as well as view past work in the portfolio
and the class story. There is ClassDojo Plus which provides premium reports, memoirs, unlimited points and rewards and monster
creator. They have a seven day free trial, then the option of a monthly, or annual subscription

Possible ImprovementsFS
1. A possible improvement is developing ClassDojo to be more laptop-friendly. It appears that ClassDojo primarily serves best as
an app on the phone. While the service is useable on laptops, it isn’t as interactive or user-friendly as the phone application.
2. The option of a tutorial video. The video can help newcomers understand how to operate the applications given by their
service, rather than them having to figure it out on their own.
3. As odd as this would be, it is too easy to “join a school.” Join a school is a ClassDojo function that allows teachers to connect
their ClassDojo to its directory. Again, however, it seems too easy to do. Anyone who claims to be a teacher can join any
school.
