2.  Would the utilization of Class Dojo improve the overall class behavior?

3.  Class Dojo is an online classroom management tool  Students are each given a monster  The students can either be given points for good choices, or lose points for bad choices  On Fridays, the students can use their points for privileges- taking shoes off, extra recess, sit anywhere, etc.

5.  “The students were talkative, and it was hard to get through a lesson without interruptions.”  “Our class behavior before Class Dojo was inconsistent and often times focused too much on the negative behavior instead of positive.”

8. Did you like Class Dojo?

9.  Did it help with classroom behavior?

10.  Did you log into your student account?

11.  “I love Class Dojo. I love how you have little cute monsters that you can design yourself, and it made my class act a lot better than before.”  “I thought it was awesome. It helped the class.”  “It was cool and some people when from bad to better, good to great, and great to AMAZING! Everyone went up a level. CLASS DOJO!”

12.  “Its kinda cool, but I don’t like the noise of it. It improves our behavior in the class. Well sometimes.”  “I think it is very neat.”  “I think it is awesome! I enjoyed it because we could go home and tell our parents what happened at school that day.”

13.  “I think that it improved how the class behaves and how we walk in the hallway.”  “It improves child behavior and gets us to do more things without being asked. It really entertaining when you customize your monster.”  “It was alright. It just made me a little upset when I go minus points.”

14.  “More people are good.”  “It helps me behave in class.”  “It helped me behave in the classroom.”  “It has really improved our class.”  “I think it is good because you could get points.”  “Is good but when kids do it they cheat sometimes.”

15.  “I think with good points and with bad make kids learn to be good and handle themselves.”  “Very awesome.”  “It helped out it was like a game because it was fun.”  “It’s awesome!”  “The class likes it a lot, and it’s a good thing that we did it.”

16.  “It helped the students learn to be in charge of themselves. I like that the students were more proactive, and I had more time for instruction without distractions.”  “After we began I could tell the kids who were always “good” appreciated more attention being brought o them. It also made the rest of the class more aware of their behavior. They have a better understanding of the consequences for negative behavior and privileges for the positive.”

17.  Overall, the classroom behavior improved from the use of Class Dojo. Our class benefited from the use of this positive behavior tool.
