A Pleasant Day Thanks to Class Dojo

By Anonymous -


Yesterday I introduced our students to Class Dojo.  I showed them how it works and how they could either be awarded points or lose points for following the classroom rules.  
This is a pretend class, not our class.

 Then, throughout the day I walked around with Class Dojo loaded on our iPad through a browser.  I would often award the whole class for good behavior or take away points from individuals for not following the rules.  
The students really responded to knowing that I was watching their behavior.  We barely had anyone break the rules. 

 At the end of the day I brought up our whole class results which looked like this.  We had a discussion about how we did as a whole group.

 Then I emailed each student their personal results which looked like this.

 Unfortunately, the student emails didn't go through, so I'm thinking it is in the Quarantine Summary for Spam.  

 This site took only a short time to set up and I found it so easy to use.  I won't be using Class Dojo all day every day, but I will for sure consider it a tool to use often for classroom management.

 I highly recommend giving Class Dojo a try.

 UPDATE!!!! THE DOJO APP IS OUT TODAY!!! CLICK HERE!

Concrete poems are words written in a shape to convey a poem. They look like this: Recently I went on a mission to search for a site to use with a fellow colleague and her students. They wanted to make concrete poetry on their Chromebooks. There aren't many sites that allow the user to actually write words into any shape.  There is the Read, Write, Think interactive for Theme Poetry.  Here is what it looks like. The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape. There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click ...

My Blog Makeover - How I Did It

I love change and and rarely do the same thing over and over.  So a blog makeover was  inevitable .  It takes quite a bit to make a blog look completely different, but I have found ways to make it easier on myself. Here are the resources I used to complete my blog makeover.   I found the background at the Dotty Dot Dot blog.  I chose Summer Sunset and simply had to copy the code and insert it.  I found directions on how to do this here .  I could have use the header (the title at the top of a blog) from this site as well, but I decided it was too plain, so I searched for a different header. Shabby Blogs provided me with a header that fit my background perfectly.  I found directions to change my header here . I wanted to add my blog title to the header, so I used a photo editing site called Fotoflexer .  This was the first time I had used this site and I loved it!  I have since used Fotoflexer for some other projec...
