Class Dojo
Class Dojo is a free app which will bring the school community together. It enables teachers to create a virtual classroom of students. The app could play a big role in classroom management within a HPE setting as it enables teachers to award and take away virtual points for the students. These points can turn into prizes, such as picking the warm up for a lesson. The teacher can also invite parents to see their own child's behaviour and how many points they have scored and why. This is another way in which students could be encouraged to behave as they know their parents can track their behaviour from home. On top of this the teacher can also communicate with parents through the app.
The app also has many other applications such as posting photos,videos, creating teams, checking attendance and allowing students to make their own portfolio of their performance all of which promote good classroom behaviour and a sense of community within the classroom.
I was not able to find a means to apply Class Dojo within my SEPEP Unit, however there would definitely be room to have a Class Dojo going on in the background of the 11 week program to aid in classroom management.
