Throughout this week, I learned of a fantastic tool used in the classroom. I currently teach kindergarten and have struggled to keep up with daily emails and phone calls from new parents. Yesterday, a colleague told me about this wonderful app called ClassDojo. Like the app Remind (which some might already be familiar with), this app allows you to message parents back and forth and send out class reminders without using a personal phone number. Unlike Remind, this app allows the teacher, such as myself, to send photos of their student's achievements during the day. The BEST feature of this app is that it allows for students to be engaged too! Students can make a profile and upload individual work or images of what they are proud of. This app brings together teachers, families, and students at once. It is terrific, and I highly recommend every teacher (especially for younger ages) to use it!
