  Case: Parent-Teacher Communication
Our new administrator is requiring that we call parents about every event and everything going on with school. I feel as though I have too many students and too much work to sit down call every parent about every single thing. Any ideas on ways that I can communicate with every parent without having to call them for everything?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Class dojo works wonders for me in helping me to stay connected with parents. Parents can download this app on their phones and receive notifications in regards to their child's behavior, text back and forth with the teacher, set up conferences, and view what it going on in the school/ classroom via video, photo, or message. I love this source as it serves a classroom management tool, it's easy to use, quick, incorporates technology, and a good form of documentation! I hope this helps and good luck!

Comments: This is a great resource to use for your classroom. The only thing that I would keep in mind is how this system effects the students who do not receive points. This system is visual, all students can physically see how their classmates are doing. For this reason, those students who never make a point, or are constantly getting points taken from them will not view the program in a positive light.

Comments: I love class dojo as a parent and I have seen it work great as a means of communication with parents. It is also a great positive reinforcement for the students as they can earn points and they can even pick their own avatar monster. It is a really neat app.
