Graphite | The best apps, games, websites, and digital curricula rated for learning. ClassDojo. ClassDojo is a tool used by millions of teachers, parents and students to improve student behavior and build character strengths, at school and at home. Teachers can invite students and parents into the system to collaborate on building positive behavior, and it is free for teachers. According to the company, in some classrooms teachers can spend more than 50% of their time managing student behavior rather than delivering instructional content. It aims to reduce that time so that teachers can spend more time teaching. Based upon the notion that the quicker the feedback for a given action, the greater the effect of that reinforcement, ClassDojo allows teachers to encourage and reinforce positive behaviors when they occur, by giving students positive feedback points.

The specific behaviors can be customized by the teacher. To use ClassDojo, teachers need access to the web and a web-enabled device (a laptop, smartphone, tablet, etc.).

OLYMPIA, Wash. – The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (Smarter Balanced) today released a technology planning framework for member states preparing to implement the assessment system in the 2014-15 school year.

The framework, developed by Navigation North on behalf of the Consortium, provides minimum hardware specifications and basic bandwidth calculations that will allow schools and districts to evaluate which of their existing devices will support the administration of next-generation assessments. “The Smarter Balanced assessment system leverages technology to give schools and teachers more accurate information about student achievement and progress toward college and career readiness,” said Tony Alpert, chief operating officer of Smarter Balanced.

“We’ve collaborated with technology partners, American Institutes for Research, member states, and school districts to design an efficient, computer adaptive, online testing platform that will work in schools.”
