ClassDojo's behavior management program is free, easy to implement, and many students and teachers report liking its game-like quality. Educators simply enter a list of their students names then add certain desired behaviors, such as sitting still, raising a hand in class, or completing homework, as well as undesired behaviors, such as bickering in class, interrupting, or getting off task. From there, teachers can monitor students' performance in real time. When a student performs desired behaviors they receive a point. When they perform an undesired behavior they lose a point. Some educators choose to project students' scores publicly throughout class, while others keep a private tally and share with students as needed. Set up requires nothing more than an email address. Educators may like to begin with the short introductory video that explains how to best utilize the tool.
