Great Educational Websites

Class Dojo

You can use to as a method of classroom management. It's basically a point system positive/negative and it tracks the class's as well as individual student's progress anywhere from daily to monthly. You can use these graphs in parent conferences as documentation. Sometimes tracking the progress during class can be tedious, I usually designate a student to manage it for me. They love it! There's also an app on the iPhone/Android
