Teachers use the app to keep parents up to date on student progress and daily classroom activities. ClassDojo is free for all users and available across many desktop and mobile platforms.<\/p>\n<p>ClassDojo has been translated into 35 languages in 180 countries.\u00a0 The management system has penetrated 90% of U.S. schools.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Criticism of ClassDojo as a behavioral management system include the focus on extrinsic versus intrinsic reward systems as well as concerns about online privacy.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:post-content --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Click on these links to learn more about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RYeKBOMr5Mo\" target=\"_blank\"
