So What’s the Difference Between
ClassDojo and ClassTag?
Although there are some pretty big differences with the features and
functions, we think the biggest difference comes down to philosophy
Transactional Teaching
With ClassDojo, you reward or punish students with Dojo points
ClassDojo’s claim to fame is Dojo Points, their in-class behavior management tool. Students can earn points for good behavior or lose them for bad. While some teachers love this, there’s a lot of controversy, and some teachers and parents feel it causes more problems than it solves.
Dojo helps you incentivize students
Rewarding or punishing students with Dojo Points can be an effective way to manage behavior, but it often times ends in shame, guilt and embarrassment for students who struggle. Hence why many teachers advocate different ways to manage behavior.
Community Supported Teaching
With ClassTag, you can help students succeed by partnering with parents
ClassTag takes a different approach. Rather than focusing on kids earning points, we help teachers get 100% of parents involved in their kids' education. We believe this is the best way to help students succeed.
ClassTag helps you build meaningful relationships
So, long story short, if you believe deep relationships and parent engagement are the keys to student success, you’re in the right place. We created ClassTag for you.
“ClassTag is transformational. I have never seen this level of parent engagement. A must-have tool for every teacher!!”
