What's Your Story?

Whoa, I mean, WHOA! Seriously, ClassDojo just keeps getting it right!

As teachers, connecting with parents is one of the most difficult struggles. Being able to connect with parents via ClassDojo Messenger makes that SO much easier for me. But now, they've added yet ANOTHER awesome feature to help parents, teachers, AND students connect - ClassStory.


Think of it as Instagram for the classroom. Every classroom has a story; now, teachers can share that story with pictures and text from the day about what students are learning, and parents can show how much they "like" it by giving hearts! Too cute! - and PS: there were over 60 THOUSAND teachers on the wait list for this feature!

I just posted a link to a Brainpop video on my ClassStory about Labor Day. I offered 3 points to any student who emailed their quiz results to me! How fun is that?! I would have LOVED to interact with my teachers that way!

I have also posted our standards for the week, along with links for at home practice. I'm really looking forward to sending out pics of my students implementing those standards!

ClassStory has taken the, "What did you do at school today?" question to a whole. 'nother. level.


While parents can't always be in the classroom, now they can get an insider's look at what their child's class is doing!

To get access to this new feature, you need a ClassDojo account. If you already have one, just update your app! If you'd like to learn more about ClassStory, click HERE for more information.

So, What's Your Story???
