You could use it for a group activity
The first 100 scans are free. After that, it is $7.00 a year for unlimited scans.

Class Dojo - Positive Classroom Behavior Management

Mrs. Mcoy and Ms. Rainwater uses this site to improve behavior in their classroom. You create classes and project it on the board. You can award points for good behavior and deduct points for not so good behavior (some positve and negative numbers in there). Mrs. McCoy and Ms. Rainwater have created a point sysytem to redeem points earned with things like computer time, seat in the teacher chair time, or a pencil. Below is a screen shot of what a class may look like. You can send students and parents a code for them to see how the points are adding up. Just click the link above and check it out. Please contact Mrs. McCoy if you have any questions.
