The ClassDojo Resolution Contest


In January we asked: "What learning habits, behaviors, or skills do you want to build with your students in 2013? " We were amazed and inspired by all the ways millions of teachers around the world are using ClassDojo to build positive behavior with their students, save time in class and engage their students.

Our winning tweet came from Katie Owen, who teaches K-6 in Illinois:

Read our interview with Katie to hear how she's using ClassDojo in her classroom. Congratulations Katie, and thank you to everyone who participated :)
