18. Another to do with ClassDojo
This is similar to other systems set up in elementary classrooms. One such system moves students on a green, yellow or red color system.
We have had a lower grade class and a upper grade class use ClassDojo
in our school. There have been parents who have monitored their child using ClassDojo
A parent this year ask if the teacher would be using it like last year.
Ideally, prior to using the ClassDojo, parents/guardians have been made aware of the program and had an opportunity to ask questions.
Also, inform your administration that you are using the ClassDojo.

19. SAMR
In looking at the components and the desired outcome from using the ClassDojo, I think this would be identified as substitution. We are substituting one behavior system for another technology based one.
