Say hi to Class Story!

As of last Thursday (06-08-15), ClassDojo launched their latest feature: Class Story. It's a new, and fun way to share with everyone what you and your kiddos are up to! Class newsletters aren't so hard anymore. Reminders just got easier. Sharing success stories is even more exciting now. Wow!

Along with the usual text that you'd normally send, now you can include photos and videos too. You can still see which parents have read it, and they also have a heart to click on if they like a post. I do like that one.

What I most love about this feature is that I can send reminders with a picture! I do this because it takes away the "pestering" feel that reminders are often associated with. And you know what? You could get really creative and send newsletter items over Dojo. Saves you some time, but also ensures that everyone's going to read it!

As a specialist teacher, I love being able to communicate with parents who I don't get to see all that often. Sometimes though, I do wish I was back in the classroom so that I could implement some other amazing ideas I have (what do you mean? Of course they're amazing!). I'm sure the parents would love to see those! But alas, they shall have to keep dealing with my Science posts. Which really, aren't all that bad...

I do apologise that this is such a short post :( And I do remember that I promised more on Groups as well. So you know... They will come!!! In the mean time though, go get re-acquainted with Dojo :)
