Our term 2 survey results showed 93.9% parents connected (49 responses of 65? parents) but we already had a high parent connection from the beginning of the year. 89.9% of parents said they access Class Dojo regularly over the school week.
Daily 38.9% Every couple days 26.5% Weekly 24.5% The results for engagement are based on a ranking of 1 to 5, 5 being the highest. By adding ranking 4 and 5 to get the top percentage, we can see that . . . As a tool for engaging in the school: 53.1% of parents feel Class Dojo engages them in school life (as a whole school communication and engagement method we have had mixed responses, perhaps due to a lack of whole school / parent buy-in and education of the Class Dojo platform). How does this compare to the School App? As a tool for engaging in the class: 77.6% of parents feel Class Dojo engages them in classroom life. This is a much higher response as expected as our Class Story focus is sharing the class live and learning with the parents. As a tool for engaging in their child’s learning: 53.1% of parents feel Class Dojo engages them in their child’s learning. Only half; perhaps because not all students get into Class Story photos equally. Do parents want more engagement related to their child's learning? Then is Student Story the answer, or student blogger? 73.5% parents say they have used Class Messenger for 1-1 communication with the teacher, often out of schools hours. Parents seem to feel more positive about being able to communicate privately with easy texts when needed. However parents still find personal meetings the best ways to stay in touch, but when that is not possible, Class Dojo is the prefered choice. In our analysis last term we discovered that we are using Class Story much more (2 to 4 posts a week) because of the ease of use, plus the responses we can track in Class Story. However we discovered that we had done no class blog posts in that term as a result. While this shows the ease and value of Class Story, the other consideration is that a class blog is an open sharing forum, our window to the world, and without it we are moving back into closed communities. Ideally we want both, as they both have value for parent engagement. Class Story captures learning and life in the classroom for our closed class community, but the class blog allows us to share, teach and model digital citizenship with an global audience.
