ClassDojo - Classroom Management Tool - It's for free

I was attending a workshop for the new school that I have joined and I came across ClassDojo. I would be a Grade 7 teacher. I still have to explore the app and the website in detail. But I think it is decent classroom management tool. It has avatars, skill points for you to give as a teacher, and more. Please, all teachers are recommended to see it and please tell me what you can use it for.

MatthewPatrick13 YouTuber = Science Learning + Video Games

I highly recommended seeing videos of MatthewPatrick13, especially if you enjoy seeing gaming YouTube videos. One of my students recommended me this YouTube channel. It already had a lot of videos, I think 420 or so. If you do enjoy, please tell younger kids who are into gaming and not do their school work, or even if they are doing their school work.

Learning the process of how things are made and function is crucial in understanding. It will also develop their critical thinking skills. Have a good day!

Thanks F for sharing, the YouTube channel, I really like it.
