Although this app was originally launched in 2011, ClassDojo 2.0 has since grown to do so much more than a tool to help teach good behavioural traits. Now it's envisioned to be more of a community for teachers, parents and students. With $21 million in Series B investments, the ClassDojo 2.0 app will be able to become much more sophisticated. So much so it might be able to eliminate parent-teacher meetings all together.
ClassDojo 2.0 is essentially a social media platform with a much more professional twist. Tech Crunch writes, "Teachers use ClassDojo to make a schedule of activities known to parents, usually daily. They can also use the app throughout the day to snap and send photos or videos to parents showing off a student’s latest work or participation in activities."
