Class Dojo is a website that tracks points for both positive and negative behavior. Students receive points for positive behaviors such as being on task, being prepared, participating, and helping others. Negative behavior points are earned for being unprepared, not following directions, and being disrespectful. In addition to individual points, students can receive points as a class. Students tracked their points using a daily tracking sheet. Parents can also be invited to the site in order to view their child's progress and to send messages to the teacher.

GoNoodle is a "brain break" website. This site allows students to take those much-needed mini breaks and "get the sillies out." From brain exercises to yoga, even indoor recess, this site has kinesthetic activites that cover almost every student interest.

"Bouncy Balls" is a rather new website that allows students to actually "see" their volume level in the classroom. Using the microphone in your computer, it reacts to the volume level and displays it on the screen using bouncy balls. The louder the volume, the crazier the bouncy balls get. Other options for display include emojis, bubbles, and eyeballs.

Kahoot! is a website that can be used for both formative assessment or as a class reward. It allows users to create or use "quizzes" in various subject areas (e.g. math, science, RELA, even Harry Potter!). Students love seeing how they can progress and teachers are able to keep track of who is understanding what.
