What started as a simple point system is now a full-blown ecosystem! In this episode, I sit down with Miranda Ketcham — veteran educator and ClassDojo superuser — to explore how this classroom management tool has evolved into a digital powerhouse for behavior tracking, student reflection, and parent communication. We chat about Dojo Island, the shift from paper notes to real-time feedback, and what it's like to manage classroom culture with a few taps. Oh, and we literally break bread over some pan dulce. Tune in to hear how Miranda has used ClassDojo since 2011 and why she still swears by it today.
