How Students can Log in to ClassDojo

There are numerous ways you can help your students log into their student accounts. Once students are logged into their ClassDojo student account, they can create Portfolio posts (i.e. take a photo, record a video, draw, or write a text entry), customize their monster, and view their report. Learn about the different ways to do this from the web and the app below!

Web Login Options

There are 5 ways students can log in to their ClassDojo student account on the Web:

  1. Scanning a QR code (recommended for classrooms with camera-enabled devices)
  2. Entering a 6-character text code (recommended for classrooms that lack cameras)
  3. Signing in with a Google account (recommended for classrooms with Chromebooks)
  4. Using their individual link (recommended for students with 1:1 computers)
  5. Toggling from the parent’s account (recommended for any type of at-home device)

To select a login method for your students:

  • Log into your ClassDojo teacher account on the Web: https://teach.classdojo.com/
  • Select a class and tap "Options" > "Edit Class"
  • Select your student login method
     

Note: You will see a pop-up appear the first time you choose a login method, by agreeing, you are indicating you have the proper parental consent for students to have a Student Account for this class.

QR code

This option is recommended for classrooms with shared devices that have back-facing cameras (i.e. iPads), but can be used on laptops & Chromebooks. You can use an individual or class QR code.

  1. Print off your class QR code and hang it at eye-level so your students can easily scan it on their device
  2. Go to dojo.me and click "scan QR code"
  3. Position the class or individual QR code inside the white corners
  4. Select student's name from the class list if using the class QR code or log directly into the student's account with the individual QR code
💡 QR Code Troubleshooting Tips

If you're having an issue scanning the class or individual QR code:

  • Ensure that you're connected to the internet
  • Ensure that your internet connection is stable
  • If possible, try switching between WiFi and cellular data to get a stronger, more stable connection. Note: If you're getting a red flashing box when trying to scan, it indicates that your connectivity is too low
  • If you're having trouble logging in at school, try scanning the class or individual QR code from home
