 Hello again Fellas Today I bring you a series of very useful tools to carry out in the classroom. Let's start! ClassDojo:  With this application we can create our own classroom in a gamified way, where each student will have a pretty and cool monster as a character. The idea is to reward behaviors in class as well as penalize bad actions to make the student aware and promote improvements. ClassCraft The gamification game in the classroom par excellence, where each user will form teams with their classmates and will have different roles.
