Discover Class Dojo

Class Dojo

Class Dojo is an application for English teachers and their pupils. It promotes the participation of pupils.

So, I'll will explain you that as simplier as possible.

• There are 3 versions : one for the teachers, one for the students and one for the parents.
• The teacher gives a password to her pupils. Each pupil creates a little monster with his name.
• Then, when they are all in class, the english teacher adds a point to each student who contributes, by touching the monster on his phone or his computer.

It is a funny way to stimulate the pupils to be more present in class. And the parents can see all the points that their children got. Finally, they can chat with the teacher.

Brangelina's wedding in... France !

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt announced their engagement in April 2012, and they got married on August 23^th, 2014, in the south of France, at their estate Château Miraval in Correns.

It was a family wedding with their six children, aged 3 to 13, taking part. Angelina asked her children to draw pictures of the things they love : family portraits, motorcycles, monsters and animals. The drawings were embroidered on the back of her dress and her veil. That’s an original idea for a wedding dress !
