Customize or Update Students' Avatars

Web, iOS, Android

From the Web

There are three main ways you can change your students' avatars using the website. 

Let Students Create Their Own:

1. Open your class
2. Click on the “Portfolios” tab, then select “Student login” from the left side of the screen
3. Follow the prompts to choose how your students will log into their accounts.  Learn more about the different login methods here.  Students will use your chosen login method to create an account and link to you.  Once linked, they can create their own avatars.                          

If you are not seeing student-created avatars you may need to restore them by following these steps: 

1. Open your class and select "Settings" and then "Edit Class"
2. Click on a student
3. Click on their Avatar in the pop-up menu and then select "Restore student-created monster"

Note: Parents will need to provide permission for student accounts prior to an account being fully active.  You can learn more about this here. 

Use the ClassDojo Pre-Created Avatar Sets:

1. Open your class
2. Click "Options" on the right side of the screen and select "Edit Class"
3. Click on the "Students" tab, then on the student for which you'd like to set a new avatar
4. Click on the avatar in the pop-up box
5. Click on one of the pre-created avatars, then click "Done" before selecting “Save” 

Upload Your Own Images to Represent Your Students:

1. Open your class
2. Click "Options" on the right side of the screen and select "Edit Class"

6. Name your new custom avatar set and click on "Create monster set"
7. Click on "Upload Monsters"
8. Drag and drop an image file, or click "Choose File" to select a file from your computer. Continue adding images like this until you're finished, then click on the blue "Upload" button to submit them
