Introducing Vivo

A Teacher Guide

What is Vivo?

• Vivo is an online rewards system • Teachers award pupils Vivos (electronic points) for good work, effort etc.

• Students save and spend their Vivos on the rewards they want from an online catalogue • Every student gets a personalised Vivo card, very much like a bank card • Students can check their Vivo balance by logging on to their account through the vivojunior.com website (for primary schools) or vivoedge.com website (for all others)
