For my "Cool Tools" presentation. This is a great classroom management tool for any grade level!

2. * A classroom management tool
* Teachers build their classrooms by:
* Creating classes
* Adding students
* Modifying behaviors
* Documenting student behavior
*

3. * Digital way to record student behavior
* Time Stamped
* Easy to share with parent/guardian and others
* There is an app for iPhone and soon Android to
record progress
* Can measure the improvements over time
*

4. * Visual way for students to see and help monitor
their own behavior
* Can personalize with comments
* Balance positives and negatives
* Can monitor class as a whole
* Any and all age groups
*

5. * May distract from the class if constantly on your
phone/Smartboard documenting behaviors
* If on a Smartboard, student confidentiality may
be sacrificed
* Very easy to become distracted with for both
teacher and students (back is turned while
documenting)
* The quickness and easiness comes with general
statements
* Can easily be an obsessive- “I did this, write it
down” deal.
* Can hurt self-esteems if students are
overlooked for certain things
*

6. * Clearly incorporates media and technology into the
classroom
* Focuses learning through helping to monitor behavior
(once documented, behavior is more noticeable)
* Students can learn how the interaction affects others
* Focus on learning content rather than constantly nagging
students to stop this or behave better.
* Problem solving: program helps identify good and bad
behavior, gravitate towards good behavior
* For teachers: helps with organization and so focus
elsewhere on skill, content, teaching strategies, etc.
