  Case: Class Dojo
To assist with classroom management, I started using an app named Class Dojo. The app assists with documenting both students positive and negative behaviors. The design of the app allows the students and parents to get connected via email or app, and they are able to view their behavior daily. I assign a responsible student to manage the program during class by utilizing my iPad to make the proper behavior notations. Do you think it is fair to allow students who have been proven to be responsible the opportunity to make such documentation with teacher supervision?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
No! I think that the Teacher alone should be responsible for keeping track of the students and not their peers. As a parent I want my child's Teacher in charge. I think that it would seem unfair to the other students and if they are not chosen to do this then they feel like they are not good enough to do so. Keeping track of the students is the Teachers responsibility and you don't want the other students to pick on the student who you put in charge if he or she has to mark them for bad behavior.

Comments: This solution is not going to work in the classroom even with responsible students. The teacher should always be the one who is managing Class Dojo.

Comments: I agree that it is the teachers responsibility to keep track of their students however, allowing students who have demonstrated good behavior consistently should have the opportunity to have a "job" in the classroom. This allows students to feel good about themselves. The students who aren't given this "job" will hopefully be motivated to behave better so they are picked to use this app. Additionally, the teacher should make it clear that the student in charge of the iPhad that day is not to make fun of any student and if that student does then they are banned from this "job" for the remainder of the year. This will allow students to realize they must earn their right to demonstrate responsibility in the classroom and not view it as a punishment for the students with bad behavior.
