  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!)
I do not think it is appropriate for a student to be making behavior decisions on their peers. This would not be a great action as it could open up possibilities for this specific student to be picked on by his peers and for the other students to identify this student for being "teachers pet".
