  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!)
ClassDojo should be operated by the teacher only. The teacher can either take a mental note of the behaviors and update it later or keep a tab open on their computer with Dojo on it and update it when necessary. I do not believe that the other students should be involved when it comes to the students added or deducted points.
