Oh, how I wish I knew about this app the past two years! I was teaching 3rd grade and last years students were constantly saying they didn't know what to do or told their parents they had to home writing! It's a great tool for taking the "I forgot" excuse away from the students and the "but I didn't know or I would have made him do" excuse from the parents. A big problem for our population would be that they frequently change numbers and emails.
Monitor Behavior
I've used this app before and the kids really like it. They would even remind me when I forgot to turn it on. The problem I had was that the Smartboard was freezing up frequently. I like the app on the iPad better and will now start using it again. Well we are trying to do the Nutured Heart program where your giving students lots of positive feedback but not much to the parents unless students have too many resets or fill out in school success session sheets. This would be a better way for all students and their parents to see their successes. Parents in the past liked it because they could see if it was a certain area that was more challenging for their child. The biggest thing for parents though was daily feedback and that's what they really appreciated.
Utility Apps
Decibel 10th- I checked this out because I have some days that my class volume increases as the day progresses. I thought it might help if students had a visual.
PowerTeacher Mobile-I thought this would be a good one since we use PowerSchool.
Students could use these apps to self monitor and set goals.
