So, my new partner and I got together at her house a few days ago to discuss our classroom management plans and iPad apps we were going to incorporate in the first nine weeks of school. I have heard many times and by many teachers, "Only incorporate one program or app at a time. Don't add or introduce another until you and the students are comfortable with that one." This is so hard when we want to incorporate all and now. It's like being a kid in a candy store.
Our decision was to start by using Class Dojo as our classroom management plan and develop our criteria through the PBIS program that we have at school. We can fine tune it as we go along. Next, is to introduce Tap It. We would both love to put forth a little extra effort now and not have to grade as much later. Has anyone used these two apps? Do you have any suggestions? Is it worth going ahead and buying the full version of Tap It? Is there another app that would do the same job or not cost as much?
The joys of being app, happy! Beth Anne Woody
