Classroom Management Technology Applications

EDU 288 OL Module 7: Classroom Management Technology Applications Brooke Kemmet In this day in age, the world is full of helpful devices and apps to help us in all areas of life. Teaching and classroom management is no different. There are so many apps that you can utilize to help you be the best teacher you can be. Two apps that I am reviewing today are Too Noisy and Classroom Carrots. Too Noisy is a simple app that you use as a visual meter to help remind students to keep the noise level at a minimum. The app is a voice sensitivity monitor that teachers can use to help students remember to keep noise at a minimum. When students start to get too loud, the background on the screen changes to indicate that students must be quieter. This is something teachers can use during group times. This creates a reminder without the teacher having to interrupt every few minutes and remind the students to be quiet. They will be able to keep their own voices under control by watching the app. The second one is called Classroom Carrots. This cute app is a behavior management tool used to track rewards. If individual students are behaving and following classroom rules, the teachers are able to offer them electronic stickers and track the progress. Parents are also able to track the progress. This is free and even offers posters to print out to keep up in the classroom. There is an introductory video as well for the students to watch before they start their reward system. This would be nice to use to track positive behavior in younger classrooms or rooms that need to have a little extra help with classroom management.
