About the Project
#Social Media… Is it the Pandemic? Is it a sign of the times? Is it Social Media? Not sure, all we know is this place we call school has turned into a place of fear, sadness, and unhealthy competition to bring others down (to say the least). We centered everything around a student store. There is zero real money involved. Instead, students earn virtual money based off of behavior, assignment completion, etc. Their money is stored in an online banking app made for classrooms. They can then use their money to purchase school supplies, treats, stickers, etc. The best part about this system is that it is controlled by students. The entire store and banking system is monitored by adults but controlled by students. We even have parents checking their child’s bank accounts and the reasons for deposits/withdrawals. It also teaches money management and behavior management.
