As as administrator, it is a great way to interact with students and give them points at the same time. At lunch, they see us taking our phones out and they know we are issuing points\! They sure have their ID ready to scan\! Teachers love it because they can now recognize students for displaying positive behavior in the classroom. It is starting to encourage students that would not likely participate be an active member of the classroom. It is easy enough to use that, teachers that are hesitant to use this new technology, are adapting positively. The equipment is simple to use also. Students love the incentives, teachers like being recognized for using it (ie. lunch on the principal), and parents are stating that their child talk about HERO K-12 at home. This year we are opening our VIP Lounge. Our campus is only going to get better. Overall it is fantastic\!\!\! You can follow us on Twitter to see what is trending at our campus at \#ccmsthisishowwedoit or \#ccmsbethat1person. > > We have increased the engagment in the classroom and are reducing the negative actions. Students are getting used to the positive expectations. We are facilitating more rather than responsing to negative behavior. ----- ### "It's ok" — 3.0/5 > **Krystal** | *11 December 2017* | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The idea of the system to track points is great. It's a solid way of collecting data and making sure we are reaching our students. > > **Cons**: The app still does not function correctly on phones. We have used this for two years now with the promise that we will be able to use our phones to run the program but there always seems to be something wrong with it so we have to use it from the website and with a barcode scanner. ----- ### "Students have responded for me in an extremely positive way." — 5.0/5 > **James** | *18 July 2017* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that the program rewards positive behaviors and changes the climate of my classroom. I have almost eliminated all classroom disruption. I do not have to do anything to keep my classroom under control. I actually have students that volunteer to do things that they would never have done before. I actually have students who stay behind and clean up my room and organize papers to get those valuable HERO points\!\!\! > > **Cons**: For several months, I wanted the ability to edit the program for my school. Some things were not working properly, but it was due to administration in action and not a fault of the program itself. I do wish that the photo scanner would be upgraded. It is difficult to scan ID tags with the app open. > > Great Classroom Control\!\!\! ----- ### "Improvements in Hero" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *2 April 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I appreciate the improvements that have been made on hero over the past few years. I feel like they have listened to the customers and made changes to help with the ease of use. > > **Cons**: Sometimes giving out points can be cumbersome. The app does not work correctly, it’s much easier to use the system from the website. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/108863/hero?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/108863/hero) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
