Class Credit is an organized and systematic classroom management system. It utilizes QR codes for a no contact reward system. Class Credit is completely customizable; allowing you to change icons, jobs, rewards, and point values for the different tasks. Individual QR codes are assigned to each student and capabilities to print those QR codes on credit card images are included in the app. Each job and reward also receives an individualized QR code, allowing for quick scanning of the students’ credit cards and then the job or reward for an adjustment in the students’ total point values. Additionally, students can receive point additions or deductions in correspondence with their behavior. A point history is kept for each student for your reference. Furthermore, students can be placed into groups and point additions or deductions can be made to those groups. Class Credit also keeps track of class points. It also goes a step further to abide by FERPA guidelines by allowing you to hide student names and instead reveal student numbers when displaying the students’ individual points to the class. Class Credit was created for the purpose of simplifying teachers’ lives when it comes to organizing and keeping track of your management system. We always welcome your feedback and strive to provide the best apps for teachers and students to support learning and growth.

Verdict
Classroom Hero and Class Credit both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of Classroom Hero's written reviews are positive against 0% of Class Credit's.
