In meiner Schule werden Unterrichtsstörungen meist so behandelt, dass Schüler an die Tafel geschrieben werden. Nach dem dritten Strich gibt es in der Regel eine Sonderaufgabe. Da wir mittlerweile in unseren Tabletklassen kaum noch grüne Tafeln verwenden und auch keine Kreide mehr zu finden ist, habe ich diese App geschrieben. Die Idee kam von unserem Jahrmarkt, wo man mit einer Kugel in ein Loch treffen muss, um sein Kamel in einem Rennen nach vorne zu treiben. In dieser App kann man eine Lerngruppe anlegen und jeder Schüler bekommt ein Kamel zugeordnet. Durch Tippen auf den Schülernamen rückt das Kamel einen Schritt nach vorne. Am Ende gibt es dann einen Pokal (=Extraaufgabe). Die Schritte (= Unterrichtsstörungen) können über das Schuljahr aufsummiert werden. Natürlich kann die App auch für andere Zwecke als für Unterrichtsstörungen verwendet werden.
