Another Behavior Management Tool
A similar tool to weebehave.com is classdojo.com. It also aims at helping to improve behavior in the classroom. Classdojo allows both positive and negative points. It also enables you to email parents with a daily report for their child. Another feature that I like, is the ability to use a smartphone to access your class and award points through it, instead of just through the computer.

What others have to say about this site:
Teachersfirst.com recommends this site be used for Special Education students as a weekly update on progress. They also recommend that this site benefits those students who have difficulty following rules by evaluating themselves and comparing it to that of the teachers evaluation.
My Example
Here is my "class" that I set up to dabble around with the site.
As you can see, Joe has 2 goals for his day. I have filled in the full amount of spaces, 3, for completing homework and only 2 for starting work. It totals each item and has a mark to signify to teachers whether or not parents have viewed and "signed" off on the chart. Once the daily data is in, there is a Dashboard that allows you to view all of your students progress.

A Behavior Management Tool
Ok so I wasn't quite sure that I liked the idea of having a behavior management tool on the computer as it isn't quite tangible for the kids, but I have shifted my views. This website is taking the place of your behavior charts or sticker charts. Even though there is no paper to be sent home at the end of each day, parents are still able see the status of their child's day. Parents are given a login code and are able to virtually "sign" that they have acknowledged. I definitely think there is a possibility for use of this in my classroom.
Below is a link of directions on how to create an account. Also, take a look at this Bloggers 30-day challenge with 29 other Web 2.0 tools!
Other Uses
Not only can this site be used in the educational context, it can also be used by parents for tracking their child's behavior at home.
