Overview
Pocket Points can be a class wide incentive based program for cellphone use.

The teacher & students utilize an app on their phone that tracks successful time it removes off and not viewed.
Rewards can be motivational, class wide, or prizes.

Connection
If the need is connection then the incentive system used within the program should be community based over individual.
Skills Training
If the need is skill building then the students should practice keeping their phone or technology usage away.
Awareness
If the need is awareness then students may be prompted or notified through the program of the amount of time they have not used their device.
Emotional Regulation
If the need is regulation then substitute coping strategies must be practiced and offered for when students need a break or feel the urge to use their device.
