I enjoy being able to restrict computers." — 5.0/5 > **Arjun** | *16 March 2018* | Education Management > > **Pros**: Teachers can instantly access one student's screen or the whole class's. I can also block or restrict certain sites. This is especially awesome when we are doing an online quiz. No Googling for answers\! > > **Cons**: Not being able to block spotlight features (Ex: using the calculator through spotlight). Sometimes it lags and it makes it difficult to monitor. This is not the norm, however. ----- ### "When it works, it is really good\!" — 4.0/5 > **Jim** | *17 March 2017* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Does what it says. Very responsive customer service. Flexibility with blocking and allowing sites and apps. Messaging component is a nice "Big Brother" touch. > > **Cons**: Glitchy at times. Some students don't show up. Sometimes slow to work. > > This software actually delivers what it promises. The only negative experiences I've had have been server related, as in when the servers hosting DyKnow go down. There are some quirks, as with any software, but overall I'm satisfied with its reliability and performance. Kids figure out ways around it occasionally, but we have ways of thwarting them. I especially like the way I can quickly switch between blocking plans and have different students, or groups of students, on totally different plans. Some I want to lock down, others will control themselves\! The messaging component is also another favorite feature. ----- ### "Slow with problems" — 3.0/5 > **Pam** | *17 March 2017* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The analytics feature and being able to track what students have been doing. I also use it to show students' work on the screen. > > **Cons**: It works way too slow to use it much in real time. > > I like DyKnow when it is working properly. It may just be our school district's internet, but DyKnow takes so long to load that I end up walking away before I can use it. Also, there are almost always 1-3 students whose computers don't show up on DyKnow. I do like the analytics feature, and the feature to message a student even while I am away from school. If it loaded faster, it would be a lot more useful. ----- ### "Overall, I've had a very positive experience with dyknow over the years." — 5.0/5 > **Josh** | *7 May 2017* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's allowed me to better facilitate learning and accountability in the classroom. I love the diagnostic features which help me know which kids are on task or are not. Also, I enjoy that while students are being "monitored," I don't have to constantly monitor them, which has been my experience with other programs. > > **Cons**: The only main issues I've had with Dyknow have more to do with connectivity and troubleshooting problems. These issues were handled in the IT department as opposed to the classroom. Those problems over the years have grown fewer and fewer as the product and as well as our school internet connections have developed. > > Accountability and less stress in classroom discipline ----- ### "Do You KNOW what your students are doing?" — 5.0/5 > **Amy** | *17 March 2017* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Teachers can instantly access one student's screen or the whole class's. I can also block or restrict certain sites. This is especially awesome when we are doing an online quiz. No Googling for answers\! > > **Cons**: Sometimes it lags and it makes it difficult to monitor. This is not the norm, however. > > DyKnow is a must have for any school that utilizes technology on a regular basis. Yes, it is important that teachers are up and walking around to check what students are doing, but students are VERY sneaky and they can often hide things with just a single swipe. With DyKnow, teachers have instant access to the student across the room or even the student in study hall who SHOULD be working on homework. I've even used it from home when I have a sub so my kids at school know I'm always watching. DyKnow helps students stay on task, and it is an essential tool in a 1:1 school like mine. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/106307/dyknow?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/106307/dyknow) ## 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 | | ----- ## Structured Data
