  ### 30. A Teacher's Best Friend

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2021

**What do you like best about Dyknow Classroom?**

I like being able to see exactly what my students can see. This helps me easily help when they have questions, especially during distance learning.

Lastly, being able to send messages and links easily streamlines our class and helps my 2nd grade students get to the necessary websites without typing long URLs.

  ### 31. Excellent platform for online study.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Fabian L. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2020

**What do you like best about Dyknow Classroom?**

Helps students concentrate on their own technology boost work. It helps to prevent and deter cheating tests. I like permission only because the students find it difficult to prevent new sites for the game, notably the Google website. We can also communicate with the teachers directly and privately.

**What do you dislike about Dyknow Classroom?**

I don't like the time they gave us. All day, I leave my laptop all day, students on and off their machines. It encourages other students to follow the rules and to visit places before they know that the class is scheduled. Your phone is difficult for me to switch. I don't like that even "outside the browser." I don't know what it means actually and it frustrates the students. I know that a message can be received by teachers.

**Recommendations to others considering Dyknow Classroom:**

It's very social and creative, I suggest using this site. Dyknow is a great program to shut down incorrect laptops. The software will also track places that can be forwarded to students in real time and online. This is your program if you need something that can be used easily and select students who require different lock plans. Know that students track them to be watched more.

**What problems is Dyknow Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This product helps me to concentrate in class as teachers ensure their Chromebooks are used by students to work. You know that you are spending less time doing stuff, so you can promptly notify us or register a account. It helps teachers to remind absent students about missed assignments on their machines. Another advantage is that you can see what you do online.

I like how Dyknow keeps a record of what websites my students visited during the session. Even if I wasn't paying attention to their thumbnail, I can see whether they were on task as I review later.

**What do you dislike about Dyknow Classroom?**

There isn't much to dislike but it would be nice to schedule sessions so I didn't forget to end it.

**What problems is Dyknow Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am able to record the websites students are using while taking tests and quizzes.

**What do you like best about Dyknow Classroom?**

I like that I can see students' screens and send them messages directly.

**What do you dislike about Dyknow Classroom?**

Dyknow tends to. be slow and freeze up. It also has glitched a few times where students' screens become unintentionally locked.

**What problems is Dyknow Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have had problems with students' screens becoming locked and not being able to unlock. I realized that it is very helpful to. be able to send individual messages OR to send a message to the whole group.

  ### 38. 5th Grade Teacher

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2021

**What do you like best about Dyknow Classroom?**

I like that I am able to block websites and send messages to multiply kids at once.

**What do you dislike about Dyknow Classroom?**

If there are co-teachers in a room, you have to make sure you are both monitoring the same exact class or both can't view. It would be helpful to have more than two teachers being able to monitor.

**What problems is Dyknow Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The benefits are that you are able to block activities. I also like that I can see exactly what they are doing so I am able to make sure they are on the right website/activity. I also use it to monitor their writing. I can see them all typing and read what they are typing.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2021

**What do you like best about Dyknow Classroom?**

I like the ability to see what the students are working on and guild them if they do not know where to find something.

**What do you dislike about Dyknow Classroom?**

That I can't see one of my students while another teacher in  my building is watching them. There needs to be a feature allowing both.

**What problems is Dyknow Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Students no longer can play games during class time. I can guide students to areas when they are offtask.

  ### 40. Keeping Students Accountable

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 20, 2020

**What do you like best about Dyknow Classroom?**

Being able to see what the students see
Being able to send private messages that pop up on student screens

**What do you dislike about Dyknow Classroom?**

Feels a little delayed when going from one student to another.  Not being able to see students who don't have school issued equipment.

**Recommendations to others considering Dyknow Classroom:**

Students have to be on a managed system...distance learning could be hard if students are using different devices.

**What problems is Dyknow Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Keeping distracted students on track, even in Distance Learning.

  ### 41. Dyknow is extremely helpful in the virtual classroom setting.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2021

**What do you like best about Dyknow Classroom?**

The ability to let students know I can see what they are doing and can direct them into the right direction.

**What do you dislike about Dyknow Classroom?**

Dyknow can be laggy at times and you have to refresh.

**Recommendations to others considering Dyknow Classroom:**

It works!

**What problems is Dyknow Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?**

All of my students are virtual (120).  I could tell some students were cheating on assessments or were signing in to the meet and not paying attention.  Within the first 5 mins of use, I was able to block a very inappropriate site. Immediate Chat support and follow up.  I was one of the first in our school to use Dyknow and I had to explain to others how to access and use it.

  ### 42. Dyknow - Did You Know?

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Hannah C. | Teacher, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2019

**What do you like best about Dyknow Classroom?**

What I like best about Dyknow is that you can: monitor students without breathing down their neck, multitask while using (you can pull it up and leave it open), use as documentation for parents and students to track progress and on task behavior, and able to see an overview of students on one screen. If you want to print out student data, you can. Students can analyze their actions when compared to the amount of the work they have completed.

**What do you dislike about Dyknow Classroom?**

What I don't love about DyKnow is that the classes are sometimes misnamed and you can't shift students into custom classes very easily. For example, if you are monitoring a group of students that are not in your preset classes, it takes time to shift them around into a separate group, if you are able to do that at all.

**Recommendations to others considering Dyknow Classroom:**

I recommend that this tool is not used for consequences but rather for self-reflection of the student and for parental support. This tool is something that is meant to help, not catch students being off task.

**What problems is Dyknow Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The problems I am solving with Dyknow is that it acts as a self-regulator for students. Students are aware so even if Dyknow isn't used - they don't know always know it. I don't use it to scare students or to catch them off task but it does help with the snapping back of attention and on task behavior. This is something middle school students need help with so I think Dyknow does a good job of helping students focus their attention to the task at hand when they look at their data firsthand.

  ### 43. Great product for online classes.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Colas P. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2020

**What do you like best about Dyknow Classroom?**

I like Dyknow most: You can control students without respiration. You can pick it up and leave it open, use it to track progress and the behaviour, and display the rundown of the students on the screen as feedback for parents and teachers. You can do it if you want to print the student info. Students should evaluate their behavior in relation to their job. I 'm glad to use Dyknow to remotely track student digital assignments.

**What do you dislike about Dyknow Classroom?**

DyKnow does not like me because classes have a wrong name sometimes and you can not change students very quickly into customized classes. For example, it takes time to transfer students to a different category if you are tracking a group of students who are not in their predefined schools.

**Recommendations to others considering Dyknow Classroom:**

This tool for self-reflection and parental support. The aim of this tool is to assist. I would certainly recommend this product, which is easy to implement and works very well.

**What problems is Dyknow Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Dyknow serves as a student's self-regulator. Students know, they do not always learn, even though Dyknow is not being used. I'm not doing it to threaten or lure students away from homework, but it helps to restore focus and homework behaviour. Support students respond and hold their questions at work. Enable students to limit their use of technology during training. If they have a clear lock-out / monitoring program, the majority of students are not versatile enough and are only distracted from their work at a school. The monitoring strategies of Dyknow allow him to stay concentrated and focussed.

  ### 44. Invaluable Resource

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2021

**What do you like best about Dyknow Classroom?**

1. The global view of what my students are doing. 2. Ability to immediately message them

**What do you dislike about Dyknow Classroom?**

The lag time is often problematic because students switch apps before I can respond.

**Recommendations to others considering Dyknow Classroom:**

1. Be prepared.  Multiple screens help.

**What problems is Dyknow Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?**

First and foremost, I am able to better monitor and document the apps- allowed and not!- my students use.  I can immediately message them bot to help and redirect them.

  ### 45. DyKnow Greatness

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** ERIKA R. | Middle School Science Teacher, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2019

**What do you like best about Dyknow Classroom?**

The best thing about DyKnow is that I can keep up with what my students are doing on their computers and interact with them when they are not where they are supposed to be.

**What do you dislike about Dyknow Classroom?**

I wish the questions section would keep the data, so that when I do exit tickets the data for each student is kept in a database.

**Recommendations to others considering Dyknow Classroom:**

I really like this product.  Many years ago I used a discourse program and then is head and shoulders above the other program I used.

**What problems is Dyknow Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?**

DyKnow allows me to make sure my students are using their chrome book correctly and are using their time wisely.  When the students know I have DyKnow up it cuts back on misuse of the technology and they have become more aware of their usage.

**What do you like best about Dyknow Classroom?**

I love everything about it!  The way we can send a note is great!  I love the take and monitor feature!  It's a great tool for teachers!

**What do you dislike about Dyknow Classroom?**

I don't like that when I go from one period to the next I have to click on classes again because the screen that it reverts back to when you close one class looks like classes screen but it's actually the class history screen which is a little bit of a time waster for me.

**What problems is Dyknow Classroom solving and how is that benefiting you?**

No problems.  Benefits are the ease to the end user to accomplish exactly what it's designed to do.
