This creates an excellent system for necessary discipline and ensures students stay on task. > > **Cons**: This is a VERY processor heavy program, even for a cloud service. It crashes on me pretty frequently, and needs reloading all the time. I also dislike that I can't set times for turning it on and off. > > DyKnow is one of the better monitoring softwares out there. It lets me not only see what my students are doing, but also allows me to ensure that they have different levels of restriction depending on their needs. It's just also difficult to keep it working consistently since it crashes pretty easily. ----- ### "DyKnow Teacher User" — 5.0/5 > **Corban** | *13 September 2018* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to save setttings is really helpful. I am able to monitor any site my students access and keep them on task without having to walk around the room. > > **Cons**: It’s very strange to me that a student can’t be monitored by more than one teacher. It makes the software freak out. It seems like DyKnow should boast about its depth and processin power. > > It is useful. ----- ### "Classroom Management At Its Best" — 4.0/5 > **Christopher** | *26 May 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: DyKnow gave me back control of my classroom. The ability to control what students can and cannot access if invaluable to keep them on task. I am able to set up pre-made lists of blocks to quickly access them for my classes. > > **Cons**: I wish I could take control of my students computers and close tabs rather than just blocking access. I would also like to control programs outside the browser. That is the main feature I would like. > > I spent a long time not being able to control my students and DyKnow was a game changer for me. ----- ### "Dyknow Review" — 3.0/5 > **Tori** | *17 March 2017* | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use Blocking plans were easy to set up > > **Cons**: A lot of error messages or instances where Dyknow failed to load or quit part of the way through a class it was supposed to be monitoring Errors where having Dyknow running and blocking activity on student laptops led to programs they were using refusing to let them type in text boxes Time consuming to have to uncheck every student when attempting to establish segmented blocking - wish it started with no students checked and allowed me to check just the one or two who needed to be blocked > > While I like the features that Dyknow has when it comes to monitoring my classroom activities, I get extremely frustrated with Dyknow on the days that it doesn't work. There were multiple times over the year where I relied on Dyknow to act as a blocking software while my students were taking a quiz or a test and Dyknow failed to perform. Multiple times I received errors that Dyknow couldn't load or couldn't find the students it was supposed to be monitoring which left me at a disadvantage when it came to creating successful blocking plans that accomplished the tasks I needed them to. I also wish Dyknow had a feature where I could set it to automatically begin monitoring my class at certain times - because it has to be open in a separate tab and I have to remember to begin the monitoring in addition to everything else I have to do, there were many times where I didn't set it to monitor my class. Since it doesn't build a record for that student unless I remember to start monitoring, this meant I didn't have a record for many days in the social studies classroom. Would love to see an adjustment where I can sync it with a daily schedule and set it to start monitoring at specific times. ----- ### "Classroom lecture management made easy" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *23 August 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Technology can either be a distraction in a classroom if students are using them in non-productive ways, yet they can be a boon if they can be used properly in a classroom setting. Dyknow is a tool that helps point tech in the classroom towards the latter, more helpful outcome. It provides many useful tools for monitoring students, delivering lectures, and student engagement. Since Dyknow is cross-platform, it can be deployed on school computers as well as a variety of personal devices owned by students. > > **Cons**: Students will try their hardest to work around Dyknow monitoring. In environments where students have Dyknow installed on their computer, reliability can be spotty, cutting into class time while trying to diagnose certain problems. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/130100/dyknow?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/130100/dyknow) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
