Have you ever felt frustrated when a professor or teacher has moved on to the next slide before you can write down the first one? I know I have. It is a situation that doesn’t lend to good grades either and can become very frustrating. Well, don’t fret there is a program out there that helps to solve the problem. DyKnow is software that helps ease the process of note taking. It allows the professor to start a session that the students join. In the session there is a panel that shows the professors notes or slideshow and the students can take notes right on that. It eases the frustration of missing something on a slide and instead being able to actually take notes on it. DyKnow allows you to save the slide from the session for later use.
DyKnow has some other handy features for teachers. There is a button that students to click that lets the teacher know whether or not the student understands the information that is being covered. This is a good tool because often times students say they understand it but in all actuality they don’t. With this tool teachers can see who doesn’t get it and what they don’t understand so they can go back and elaborate on the topic. Also, there is a feature that allows the teacher to see what the student is doing on their computer instead of taking notes. It allows the teacher to see who isn’t paying attention and to get them reengaged in the lesson. Another feature that is useful for the teacher is that they can have the students answer something by writing or typing on the pane and then those slides can be collected and returned with a check or a comment. This is a good way to incorporate participation into the class and is great for the students who are a little shy.
DyKnow would be good in the math classroom. One use for DyKnow would be to have a problem that the students have to work out and then their work can be collected for credit or to see where they went wrong in their thinking. Another use would be to check for understanding using the feature I talked about previous. It is very likely that in a math class there are students who just don’t understand what is going on and this feature can let you know where they got lost and things stopped making sense. The sooner we catch the error the easier it is going to be to correct it and continue on learning.
Overall, DyKnow is an excellent product for any classroom and offers many features to enhance the learning of the student while lessening frustration.
