DyKnow success

Our school has invested in DyKnow - a cool teaching and monitoring tool. I've enjoyed the monitoring aspects of the tool - getting to transfer files, share control, display student work, applying attention and keeping my students on task. The vision side of it is taking a little longer to embrace. I did have a great wing-it lesson last week when the DVD player wasn't working and I needed something quick. I had my students each create a multiple choice question and submit the panel to me. I then appended all of these panels into one file and displayed each question one at a time. Using DyKnow, I then polled the students on each question and got a little nifty graph that showed how many students responded correctly. The students loved the interactivity of the game and I loved being able to guage how well my students knew the concepts. Woohoo! Gotta love those days when It just works.... :-)
