DyKnow

As the year comes to an end, I believe it's important to look at all of the great things that occurred in the past 12 months for DyKnow, for our customers, and for education, in general.

Stimulus Money -- there was a lot of hype about extra dollars for educational technology and for keeping teachers in the classroom. A lot of that money has gone out to states and, hopefully, to individual schools and districts. Integrating technology in the classroom is important when trying to provide students with learning experience that promotes 21st century learning.
Netbooks -- These "mini-laptops" continue to be very desired by the k12 community. With these lower cost machines, large public districts are starting to implement 1:1 computing on a larger level. Teaching strategies are really starting to focus on the use of technology in the classroom.
Addition of numerous International Schools -- It seems that an endless number of International schools are embracing classroom technology at an astounding rate. Many are moving to a 1:1 computing program and are implementing DyKnow as a part of that program as well. We're glad to count them as customers and we love hearing about all of the great things they are doing (for example, when school is closed because of H1N1, classes continued to meet virtually with DyKnow).
The release of 5.2 -- it's amazing what our software can do and the enhancements get better every year (for example, the PowerPoint Plug-In). Here's a synopsis of what was new in 5.2...and there are a lot of things to look forward to in 2010 with 5.3. Three cheers to our development team!

These are just a few of the many highlights from 2009 -- I can't wait to see what 2010 brings!
