How Can We Successfully Monitor Tech Integration In Our Classrooms?

In this episode of “Ask the Tech Coach,” Jeff welcomes Technology Coach and Microsoft Innovative Innovator Melania LeJeune to discuss ways that teachers can monitor tech integration in their classrooms. Today's episode of Ask the Tech Coach is brought to you by Dyknow. When Technology Teams plan for technology integration, it is crucial to think about how teachers will manage student device distractions during class. Dyknow’s classroom management software empowers teachers to teach with technology by enabling real-time visibility of student activity to identify off-task behavior and redirect that behavior with blocking or messaging. Additionally, Dyknow enables teachers to create blocking plans, facilitate formative assessments, and view student history after class. Dyknow defeats device distractions so you have the confidence that your time and investment in learning technology is reaching its full potential. Help empower your teachers to embrace technology integration knowing that their students are on-task during class with Dyknow. Learn more at www.dyknow.com.
