Cost of DyKnow Products

As "Ace" noted after my last post, cost is always an issue, especially with school districts! It looks like DyKnow software has to be purchased per computer, and the cost ranges from $24 to $108 depending on whether DyKnow Vision, DyKnow Monitor, or both are purchased and whether a technical support package is chosen (See http://www.dyknow.com/vision/faq.aspx for more info.). That can become quite expensive if purchased for all students, but might be more reasonable if purchased for a few mobile labs.

Overall, there seem to be many benefits to using both DyKnow Vision and DyKnow Monitor though. Like most technologies, they are great if you can work them into your budget or find a relevant grant!

Cost definitely can be a problem although I have to wonder if the software price shouldn't be paid out of a different budget than the LMC since the classrooms would probably be using it also if it was available.

Good point! I wonder how that would work... Would it come out of a building budget or a district technology one?
