What it really isDyknow (now Securly Classroom) — K-12 classroom device monitoring and management software for teachers.
Our takeDyknow is a classroom management platform that lets teachers monitor student Chromebooks, Windows PCs, and Macs in real time — viewing live screens, blocking websites or apps, locking devices, and reviewing post-class activity history.
Acquired by Securly in 2022, it now operates as Securly Classroom. Dyknow is EdTech classroom management software. Pricing is custom/contact-based for school and district licenses, with a reported entry point of $9/year; there is no permanent free tier.
Why we rate itDyknow/Securly Classroom is one of the few classroom management tools that works across Chromebook, Windows, and Mac with teacher-friendly controls.
Its 2022 integration into the Securly safety ecosystem adds depth for IT teams who need both monitoring and web-filtering under one roof.
The catchPricing is opaque — actual per-device/per-student costs require contacting sales, making budget planning difficult.
Chromebook monitoring is browser-only (no full desktop view). The Securly acquisition has shifted focus toward district-wide IT bundles rather than individual teacher licensing.

Best / not good for

Best for
  • K-12 schools running 1:1 Chromebook, Windows, or Mac programmes
  • Teachers who want live screen visibility and one-click website blocking during lessons
  • IT administrators already using Securly for content filtering who want a unified platform
Not good for
  • Higher education or corporate device management scenarios
  • Schools needing a permanent free tier with no budget for edtech licensing
  • Environments where full Chromebook desktop monitoring (beyond browser) is required
Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Moderate — teacher setup is straightforward once IT deploys the agent, but district procurement and device rollout add lead time.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Custom quote required above entry level; per-device costs and district-wide contracts can become complex for large deployments.
  3. Walled garden
    Moderate — activity data and blocking policies live within the Dyknow/Securly platform; limited data export options for analytics outside the system.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, try it on the official site.
