We are excited to announce that the
latest Dyknow version, Dyknow 5.2, which
was released last week, IS compatible
with the Apple Mac and eligible for
Technical Support from the
company. In light of this
new information, students WILL be able
to utilize their Mac laptop-pcs only for
the upcoming school year
(2009-2010) with the understanding that
for the following year(2010-2011), ALL
students MUST use the Tablet-PC.
The following requirements/modifications
must be made in order for the Mac to
work in the school environment:
1. The laptop must be running Windows
XP Professional using Boot Camp or some
other DUAL BOOT software. (This must be
installed prior to bringing to the
school for configuration)
2. It must
be configured, by the school, for
network, Dyknow, Microsoft Office
as established in the survey and “What
Next”
Parents should also remember that any
laptops used other than the Toshiba
Tablet are the families responsibility
for repairs. Students not
utilizing the tablet will have to
utilize the mouse and text for
submitting handwritten responses.
