Parents Views on BYOD
I read an interesting article about parents views on students being able to use cell phone and other devices that allow them to be connected to the internet. Most parents want their child to have access to the most up to date technology so that when they move on to higher education they are prepared and are the most marketable. This makes complete sense, so why not let the students have access to using these devices to better their education. Obviously there needs to be restrictions as to when and how the device is used, but why not let students use them when the situation is appropriate.

I've always been a proponent of BYOD in the classroom. I think it's absurd to ask our students not to use something that most people use on a daily basis for personal and business issues. I think a big part of this is fear on behalf of the districts. If we teach our students the appropriate way to use electronic devices we will set them up for future success.
