Policies for BYOD in k12 education

[Tuulia Kiilavuori]

Hi, I would very much appreciate any links to schools' policies for using students own mobile devices (not devices given to them by the school) in k12 education. In some countries you cannot expect students to bring their own devices with them because of equal opportunities and I totally agree with that but I would still be interested in knowing how BYOD works in other countries.

Kind Regards,
Tuulia
