Recently, I found myself entangled with several people in a Twitter debate about whether BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies actually perpetuate or aggravate the digital divide our students currently experience.

What do you do about personal devices that circumvent the school security to access the Internet? In many schools, Internet access is spotty, undependable, and a challenge to manage. Studies show that 88% of teenagers between 13-17 have cell phones (or access to one) and 66% of middle schoolers. And why not?
