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. Having a BYOD policy would seem to perpetuate the divide between the tech-haves and tech-have-nots.

The Background Photo Used Under a Creative Commons License In the Spring of 2013, my school district committed to issuing an iPad to every classroom teacher. Most of the iPads would be in the hands of teachers by the end of the semester. We were about to distribute iPads to 800 teachers. Time was of the essence.

Our Board of Education then announced we were now a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) district, but did not provide the professional development time to support this initiative. Meaning, students can get to the tool and create it regardless of whether they are using a PC, MAC, iPad, or Android. This is not always easy to decipher.

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?

We hear all the time about schools losing access to these tools. I can see we're BYOD. Vicki Davis Yeah.

Also, millions of dollars are spent by a growing number of school districts on implementing 1:1 or BYOD programs that focus on getting devices into the hands of students.
