Policy

More and more educational institutions are allowing BYOD in classrooms but BYOD policies are often vague or immature due to the fast pace of changing technology. BYOD policies need to be reframed and should keep pace with emerging technology in order to be fully successful (Vignesh & Asha, 2015). However, at the same time, teachers need to be trained and work collaboratively with IT staff in order to cope with, and benefit from, these continuous changes. Moreover, teacher mindset is very important while implementing BYOD policies. Thus, teacher training prior to the BYOD implementation and an inclusive BYOD policy where all stakeholders participate during policy formation is important. Before setting up a basic framework, the following are the key considerations that we are going to keep in mind (BYOD in Schools Literature Review, 2013).
