This document discusses building a successful Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program in K-12 schools. It outlines a multi-faceted approach that requires partnership and reliability between all stakeholders, including superintendents, administrators, teachers, parents, students, IT departments and law enforcement. The roundtable identifies challenges around privacy, safety, access and infrastructure. Successful implementation depends on developing comprehensive policies, providing technical support and professional development, ensuring pedagogical models support learning, and gaining buy-in from all members of the education community.
