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

On March 5, 2014, I was privileged to moderate and participate on a panel on Bridging the Digital Divide with BYOD Equity at the SXSWedu conference in Austin, Texas. I highly suggest you follow each of them on Twitter to learn more about best practices in educational technology. Unported License.

"Technology won't replace teachers, but teachers who use technology will probably replace teachers who don't" This was just one of the contentious and thought provoking statements made at Learning Through Technology this week in Glasgow. Another conclusion was that the technology wave is not slowing, and won't go away.
