Making The Grade: BYOD should be avoided, and here are three reasons why<div class="feat-image">
</div><p>
<strong>Making The Grade</strong> is a weekly series from Bradley Chambers covering Apple in education. Bradley has been managing Apple devices in an education environment since 2009. Through his experience deploying and managing 100s of Macs and 100s of iPads, Bradley will highlight ways in which Apple’s products work at scale, stories from the trenches of IT management, and ways Apple could improve its products for students.</p>
<p>If you are around the K–12 technology scene at all, there is no doubt one term that you’ve heard of: <strong>BYOD</strong>. It stands for bring your own device. It means that the school’s technology program allows students to bring a device to school, put it on the school’s Wi-Fi network, and use it to do their classwork. On the surface, this sounds like a win-win for everyone. School’s get out of the device ownership and management business, and students get to bring whatever device they want to school. I’ve long disagreed with this strategy, and I want to explain why.</p>
