ICT Policies in Education by https://padlet.com/ashasookdeojonas/BYOD_Policy "Bring Your Own Device en-us 2018-10-16 00:58:37 UTC 2018-10-16 17:35:26 UTC hello@padlet.com Critic (Group Work) ashasookdeojonas https://padlet.com/ashasookdeojonas/BYOD_Policy/wish/293118406 1. Students are encouraged by the Ministry of Education to bring their own devices to school and gave the assurance that they will provide the technical support for students to utilize their devices safely and appropriately. 
2. To date there are no systems in place to monitor the contents, videos, pictures, games and applications saved on their personal systems/devices.  
3. The MOE is vague on whose responsibility it is to secure these devices. Who takes accountability for the security of these devices? The MOE, the Principal, the parents, students?

1.       The MOE is not adequately assisting schools to provide efficient WiFi connectivity, bandwidth, proper storage/charging facilities and power outlets.
2.       Schools are therefore burdened with additional responsibility to facilitate students’ personal devices.
3.       These devices demand proper technical support from qualified technicians who are in some cases responsible for more than one school within the respective district.

The Ministry of Education should sensitize all parties involved about its intention and expectation of "Bring Your Own Device". The role of parents in such a policy should be specific.
2. Parents should be accountable for the contents on the students’ devices.
3. Schools will have to monitor the number of devices on the school’s compound and on the school’s network. 
4. Proper procedures and systems will have to be implemented by school’s authority to ensure devices are secured throughout the school’s day.

The government can offer some incentive to companies and individuals to engage in this effort through tax breaks, subsidies, grants and other measures
In the case of my school, we can try to raise funds within our circle of stakeholders to help ease the financial burden of incorporating ICT in the classroom
