How can information specialists/leaders and school administrators adequately address the breadth of Internet regulation issues faced by their school community?
I think the school has a responsibility to provide equal access to technology to all students in a fair and monitored manner. I have seen at schools certain classes being given resources such as laptops whilst others didn't even have access to a computer in their classroom. I think that students bringing in their own devices could make internet regulation harder to manage as they may already have unsuitable content on their device and it would be hard to manage other devices on the school network. The availability of access may vary from device to device and this would disadvantage some students. I also feel that the children who don't have the availability of a device would also be disadvantaged. This may cause a digital divide among students. The school should be responsible for providing the technology needs for students that way it can be fair and equitable across the board and internet regulation can be monitored.
