Leveraging Banned Technologies To Create Ubiquitous Learning Environments

Anything, anyplace, anywhere access is becoming the norm. Yet, how should schools deal with the inevitable ubiquitous access by students?  Can we continue to deny students and facility the ability to use their devices on the school network?  Do district chief technology officers (CTOs) need to re-think policies that prohibit certain technologies from the school campus?  Join in this thought-provoking CTO Forum, cosponsored by the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) and NSBAs Technology Leadership Network.
