[Year 12 IT Apps] Ipods phones and mobile device policies

[Hutchison, Geoffrey G]

Similar for us as McKinnon, including phones.

The use of USB sticks is positively encouraged for backups etc (and are
included in yr7 book list). Security can be managed by a mixture of
policies and software.

Much the same at McKinnon.  Phones may not be used at all in class, 
except if used as MP3 players.

have a policy that kids can bring them to school (at their own personal
risk), but they must be switched off when they come into a classroom
(unless given the OK by the teacher).    Seems to work, gives the kids
and teachers a fair bit of latitude.
