[Year 12 IT Apps] BYOD - Multiple device types

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Interesting approach to BYOD in WA, I've cross-posted the details from Eric below. Google apps for education seems to fill the gaps for senior student users, it's certainly been around for a while now. Just wondering how others are going with this in Vic and multiple device access to the school wifi?
