Abstract
The use of personally owned devices among learners has remained a contentious issue in schools across the
globe. While several studies have been devoted to explaining the importance of such initiatives, the debate has
continued to rage on, with most school authorities imposing a blanket ban on the use of these devices within
their premises. In this study, we seek to contribute by examining in-service teachers’ perceptions of the use of
personally owned devices in schools within the global south context. The qualitative study explores teachers’
understanding of the usefulness of technology and associated devices such as smartphones in the classroom.
