- People comparing K–12 technology policies across states
- Worth noticing
- The map separates statewide evidence from district findings; “not established” is explicitly described as a research gap, not no policy.
Field notes
The comparison view brings phone rules and teaching requirements together but treats them as separate categories. The page reports findings for personal-device policies in 43 states, while required learning about computing, AI, or digital literacy is documented in 21 states; it also warns that teaching requirements may cover only certain grades. Its definition of required learning excludes standards and course offerings.
