Approval is at the discretion of the teacher.  If you are using technology inappropriately, you will be asked to stop. Compliance is expected.  Full disclosure is expected.
Continuation of using said technology may result in the loss of such technology for the duration of the class and/or the technology being turned in to the office for a violation of regulations.
