The impact of the digital on student learning can be profound if an apposite school ecosystem is created.

This study reveals a lack of understanding of the role of schooling in a digital and networked world, its rapidly evolving nature, the transformative impact of the digital technology on schooling, the importance of all students having in their hand the current digital technology and the imperative of looking at the total school ecosystem.

In orchestrating total student use of their own technologies and ensuring all within the school community have a sophisticated digital toolkit, the school positions itself to create a more mature, integrated and productive school ecosystem - an ecosystem which will continually enhance the school's educational capability.

Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) is critical in the digital evolution of schools, when normalising whole school use of the digital, and when shaping digitally - based school ecosystems.

Digitally based, tightly integrated school ecosystems that blend the ins and outs of school teaching and learning are complex organisations where much of the evolution is non-linear in nature and where as yet few, if any, fully understand their workings.
