What's SAMR?
SAMR is an model created to help educators infuse technology into teaching and learning. Developed by Dr. Ruben Puentedura, the model supports and enables teachers to design, develop, and infuse digital learning experiences that utilize technology. The goal is to transform learning experiences so they result in higher levels of achievement for students. (Kathy Schrock)

There are four steps that move from simple technology introductions in the substitution phase, up to the redefinition phase where the lesson couldn't even be possible without the use of technology.
