What is SAMR?
SAMR, a model designed to help educators integrate technology into teaching and learning, was developed by Dr. Ruben Puentedura. The model aims to enable teachers to design, develop, and integrate digital learning experiences that utilize technology to transform learning experiences to lead to high levels of achievement for students.
Technology ENHANCED
Substitution
The technology acts just like the old tool.
Classroom Example
Have students type a book summary instead of writing it. (Word Processing)
Augmentation
The technology acts just like the old tool, but withsome improvements.
Classroom Example
* use spell check in word processing * use an online dictionary *add a hyperlink
Technology TRANSFORMED
Modification
Technology redesigns the task significantly. It changes the way we do a project. Adds options.
Classroom Ideas
*Mindmaps (Inpirations) *create a Keynote
(Think- Does the tech make it easier? Will the learning objective be more memorable? Is it easier to share or collaborate?)
Redefinition
Technology creates new content that was not previously possible. These assignment could not be completed without the use of technology.
Classroom Ideas
*collaboration between distant learners (Skype/FaceTime) *mutlimedia Keynote
(Think- Does it increase communication? Does it CREATE content?
Would it be part of a digital portfolio?)
