Integrating Tech For Improved Instruction

So what is S.A.M.R.? Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition

Technology Enhances Learning:

Substitution = Tech acts as a direct tool substitute, with no functional change

Augmentation = Tech acts as a direct tool substitute, with functional improvement.

Technology Transforms Learning:

Modification = Tech allows for significant task redesign.

Redefinition = Tech allows for the creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable.

SAMR Connection to Classrooms

After viewing sample lessons:

Look at tasks that you could conceivably do in your classroom/library at each of the SAMR levels. Possibly look at ways you could collaborate with classroom teachers and/or departments/grade levels.

You can collaborate with a partner, or work on your own. Be ready to share out some ideas!
