How Are You Using Technology in Your Classroom?The SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition) Model is a way of determining how technology is used in the classroom, and of structuring instruction so that technology is used in different ways.
There's no "bad" level in SAMR - you will use all the levels in an effective classroom. However, just like with everything else, it's about balance. You don't want to be on the same level all of the time. You also don't want to just do the same things you've always done, but with a computer instead of a pencil. Using the SAMR scale can help build lessons that integrate technology in ways that encompass both day-to-day practicality and beyond-the-classroom engagement and authenticity. |
