Tech Integration for Educators

The document discusses SAMR, a model for classifying how technology may be used to enhance learning. The SAMR model includes four levels: substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition. Substitution involves using technology as a direct substitute with no functional change. Augmentation allows for functional improvements. Modification enables significant task redesign. Redefinition makes possible new tasks that were previously not possible. The document provides examples for each level and notes that using the SAMR model in teaching can have benefits by raising awareness of how technology can enhance learning. It also includes a link to a training presentation on SAMR.

SAMR
Substitution

Technology acts as direct substitute with no functional
change. The task remains the same but a computer is
used as part of that task.
E.g. Find a text online to use in place of one of the
texts in your course book. Ask your students to read it
and answer comprehension questions.
Augmentation 

Technology acts as a direct tool substitute for an analogue
activity, but with functional improvements.
E.g. Find a text online to use in place of one of the
texts in your course book. Ask students to use some
digital tools to mark up the text with notes, highlight
specific areas to remember and use an online
dictionary to check new vocabulary.
Modification

Technology allows for significant task redesign.
E.g. Find a text online to use in place of one of the
texts in your course book. Ask students to use some
digital tools to mark up the text with notes, highlight
specific areas to remember and use an online
dictionary to check new vocabulary. Then ask
students to share their reflections about the text on a
blog which is shared within a wider educational
community. They then comment on each others’
posts. They later meet together in a virtual live forum
to discuss and debate the content.
Redefinition

Technology allows for the creation of new tasks previously
not possible.
E.g. Find a text online to use in place of one of the
texts in your course book. Ask students to use some
digital tools to mark up the text with notes, highlight

SAMR specific areas to remember and use an online


dictionary to check new vocabulary. Students then
work collaboratively to research the background to the
text online and create a digital survey about it. They
share the survey through social media. They then
collect and analyse the data from the survey and work
together online to create an infographic or video
report of their analysis of their survey responses.
Getting teachers to approach technology with this kind of
awareness can certainly have its benefits and SAMR has
definitely attracted quite a following.
