How will the technology enhance my lesson? How will it change student engagement?
By considering these questions, teachers are able to design and infuse technology into teaching and learning. As lessons move through the framework to redefinition, they also move to a higher order of thinking. SAMR is connected to Bloom's Taxonomy; each step in the model correlates to the steps of the pyramid. It becomes clearer to see the progression when the two models are placed side by side.
To help further identify the transition from Substitution through Redefinition, I came across this article (it was actually sent to me today, perfect timing, by Nancy Minicozzi. Thanks, Nancy!)
It lays out 8 different style lessons at each of the SAMR levels: Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition. It really helps you visualize the process! Enjoy the read!
