"Throughout this series, I will focus on the Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition (SAMR) model highlighting different tasks that school-based administrators may face during the school year. These tasks will be broken down and explained using the SAMR model in the following order:
Part 1: Staff Presentations
Part 2: Community Interaction
Part 3: File Management
Part 4: Classroom Evaluations
Part 5: Staff Input"
This short video demonstrates different levels of tech. integration using the SAMR model. For more information on SAMR & Bloom's taxonomy, check out this blog post: The Padagogy Wheel … it's a Bloomin' Better Way to Teach @

Catlin Tucker, Honors English teacher, shares: "The SAMR model (substitution, augmentation, modification and redefinition) explores the impact of integrating technology on both teaching and learning. It attempts to outline a progression that educators follow in their journey towards redefining teaching and learning with technology. I've used this model as a guide to identify where a particular lesson or activity falls on the spectrum of technology integration, but it does not reflect the teacher's evolution."

Krista Moroder, Director of Learning & Instructional Tech. (former teacher) provides some insight into these two tech. integration frameworks and their strengths & difficulties.
"I'm going to preface this post by saying that I think both TPACK and SAMR are incredibly useful frameworks- and I use them a lot in my work with education technology. While I don't want to completely discount either framework in this post, I do want to start a discussion- and explain why I am currently not finding them completely effective in my work with teachers.

"This is a quick introduction to the SAMR Model, developed by Dr. Ruben Puentedura. It is not meant to be an in-depth view of the model, but is an introduction to a model for tech. integration in the classroom. For more information, visit http://hippasus.com/"
