http://edofict.wikispaces.com/SAMR+Examples

Substitution

Word processing or presentation for your destination

Augmentation

Design a travel brochure or guide for your chosen country using MS brochure that incorporates ability to hyperlink and embed content.

Modification

The travel guide incorporates multimedia and student collaboration that includes video and student narration.

Redefinition

Questions to Ask for Enhancement Using Technology

• Substitution - tech acts as a substitute– What will I gain by replacing the older technology with the new

technology?

• Augmentation – tech adds functional improvement– Have I added an improvement to the task process that could not be

accomplished with the older technology at a fundamental level?

Questions to Ask for Transformation Using Technology

• Modification – significant task redesign– How does this modification contribute to my task?

• Redefinition – creation of new tasks previously inconceivable– How is the new task uniquely made possible by the new

technology?
