SAMR Model of Technology Integration Adina Sullivan

Today, talk of pedagogy includes the 4Cs.

Communication

Collaboration

Critical Thinking

Creativity Source: Partnership for 21st Century Skills

We know the 4Cs. Now meet SAMR.

Why?

Technology is a Tool, Not a Learning Outcome

These students aren’t excited because of the technology. It’s about what they’re LEARNING with the technology.

Technology Integration

Ok. What is SAMR?

Transformation

Enhancement

Substitution Technology is just a substitute with no

functional change

Augmentation Technology is just a substitute, but with

functional change

Modification Technology is used to redesign the task

Redefinition Technology allows for tasks that were

impossible without it Ruben R. Puentedura, Ph. D.

for me? Real-life day-to day examples courtesy of

Substitution: A substitute with no functional change

Coffee is still coffee

Substitution: A substitute with no functional change

Writing a report vs. typing a report

Augmentation: A substitute with functional change

Coffee is still coffee, but now with ice and maybe some milk

Augmentation: A substitute with functional change

The addition of the electronic tools adds a functional change.

Including use of spell check, grammar check, and electronic dictionary or thesaurus

Modification: Redesign

Caramel Macchiato – Could be made at home, but would be much more difficult. The coffee has been truly modified

Modification: Redesign

This is now a redesigned assignment in terms of format and use.

Student newsletter with digital images for collection of book recommendations from students to students.

Redifinition: New and previously impossible

Pumpkin Latte – You can only get it at Starbucks. They have a trademark. It truly can’t be made at home.

Redifinition: New and previously impossible

Creation of products that would be inconceivable without technology such as movies, podcasts, narrated multi-media

presentations, animation, or infographics
