    1. How to Apply the SAMR Model with Ruben Puentedura, 2016. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQTx2UQQvbU.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQTx2UQQvbU

      Enhancement:<br /> - Substitution: Tech acts as a direct tool substitute with no functional improvement - Augmentation: Tech acts as a direct tool substitute with functional improvement

      Transformation - Modification: Tech allows for significant task redesign - Redefinition: Tech allows for the creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable

    2. Good tools for thought should be more than just substitutions for tools or methods one had before.

      In fact, any tool or technology, if valuable, should allow for the leverage of extension and transformation, otherwise is it really a tool?

    3. Do digital note taking tools extend the ranges of affordances versus their analog counterparts with respect to the SAMR model?

      On the augmentation front, they allow one to capture things faster, but may do so at the loss of understanding due to the lack of active learning (versus passive as the tool may be robbing them of the interaction with the material).

      There may be some workflow modification, but it's modest at best. Is it measurably better?

      I'm unaware of anyone talking about technological redefinition of digital note taking affordances, though some of the surface level AI-related things may emerge here.

      In some sense, I still think that the ease of remapping and rearranging/linking/relinking/outlining ideas in digital spaces doesn't exist, so digital note taking tools aren't doing very well even at the root substitution level.

      I suspect that some people weren't exposed to the general process of good note taking and their subsequent use for linking, developing, and then creating and as a result of learning this, they're attributing their advances to the digital nature of their tools rather than the original analog process which was always there and isn't necessarily improved measurably by the digital modality.

    4. The example of maps he shows here discusses a social interaction component which allows for an interdisciplinary approach to the knowledge scaffolding (especially if students shared their work with each other).

      Are there other non-social affordances in this system? Affordances that would let an individual go further/faster by themselves?

    1. At the substitution level, you are substituting a cup of coffee that we could make at home or school with a cup of coffee from Starbucks. It’s still coffee: there’s no real change.

      Love this example with one of my favorite things: coffee! Having these examples are very helpful to me, this article not only provides examples, though, it explains why they are examples of each

    2. The SAMR model allows you the opportunity to evaluate why you are using a specific technology, design tasks that enable higher-order thinking skills, and engage students in rich learning experiences.

      Clearly stated purpose of the SAMR model!

    1. SAMR in 120 Seconds

      Substitution: new tech replaces old tech Augmentation: sharing Google doc and saving to cloud; increased functionality

      Modification: tech redesigns part of task; collaborate on Google doc Redefinition: design and create new tasks; connecting to classroom across world through Google Doc, talking about differences in history from different parts of world, using voice recording to discuss differences they noticed

    1.  Dr. Puentedura has included Questions and Transitions Ladders  with the SAMR model to help teachers make transitions to each level.

      Dr. Puentedura's Questions and Transitions Ladders can be extremely useful as a reference. Very practical and helps to connect with our Educational Standards. I will save this document (link) for myself!

    2. What is the new task? Will any portion of the original task be retained? How is the new task uniquely made possible by the new technology? How does it contribute to my design?

      important redefinition questions to ask, transfer to final level

    3. bout the expectation for each of us to achieve what we cannot achieve without new technology.

      I think SAMR is so important as tech is constantly changing. It is a great model to help teachers stay current and efficient in their teaching and tech integration

    4. How is the original task being modified? Does this modification fundamentally depend upon the new technology? How does this modification contribute to my design?

      modification important questions, focused on transfer from level to level

    5. Have I added an improvement to the task process that could not be accomplished with the older technology at a fundamental level? How does this feature contribute to my design?

      important SAMR augmentation questions

    6. eachers in the substitution and augmentation phase can use technology to accomplish traditional tasks,  but the real learning gains result from engaging students in learning experiences that could not be accomplished without technology. At the Modification and Redefinition level, the task changes and extends the walls of the classroom.

      tech is used in the Sub and Aug levels to accomplish basic tasks, and in the Mod and Redef levels, technology is used to extended the lesson beyond the classroom

    7. AMR is a model of tech integration designed by Dr. Ruben R. Puentedura, Ph.D. that is simple, easy to gauge, and offers all educators something to strive for.

      SAMR S- substitution A-Augmentation M-modification R- redefinition

    8. Apple’s use of the SAMR model as a framework for tech integration presents a consistent, clear and powerful message that is spreading!

      maybe when models like SAMR are used on broader scales, like Apple, it helps spread awareness and makes the model more mainstream

    1. AMR in 120 Seconds

      This YouTube video is a quick overview of the SAMR model of instruction essential for universal design. "S" stands for substitution - New tech replaces old material but does not change text. "A" stands for augmentation - students work to complete a task such as on google docs. "M" stands for modification - tech is used to redesign part of task and transform learning. Ex. google docs comment feature provides instant feedback. "R" stands for redefinition - design and create new tasks. Ex. communicating across world through google docs, discussing it through google voice and recording it all as presentation. Rating 10/10

    1. Researchers have determined that technology integration typically moves through specific levels. The higher the level of an activity the greater the educational benefit.

      The more technology is integrated into our lessons, the more learning will occur. It is important to remember that technology helps us to make content more relatable and interesting to our students.

    1. SAMR in 120 Second

      Notes -framework for providing technology in the classroom -Substitution- same task. new tech replaces old tech but doesn't change the rules of how to use it (ex- microsoft word vs. gooogle docs) -Augmentation- same task. Provides more functionality (ex- sharing google doc and shares to cloud more easily) -Modification- midifies task. Technology is used to redesign parts of the task (students collaborating in google docs and commenting to each other) -Redefinition- design and create new tasks that were once unimaginable (connecting to a classroom across the world using google docs)

    1. Teachers in the substitution and augmentation phase can use technology to accomplish traditional tasks,  but the real learning gains result from engaging students in learning experiences that could not be accomplished without technology.

      Technology is usually seen as a distraction and not a tool to help engage students in learning experiences.

    2. The SAMR model  is a useful tool for helping teachers think about their own tech use as they begin to make small shifts in the design and implementation of  technology driven learning experiences to achieve the next level.

    1. The key to successful technology integration is the efficient use of digital tools tools that are appropriate for the task.

      your toolkit is a place for all of your technological tools that benefit learning

    2. Teachers in the substitution and augmentation phase can use technology to accomplish traditional tasks,  but the real learning gains result from engaging students in learning experiences that could not be accomplished without technology. At the Modification and Redefinition level, the task changes and extends the walls of the classroom.

      there are different levels of samr with different educational benefits. there are also transitional questions and prompts to help teachers decide what level best suits their pedagogy

    3. Researchers have determined that technology integration typically moves through specific levels. The higher the level of an activity the greater the educational benefit

      The more technology integrated into the educational process the greater the educational benefit
