SMAR model
24th April 2024 SAMR Model SAMR model stands for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification and Redefinition . The SAMR model provides a valuable framework for educators (and anyone integrating technology) to critically analyze how ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) are being used. Here are some key points to consider: Levels of Integration: Substitution: This is the most basic level. Technology simply replaces traditional tools. For example, using a word processor instead of pen and paper for writing. While it can improve efficiency, it doesn't fundamentally change the task. Augmentation: ICT enhances a task. A teacher might use a presentation tool with multimedia elements to explain a concept, making it more engaging than a plain lecture. Modification: Technology changes the way a task is done. Students might use collaborative online tools to work together on a project, fostering communication and teamwork skills. Redefinition: This is the most transformative
