Reframing Technology Integration with the

SAMR Model

Seton Hill University

Where we’ve been….

But is where we are headed any better?

TECHNOLOGY AND THE BRAIN- bringing exciting curricula based on real- world

problems into the classroom

- providing scaffolds and tools to enhance learning, such as modeling programs and visualization tools

- giving students and teachers more opportunities for feedback, reflection, and revision

How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School, authors John D. Bransford, Ann L. Brown, and Rodney R. Cocking

- building local and global communities that include teachers, administrators, students, parents, practicing scientists, and other interested people

- expanding opportunities for teacher learning

What does the future hold…

How can we reframe our teaching with technology?

How can we move above the line?

1. Your Passion:

• If you had to pick one topic from your class that best exemplifies why you became fascinated with the subject you teach, what would it be?

2. Barriers to Your Students’ Progress:

• Is there a topic in your class

that a significant number of students get stuck on, and fail to progress beyond?

3. What Students Will Do In the Future:

• Which topic from your class would, if deeply understood, best serve the interests of your students in future studies or in their lives outside school?

Substitution:• What will I gain by replacing the older technology with the new technology?

Substitution to Augmentation:• 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?

Augmentation to Modification:• 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 to Redefinition:• 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?

Collaborate with those around you. Discuss the following questions and use Google Docs to take notes:

1. What topic/task would you like to redefine?

2. What are you currently doing with this topic/task?

3. Brainstorm ideas for moving above the line to Redefine your topic or task?
