SAMR

The SAMR model is a framework for categorizing technology integration in education into four levels: substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition. Substitution involves direct replacement of a traditional tool with no functional change, while augmentation improves the tool's functionality. Modification allows for significant task redesign and redefinition enables the creation of new tasks. The document provides examples of integrating different technologies at each SAMR level, such as using a word processor for writing or online tools to study Shakespeare. It also discusses how the SAMR model relates to Bloom's revised taxonomy of learning objectives.

WHAT IS SAMR?

The SAMR Model is a framework created by Dr. Ruben Puentedura that categorizes four
different degrees of classroom technology integration. The model is designed to help
educators infuse technology into teaching and learning.
“SAMR” stands for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition.
S- Substitution
- Technology acts as a direct substitute, with no functional change. A total replacement
to a traditional teaching tool or method.
A- Augmentation
- Technology acts as a direct substitute with functional improvement.
M- Modification
- Technology allows significant task redesign
R- Redefinition
- Technology allows for the creation of new task

HOW SAMR IS APPLIED IN INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY IN TEACHING

A. Original Assignment: A hand written paper.


Substitution: A Word Processor replaces a Pen/Pencil in a Writing Assignment.
Augmentation: A Word Processor and text-to-speech function are used to improve the
writing process.
Modification: The document created using the Word Processor and text-to-speech
function is shared on a blog where feedback can be received and incorporated to help
improve the quality of writing.
Redefinition: Instead of a written assignment, students convey analytic thought using
multimedia tools.

B.Original Assignment: Read a Shakespeare play in traditional printed format.


Substitution: Read Shakespeare texts online.
Augmentation: Use online dictionaries, study guides, history sites, to supplement reading.
Modification: Use multimedia resources like text, audio, and video tools to jointly construct
knowledge, learning, and understanding of a portion of a play, or a character, as a group
project.
Redefinition: Answer a question using a Concept Mapping tool and constructing a mind
map demonstrating key elements through words and images.

C.Original Assignment: Drawing a picture using traditional brush, paint, paper.


Substitution: Use a digital drawing/painting program (like MS Paint) to draw/paint a
picture.
Augmentation: Use a tool that allows the creation of your masterpiece to be played back
(like Educreations).
Modification: Pull a background image to use as a canvas, you could even scan
something hand drawn and use that.
Redefinition: Create Artwork Collaboratively using a Collaborative Online Whiteboard
(like Twiddla or one of these other tools).

SAMR AND BLOOM’S REVISED TAXONOMY OF OBJECTIVES

Research indicates that “Today’s students, regardless of demographics, have shown an


interest in digital opportunities to learn, and the range of Web 2.0 tools that make
collaboration, innovation, and individual exploration possible is incredible.” Practitioners
within the field of education have thought of unique ways to connect digital tools with the
framework of Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy, which has led to the emergence of a Digital
Bloom’s Taxonomy.

Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy

Integrating Technology with Bloom’s Taxonomy - The purpose of Bloom’s Digital


Taxonomy is to inform instructors of how to use technology and digital tools to facilitate
student learning experiences and outcomes
