SAMR Group Project

Basis: math class in general

Substitution:
● Graphing calculators
● Using websites such as ixl and math xl for practice
Augmentation:
● Using websites such as mathway and desmos to show you how to do a problem
● Math tests online
Modification:
● Teacher upload videos of math notes taken in class for kids to rewatch
● Put students in groups and have them teach class the assignment – make a google
slide and present
Redefinition:
● Watch youtube videos for assignments that students don’t understand
● Have each student make their own video explaining a math concept and showing an
example of it

Five Critical Questions About Tech

● Students making their own video sharing a math concept and showing an example of
it
What does society give up for the benefits of this technology
● Privacy with posting the videos
● Human interaction
Who is harmed and who benefits from this technology
● Students benefit by learning the information but are harmed due to lack of human
interaction
● Teachers benefit – easier way to assess each individual student
● Students who don’t have access to technology at home are harmed due to lack of
opportunities
What does this technology need
● A recording device and microphone
● Internet access
● Platform to share the final video on
What are the unintended or unexpected changes caused by this technology
● Lack of social skills in students – students more comfortable alone than working with
others
● Increase screen time
● Positive change – many chances for creativity and student to express themselves

Why is it difficult to imagine our world without technology

● We are all growing up with it in our pocket
● Such a huge part of education and classes
 ● The world is so advanced so we must try and keep up in our classrooms, so our
students know how to work the newest technology
● Gives instant information and access to many things
Redefinition – Youtube Videos – watching and making
FERPA – under the age of 18 must get parental consent
1. COPPA – under the age of 13 must get parental consent to allow the student to post
a video of them to the public
a. Teacher must get parental consent to make sure it is okay for each student to
be posting a youtube video onto social media for this assignment

UDL Solution
Spend extra time with
individuals explaining
symbols (2.3)
Accessibility:
For a student with ADHD -
give them breaks, let their
mind wander for a little before
helping them focus on the
assignment again
For a student who is deaf -
give them more visual cues
and make sure directions are
always written down and not
only given orally
For a student who is blind:
braille codes, hands-on
experiences - create 3-D
objects that they can touch
and hold to understand
shapes and ideas
Use multiple media - posters,
diagram, illustration (2.5)
Accessibility:
For a student that doesn’t
have supplies at home -
make them a supply bag to
take home so they feel
comfortable working on their
project, give them time during
lunch or recess to work on it
Provide student with coping
skills and positive feedback
(9.1/9.2)
Accessibility:
For a student that lacks
confidence - work with them
1-on-1 and show interest and
appreciation for their work
Social Anxiety - let students
do a 1-on-1 presentation
alone with the teacher to help
settle those nerves
