SAMR
ANOTHER IMPORTANT MODEL IN THE INTEGRATION
OF TECHNOLOGY IN INSTRUCTION IS SAMR
SAMR is a model designed to help educators infuse techsupports
and teaching and learning Developed by Dr Ruben Puentedura,
the model supports and enables teachers to design, develop, and
infuse digital learning experiences that utilize technology (Nov 9,

S
S stands for Substitution. It is literally using technology as an
alternate for the regular item that is employed in augmenting or
assisting instruction Instead of using a map or a globe in
teaching geography, teachers can use Google map or Google eart
instead. Showing a location in a map can be substituted by the
use of google map of google earth.
A
A is Augmentation. In this part of technology integration, there
is a functional improvement in the use of a technology tool. With
the google map, you can use the features available such as
measuring the distance from one point to another.
M
M means Modification. In this level, technology is used to redesign
a lesson. When studying geography for example, google
applications have panoramio. Using this you can guide students to
start uploading their own pictures of places they may have
visited online. A brief description of these places can also be
added. If internet connectivity is not available in the classroom,
they can do the task after class. With clear and proper
instructions, students can be guided to work on the assignment.
R
R represents the idea of creating something from the regular
item. This is Redefinition. Technology allows the creation of a
new concept that has not been previously conceptualized.
Puentedura labels this as the transformation of learning.
