What does SAMR stand for?

• Strategy, Action, Management, Reflection

• Simulation, Application, Modification, Regulation

• Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition

• Service, Alignment, Methodology, Review

Which of the following is an example of Augmentation in the SAMR Model?

• Replacing handwritten essays with typewritten essays

• Using a blog for students to write and comment on posts

• Creating a digital story instead of a written story

• Using a word processor to write essays with added spell check

Which level of the SAMR Model involves using technology to perform the same task as you could do without technology?

• Substitution

• Augmentation
• Modification
• Redefinition

Modification and Redefinition levels focus on transforming the learning experience.

• True

• False

Augmentation means technology acts as a direct tool substitute, with functional improvements.

• True

• False

Which of the following represents the Substitution level of the SAMR Model in a Math class?

• • A teacher uses an overhead projector to display slides instead of writing on a blackboard.

• • Students use a word processing program to type up essays instead of writing them by hand.

• • A math teacher uses an online platform that automatically grades student quizzes and provides instant feedback.

• • Reading a textbook's PDF version on a tablet instead of using a physical textbook.

Which of the following are examples of the Augmentation level of the SAMR Model?

• 1. Using an app to take virtual notes with added features like tagging and searching, which enhances note-taking over paper notes.

• 2. Reading a digital textbook instead of a physical one, without any added functionalities.

• 1. Implementing a math learning tool that provides immediate feedback on quizzes and personalizes learning paths for students.

• 1. Utilizing a cloud-based document editor for group projects, allowing students to collaborate in real-time and see edits as they happen.

Identify the examples of the Modification level of the SAMR Model.

• 1. Students use a standard word processor to write essays, similar to writing on paper.

• 1. Learners participate in a global online forum to discuss and compare their local environmental issues with peers from different countries, promoting deeper understanding through diverse perspectives.

• 1. A teacher uses an interactive map tool that allows students to create and share their own historical timelines with multimedia elements, engaging in a more interactive study of history.

• 1. In a science class, students use a simulation software to design and test virtual experiments, allowing them to manipulate variables and observe outcomes in ways not possible in a physical lab.

How can a PE teacher integrate technology at the Modification level of the SAMR Model?

• • Using a stopwatch to time races.

• • Watching a video demonstration of basketball dribbling skills.

• • Displaying instructions for exercises on a digital screen.

• • Students wear fitness trackers during class to monitor their physical activity and set goals.

A history teacher uses a virtual reality platform to let students experience historical events as if they were there. This is an example of:

• Substitution

• Augmentation

• Modification

• Redefinition
