What is the SAMR model?

• A tool for evaluating teacher performance

• A model for assessing student learning outcomes

• A strategy for classroom management

• A framework for integrating technology in education

Abigail, William, and Nora are working on a school project. They are using the SAMR model. What is the purpose of their use of the SAMR model?

• All of the above

• To foster collaboration among themselves

• To measure the impact of the technology they are using

• To promote technology integration in their project

Emma, Noah, and Priya are teachers trying to improve their teaching methods. How does the SAMR model benefit them?

• By supporting differentiation and personalization in their classrooms

• All of the above

Is the SAMR model the only framework for technology integration in education?

• The text does not provide enough information

• It is one of many frameworks

• No

• Yes

What is the substitution level in the SAMR model?

• Using technology functionally to augment the learning task

• Using technology in a transformative way to create new learning tasks

• Replacing analog technology with digital technology without functional change

• Using technology to significantly redesign a learning task

Aiden, Hannah, and James are working on a school project. They are using technology to redesign their project significantly. According to the SAMR model, what level of modification are they at?

• Replacing analog technology with digital technology without functional change

• Using technology to significantly redesign a learning task

• Using technology in a transformative way to create new learning tasks

• Using technology functionally to augment the learning task

Nora, James, and Aiden are working on a project to implement the SAMR model in their school's curriculum. According to the SAMR model, what level would they be at if they are replacing analog technology with digital technology without any functional change?

• They are at the redefinition level

• They are at the augmentation level

• They are at the modification level

• They are at the substitution level

What is the augmentation level in the SAMR model?

• Replacing analog technology with digital technology without functional change

• Using technology to significantly redesign a learning task

• Using technology functionally to augment the learning task

• Using technology in a transformative way to create new learning tasks

What does the SAMR model encourage teachers to do?

• Use technology as a distraction in the classroom
