Technology Integration Models (SAMR and TIM)

Situation: A middle school math teacher substitutes a set of paper tests for secured Google Forms.

Instruction: Identify the level of technology integration. Type only the number codes.

Integration Code: 1 = Substitution; 2 = Augmentation; 3 = Modification; 4 = Redefinition

Situation: A science teacher shifts how students learn about light from showing a diagram of light traveling to providing an interactive computer simulation.

Instruction: Identify the level of technology integration. Type only the number codes.

Integration Code: 1 = Substitution; 2 = Augmentation; 3 = Modification; 4 = Redefinition

Situation: Instead of a teacher-led, whole-class read-aloud lesson, the students use hand-held devices to simultaneously read and listen to individual digital stories.

Instruction: Identify the level of technology integration. Type only the number codes.

Integration Code: 1 = Substitution; 2 = Augmentation; 3 = Modification; 4 = Redefinition

Situation: Instead of assigning a social science-based persuasive essay, a teacher requires students to create and present their arguments through created and edited videos.

Instruction: Identify the level of technology integration. Type only the number codes.

Integration Code: 1 = Substitution; 2 = Augmentation; 3 = Modification; 4 = Redefinition

Situation: Students watching an instructional video on a website or using a computer program for drill and practice activities.

Instruction: Identify the characteristics of the learning environment and levels of technology integration. Type only the codes for the learning environment (1st, letter) and integration level (2nd, number).

Learning Environment: A = Active; B = Collaborative; C = Constructive; D = Authentic; E = Goal-Directed

Technology Integration: 1 = Entry; 2 = Adoption; 3 = Adaption; 4 = Infusion; 5 = Transformation

Example Answer: If the answer is Active Entry, then only type A1

Situation: The professor allows students to search articles in ProQuest and EBSCO to explore the effects of AI in education.

Instruction: Identify the characteristics of the learning environment and levels of technology integration. Type only the codes for the learning environment (1st, letter) and integration level (2nd, number).

Learning Environment: A = Active; B = Collaborative; C = Constructive; D = Authentic; E = Goal-Directed

Technology Integration: 1 = Entry; 2 = Adoption; 3 = Adaption; 4 = Infusion; 5 = Transformation

Example Answer: If the answer is Active Entry, then only type A1

Situation: The students are encouraged to use AutoCAD and a 3D printer to design and build a new hydroponics system.

Instruction: Identify the characteristics of the learning environment and levels of technology integration. Type only the codes for the learning environment (1st, letter) and integration level (2nd, number).

Learning Environment: A = Active; B = Collaborative; C = Constructive; D = Authentic; E = Goal-Directed

Technology Integration: 1 = Entry; 2 = Adoption; 3 = Adaption; 4 = Infusion; 5 = Transformation

Example Answer: If the answer is Active Entry, then only type A1

Situation: For a project, the teachers made Google Chat workspaces for each group of students.

Instruction: Identify the characteristics of the learning environment and levels of technology integration. Type only the codes for the learning environment (1st, letter) and integration level (2nd, number).

Learning Environment: A = Active; B = Collaborative; C = Constructive; D = Authentic; E = Goal-Directed

Technology Integration: 1 = Entry; 2 = Adoption; 3 = Adaption; 4 = Infusion; 5 = Transformation

Example Answer: If the answer is Active Entry, then only type A1

Situation: In a project, one group chose to make a Google Sheet to report accomplishments while the other group found it easier to record inputs using the history feature of Google Docs

Instruction: Identify the characteristics of the learning environment and levels of technology integration. Type only the codes for the learning environment (1st, letter) and integration level (2nd, number).

Learning Environment: A = Active; B = Collaborative; C = Constructive; D = Authentic; E = Goal-Directed

Technology Integration: 1 = Entry; 2 = Adoption; 3 = Adaption; 4 = Infusion; 5 = Transformation

Example Answer: If the answer is Active Entry, then only type A1
