Exploring the SAMR Model

What does the SAMR model stand for?

• Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition

• Substitution, Addition, Modification, Redefinition

• Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Reiteration

• Substitution, Augmentation, Replacement, Redefinition

How does the Substitution level of SAMR differ from Augmentation?

• Substitution adds new features, while Augmentation does not change tools.

• Substitution replaces tools without functional change, while Augmentation enhances functionality.

• Substitution enhances functionality, while Augmentation replaces tools.

• Substitution and Augmentation both involve replacing tools with no changes.

Provide an example of a task that fits the Modification level of SAMR.

• Students create a multimedia presentation instead of a written report.

• Students read a textbook chapter and summarize it.

• Students write a traditional essay on a topic.

• Students take a multiple-choice quiz.

What are the key benefits of using the SAMR model in education?

• Increased administrative workload

• Decreased student motivation

• Limited access to technology

• Key benefits of using the SAMR model include improved engagement, enhanced learning outcomes, and a structured approach to integrating technology in education.

How can teachers assess the effectiveness of technology integration using SAMR?

• Assessing technology integration is unnecessary if students are engaged.

• Teachers can use the SAMR model to evaluate technology's impact on learning by assessing its role in substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition of tasks.

• The SAMR model is only applicable to higher education settings.

• Teachers should focus solely on the technology used without considering its impact on learning.

In what ways can the SAMR model enhance student engagement?

• The SAMR model focuses solely on traditional teaching methods.

• The SAMR model discourages the use of technology in classrooms.

• The SAMR model is primarily about standardized testing and assessments.

• The SAMR model enhances student engagement by promoting interactive and personalized learning experiences through technology integration.

Discuss a limitation of the SAMR model in technology integration.

• The SAMR model is widely accepted by all educators.

• The SAMR model provides a clear framework for all technology use.

• The SAMR model is designed to address emotional learning needs.

• A limitation of the SAMR model is that it does not account for diverse learner needs and broader pedagogical strategies.

How does the SAMR model support differentiated instruction?

• The SAMR model is only applicable to advanced learners.

• The SAMR model focuses solely on standardized testing methods.

• The SAMR model discourages the use of technology in the classroom.

• The SAMR model enables educators to customize technology use in ways that address individual learning differences.

Evaluate the impact of SAMR on student learning outcomes.

• SAMR positively impacts student learning outcomes by enhancing engagement and promoting deeper learning.

• SAMR only benefits teachers, not students.

• SAMR decreases student engagement and motivation.

• SAMR has no effect on student learning outcomes.

What strategies can educators use to move from Substitution to Redefinition in the SAMR model?

• Using only traditional textbooks

• Relying solely on lectures

• Implementing standardized testing without technology

• Implement collaborative digital platforms, multimedia tools, virtual/augmented reality, student choice in learning demonstrations, and technology-enhanced assessments.
