Differentiation

Technology Integration, SAMR, and Differentiation

[|SAMR] - The **S**ubstitution **A**ugmentation **M**odification **R**edefinition Model offers a method of seeing how computer technology might impact teaching and learning. It also shows a progression that adopters of educational technology often follow as they progress through teaching and learning with technology.

The following awesome definition of the SAMR model is from [|Downers Grove Grade School District 58]

A SAMRi is an educator who has embraced the ideas of the SAMR framework in their teaching and practice. //A SAMRi's journey is never complete but one that grows and evolves as they develop their abilities to transform their teaching, and the learning of their students.// The SAMRi teacher uses the SAMR ladder of questions as a guide to their use of technology, new and old, in their teaching.

// • How does it contribute to my design? //

[|Taking a Dip in the SAMR Swimming Pool] **-** The author proposes that SAMR isn’t a ladder that we should try to climb, but instead a pool that we need to be swimming in.



Like [|this description] of SAMR:
 * 1) **S for Substitution** - the technology performs the exact same role as a more traditional tool, but is not necessary.
 * 2) **A for Augmentation** - the technology offers some functional benefit, but is still not necessary.
 * 3) **M is for Modification** - the technology is necessary in order to create a new product.
 * 4) **R is for Redefinition** - the technology is necessary to provide tools for students to explore, collaborate and guide their learning.
