SAMR: Substitution Augmentation Modification Redefinition Model

A four-level approach to examining classroom use of technology developed by  Dr. Ruben Puentedura funded by Maine Learning Technology Initiative.

SAMR Model

 Substitution: • What is gained by replacing the older technology with the new technology?
Substitution to Augmentation: Has an improvement been added to the task process that could not be accomplished with the older technology at a fundamental level? How does this feature contribute to the design?
Augmentation - Modification: How is the original task being modified? Does this modification fundamentally depend upon the new technology? How does this modification contribute to the design?
Modification - Redefinition: What is the new task? Is any portion of the original task retained? How is the new task uniquely made possible by the new technology? How does it contribute to the design?

TPACK

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is a framework that identifies the knowledge teachers need to teach effectively with technology.
