For instance, the "Substitution" level is using Google Docs as a word processor to replace paper and pencil - that is the "Substitution" level. No doubt a good start, but, uh, insufficient in the grand scheme of things. You can probably get the sense that moving 'up' this chain is a good thing for students.
Watch the short video to learn more! If you're still curious (hint: you should be!), page through Dr. Puentedura's preso, which provides context and some good examples in different subject areas. It'll take a minute to load up in your browser.
As we wind up the school year, it's a good time to evaluate what you're trying to accomplish with your 'program' in general, where tech can and should fit, and also to try to work your way 'up' the SAMR model. Or, at least plan, and then DO, this evaluation during the calm(?) summer months.
For some additional resources, go to this page on the Technology & Learning website. There is a wealth of information beyond SAMR that's worth spending some time exploring as well.
If you're already on summer break, congratulations on a job well done, and if you are still wrapping up the year: hang in there, the finish line is in sight! Cheers to all!!!
