SAMR Model!

   Hello everyone! Today's post will be about the one of the technological teaching models, SAMR Model! And i will show you the mindmap i have prepared by using Miro, which is an online whiteboard tool that you can develop your ideas and projects very easily.

   SAMR is a technological teaching model that is created by Ruben Puentedura, for learners to enhance their current practice and improve their learning experience by evolving these difference types of practices with the use of technology through the levels of Substition, Augmentation, Modification and Redefinition.

Substitution: It is the level which the learner substitues the traditional material with a technological material. For example, writing notes on Ipad or a laptop, instead of a notebook.

Augmentation: The learner improves the task functionally by using technology. For instance, creating a mindmap online with the advantages of editing its colors and branches, zooming to view it much easier.

Modification: At this level, the task is redesigned by the technology used. For example, turning the mindmap into a collaborative material by working on it online at the same time, adding pictures, videos etc.

Redefinition: In this ultimate level, technology is the vital need for the tasks that the learners create. The task is completely different from its first version as it gives the learner the control of their own learning and ownership of their task. For instance, now the learners can make their task by vlogging, podcasting, telecollaboration, editing and also sharing these on their blogs. They can make unique works by combining them. 

This is all about SAMR Model i can share. Also I am dropping the link of Ruben Puentedura's video in which he talks about how he developed the SAMR Model, how it works and how it is used in learning and teaching. You can check it out if you're interested: https://youtu.be/ZQTx2UQQvbU
