ICT Integration Model – SAMR Model
SAMR Model
SAMR stands for:
- Substitution: Technology is used as a direct substitute for a traditional tool without significant change.
- Augmentation: Technology provides an improvement over traditional methods, enhancing learning tasks.
- Modification: Technology allows for significant task redesign, fostering new opportunities for learning.
- Redefinition: Technology enables the creation of new tasks that were previously inconceivable.
The purpose of the SAMR model is to help educators move beyond simply using technology for the sake of using it but to transform and enhance the learning experience. By progressing through the SAMR levels, teachers can leverage technology to engage students in more meaningful and impactful ways, ultimately improving learning outcomes.
Advantages of SAMR Model
- Encourages Higher-Level Thinking: Moving up the SAMR ladder encourages critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity among students.
- Enhances Student Engagement: Utilizing technology in transformative ways can increase student engagement and motivation in the learning process.
- Personalized Learning: Technology integration at the Modification and Redefinition levels allows for more personalized and differentiated instruction to meet the diverse needs of learners.
- Prepares Students for the Future: By incorporating technology effectively through SAMR, students develop essential digital literacy skills necessary for success in the 21st century.
- Innovative Teaching Practices: Teachers can explore innovative teaching methods and resources that go beyond traditional approaches, leading to dynamic and effective instruction.
Incorporating the SAMR model into lesson planning can empower educators to make purposeful decisions about technology integration, ultimately transforming the learning experience for students and preparing them for a digital world.
Lesson plan with implementation of the SAMR Model
Lesson No.: 1
Teacher’s Name: Dechen Namgay Class: IV
Subject: Social Studies Time: 45 Minutes
Topic: Seasons
Teaching Learning Materials: Power Point, Laptop, Mobile phones/Computers, YouTube, MentiMeter, AutoDraw.
ICT Model: SAMR Model
Previous knowledge: Students already have the knowledge of seasons and how they change throughout the year.
Lesson objectives: By the end of the lesson, students will be able to;
Identify and describe the characteristics of each of the four seasons after the lesson;
Understand the reasons behind seasonal changes;
Compare and contrast weather, activities, and natural phenomenon associated with the season accurately.
Lesson Introduction (5 Minutes)
The teacher will ask the students to think about what they know about seasons. After thinking time, the teacher will let the students brainstorm their ideas in their groups and then let each group share what they have discussed.
Lesson Development (35 minutes)
Information Input
The teacher will show pictures of the seasons in the powerpoint and ask the learners to describe what they see in each slide. Have the learners brainstorm and list activities, weather patterns and natural phenomena associated with each season.
