Technology can be used in a variety of ways in your classroom, but not every use of technology promotes higher level thinking and redefines the use of technology in the classroom. Dr. Ruben Puentedura created the SAMR Model to help teachers think about how they design, develop, and infuse digital learning in ways that can't be done without the tech.
This video, Introduction to the SAMR Model, shows how tech can be integrated on four levels, with the bottom level being where you use technology as a substitute for something that can be done without it and the top level redefines the task. Every use of technology in your classroom will not reach the top level of the model, but your lessons should move away from substitution towards redefinition and allowing your students to create, evaluate, and analyze the information they are learning.
