The SAMR model is a helpful framework for helping improve our use of technology in the classroom.
Lets use Starbucks as an example:
S - Substitution - technology is simply replacing something you could have already done. A regular cup of coffee, for a Starbucks cup of coffee. Still the same thing.
A - Augmentation - technology adds something extra to what you could have done before. A regular cup of coffee for a Starbucks Iced Latte. Same, just a little different.
M - Modification - technology changes the way we can do a project, adding options we couldn't have done before. A regular cup of coffee for a iced Caramel Macchiato, lots of frills.
R - Redefinition - technology changes the project / product into something that could not have been created without the use of technology. A regular cup of coffee for a Pumpkin Spiced Latte, trademarked by Starbucks.
