Today we start our 5 week series on Dr. Ruben Puentedura's SAMR model. SAMR stands for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition. We will examine a level a week, starting next week with Substitution. 
The SAMR model can be a lens we use when integrating technology in the classroom. As more and more tech is being added to the classroom, and the pressures become greater to implement technology, we need to examine exactly how the technology is being used in the classroom. It is a great model to use when planning and reflecting on your lessons. The model is also a way in which to create a common language around tech integration.
To get started on the SAMR model, here are a couple videos talking about the model. The first video is 7 minutes long, and the 2nd video is 120 seconds.
Next week we will look at the first level of the SAMR model, substitution.
