SAMR for the Teacher
Analog
The analog way to complete
lesson plans.
Substitution
Tech acts as a direct tool
substitute, with no
functional change
Using Microsoft Word to
type lesson plans.
Augmentation
Tech acts as a direct tool
substitute, with functional
improvement
Teachers began typing their
lesson plans using
spreadsheets, color coding
and adding cute clip art.
Modification
Tech allows for significant
task redesign
We started using Eduphoria
to submit our lesson plans
on-line. We could access
curriculum, standards,
create group planners and it
was saved on-line.
Redefinition
Tech allows for the creation
of new tasks, previously
inconceivable
What could transform
lesson plans? Blogging
those great ideas,
experiences, so that other
people can pin them on
Pinterest.

Substitution

Using MoMA ArtLAB to
draw and color is an
example of substitution.
Augmentation
Tech acts as a direct tool
substitute, with functional
improvement
Using MoMA ArtLAB to
create with shapes that have
already been created.
Students can move shapes
around and throw them
away. This is an example of
augmentation.
Modification
Tech allows for significant
task redesign
Using MoMA ArtLAB and
ChatterPix
App Smashing
Modification
Redefinition
Tech allows for the creation
of new tasks, previously
inconceivable
Beginning a class blog or
student blogs to share
learning. If students ask a
question at the end of a
video, their global audience
could respond.

The level of SAMR is
debatable.
Is technology already
your normal?
What is your comfort level
with technology?
Do you integrate
technology to teach?
Do you integrate technology
to show student learning?
Your turn to decide.
