The SAMR model created by Dr. Ruben Puentedura categorizes ways that technology can be used in education into four levels: substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition. Substitution involves using technology for similar tasks as traditional approaches without functional change, such as writing essays in WordPress instead of by hand. Augmentation includes some functional improvement, such as adding interactive comments to an e-book. At higher levels, modification and redefinition use technology to allow new tasks like collaborating or communicating in new ways that were not possible without technology. The SAMR model helps educators evaluate how technology integrates with pedagogy.
