SAMR Model and Technology Integration

The video explores how technology can transform learning by using the SAMR model, developed by Dr. Ruben Padura. The model helps teachers evaluate their technology integration through four stages: substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition. Each stage represents a different level of technology use, from enhancing to transforming learning. The video provides examples of classroom tasks evolving through these stages and offers reflection questions to help educators assess their technology use and design tasks that promote higher order thinking skills.

What is the primary goal of integrating technology in education according to the introduction?

• To make learning more entertaining

• To replace teachers with computers

• To enhance student engagement and learning experiences

• To reduce the cost of educational materials

Who developed the SAMR model for evaluating technology integration in education?

• Dr. Ruben Puentedura

• Dr. Howard Gardner

• Dr. John Dewey

• Dr. Maria Montessori

What does the dotted line in the SAMR model represent?

• The boundary between traditional and modern teaching

• The shift from enhancing to transforming learning

• The limit of technology use in classrooms

• The separation between teachers and students

In the SAMR model, what does the 'Substitution' stage involve?

• Enhancing a task with new features

• Using technology to perform the same task with no functional change

• Replacing a task with a completely new one

• Collaborating with peers online

How does the 'Augmentation' stage differ from 'Substitution' in the SAMR model?

• It adds functional improvements to the task

• It involves creating new tasks

• It eliminates the need for a teacher

• It focuses on entertainment

What is a key feature of the 'Modification' stage in the SAMR model?

• Tasks remain unchanged

• Tasks are made more difficult

• Tasks are redesigned significantly

• Tasks are eliminated

In the 'Redefinition' stage, what new possibilities does technology introduce?

• Creating tasks that were previously impossible

• Simplifying existing tasks

• Focusing solely on individual work

• Removing the need for student collaboration

Which stage of the SAMR model involves using technology to create entirely new tasks?

• Redefinition

• Modification

• Augmentation

• Substitution

What is one of the reflection questions suggested by Dr. Puentedura?

• How can I make my lessons more entertaining?

• What will I gain by replacing the older technology with the new technology?

• How can I reduce the use of technology in my classroom?

• What is the easiest way to avoid using technology?

Why is it important to evaluate the design of a classroom task when integrating technology?

• To ensure it aligns with 21st-century learning standards

• To make the task more difficult

• To eliminate the need for textbooks

• To reduce the number of students in the classroom
