SAMR Model

The SAMR Model is the framework for the integration of technology in the classroom that the Visionary Instruction Plan (VIP) follows for Lockhart ISD. It is categorized by four different degrees of integration:

• • • • • S - Substitution - Technology acts as a direct substitute, with no functional change.

        • A - Augmentation - Technology acts as a direct substitute, with functional improvement.

        • M - Modification - Technology allows for significant task redesign.

        • R - Redefinition - Technology allows for the creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable.

To reach the Transformation phase of the SAMR which includes Modification and Redefinition the 4C's must be included in your lesson design.  The 4Cs are:

• Creativity

• Collaboration

• Communication

• Critical Thinking
