Dimension.4 SAMR

Dimension 1.4

"Instructional Planning Includes:

  • Opportunities for students to generate questions that lead to further inquiry and promote complex, higher-order thinking, problem solving, and real world application."

SAMR: Possible considerations for Dimension 1.4

  • Is technology used to add complexity, depth, and cross-curricular connections to student learning?
  • Can assignments, activities, and assessments be completed without technology and maintain the same level of rigor and relevance?
  • Can students Google answers to questions or must they apply previous knowledge and research to create their own answers to questions or problems?
  • Are students provided with all materials or are they encouraged to research and find answers on their own?
  • Are products identical (30 of the same thing) or are they individualized based on student choices?
