"It not the tool, it's the creative assessment." ~ Kathy Schrock
While I am not suggesting that we should ALWAYS replace these traditional assignments, I do know that when students climb up the SAMR ladder, more features are possible to help them reach higher order thinking skills. Also, many of these apps/programs can shuffle around the matrix depending on use, or even combined for greater effect. Finally, never be afraid to create an assignment and leave the choices open-ended... you never what your students will come up with!
