Dr. Ruben Puentedura developed the SAMR model as a way for teachers to evaluate how they are incorporating technology into their instructional practice. The SAMR model lays out four tiers of online learning, presented roughly in order of their transformative power: substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition.
When you reflect upon how you are integrating technology into your classroom it’s tempting to think of SAMR as a mountain to be summited. But good technology integration isn’t about living at the top of the SAMR model; it’s about being aware of the range of options and picking the right strategy for the lesson at hand.
Referring to the SAMR model, teachers can evaluate the technology use by responding to these questions:
Where does my lesson fit within the SAMR framework?
How am I going to teach this and see evidence of student learning?
Can technology help to get all students equitable access to meaningful learning?
The Learning First Framework.pdfTHE LEARNING FIRST FRAMEWORK
The Triple E Framework was developed at the University of Michigan based on current research around technology use in learning. The framework allows teachers to put the needs of the learner first, and then select technology tools that leverage authentic engagement in the instructional goals. This framework was designed to:
Integrate the current research on characteristics of effective teaching and learning strategies with tech tools.
Focus specifically on how the technology is meeting the needs of the learner.
Be user-friendly for a quick evaluation.
Help teachers evaluate lesson plans and technology tools, and identify effective learning strategies built into both.
Leave room for pedagogical strategies to work with technology tools, rather than encouraging teachers to look at technology tools in isolation.
UDL TECH.pdfUNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR LEARNING
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights into how humans learn. The research basis for the general principles of UDL is also grounded in modern neuroscience. The three basic principles are built upon the knowledge that our learning brains are composed of three different networks, recognition, strategic, and affective.
The UDL Guidelines align these three networks with the three principles (recognition to representation, strategic to action and expression, and affective to engagement). This empirical base in neuroscience provides a solid foundation for understanding how the learning brain intersects with effective instruction. This alignment is further extended and clarified by the guidelines and checkpoints.
