The use of technology as a substitute for existing tools with no functional change to the lesson/activity. Using new technology tools to replace old ones.
Augmentation is one step up from substitution. While teachers use technology as a "direct tool substitute," it allows for functional improvement of tasks.
Using technology more effectively to redesign lessons/activities to transform learning for students.
Completely reimagining the task because new technology allows for tasks that were previously impossible.
