Checkpoints to Consider

SAMR Model

I was first introduced to the SAMR Model by Lorraine Vickery at the 2013 VPLD Hui.  It is something I am taking the time to delve into more as it is a superb benchmark for how and why we are including e-learning. 

Substitution, Augmentation, Modification and Redefinition should be foremost in our minds as we plan and work with our students.  E-learning should be about making the most of the tool rather than a jazzed up version of something that could be completed in another way.

Below is a flow diagram Lorraine shared with us created by Mark Anderson that we should work through if we are creating higher order tasks for our students.  I have also included a few You Tube clips that will explain this model well including one by Mark Anderson.
