If you haven't heard about the SAMR (pronounced "Sam-er") model, it's time to check it out. Basically, the SAMR model presents a framework for teachers to use as they think about incorporating technology into their classroom. As technology has been progressing at CAT, I know many of you have already from Substitution to Augmentation which is a great step towards enhancing learning; however, our goal should be to transform learning. That's when we want to get to Modification and Redefinition. Now I could write more about the SAMR model, but I really think this 120 second video would be more beneficial. After all, I'm sure you're all quite busy, right? Hooray for new beginnings and opportunities to use the SAMR model! Cheers, Lesley (p.s. Please don't miss the above link to the article: Educational Technology and Mobile Learning: SAMR Model. It gives classroom examples of the SAMR model, so I know you will come away with ideas of how to transform your classes!)

This is super interesting Lesley. I would like to incorporate more technology into my 3rd grade classroom daily learning activities, do you have any links or suggestions to pass along for this age?
