“We need the next great generation to solve the problem of climate change.”

On vaccines- “I don’t want to send my kid to school with your kid who’s a freaking petri dish!”

SAMRTime: Transform Learning Through Integration

Melanie Burford, Laura Bates, Tracy Bulot, Peggy Perret, McKinney ISD

(also Angela McNally and Christy Ferguson, McKinney ISD)

http://www.tceaconvention.org/2015/handouts/Session-150619.pdf

 

SAMR- Enhancement vs. Transformation

Substitution- Writing a story on the computer with word processing

Augmentation- same as above, but using Spell Check, formatting, etc.

Modification- using Google Docs instead of word processing, can share with the class and provide feedback

Redefinition- turning the stories into videos

More info about SAMR- Kathy Schrock http://www.schrockguide.net/samr.html & Jen Roberts- http://www.litandtech.com/2013/11/turning-samr-into-tech-what-models-are.html
