SAMR : A model for the integration of technology
Substitution => Augmentation => Modification => Redefinition
While there has been a bit of question as to the effectiveness of SAMR, a shift to move beyond SAMR, and a few proposed changes to the structure of the model floating around online, I have to say that hearing Dr. Ruben Puentedura (you may know him as the father of SAMR) speak at iPad Summit still felt like a rare app-ortunity and a truly inspiring treat.
As I am still collecting my thoughts and ideas from the event, I wanted to share some really great resources from the Dr. SAMR.
