How Do You Infuse Technology? A Quick Look at the SAMR Model

Next year, all secondary students in Castleberry will have daily access to a device to use in class. How these devices are used can have a profound impact on student learning. We have looked at Bloom's Digital Taxonomy to determine the level of thinking that is required to master a particular objective. However, many still see the infusion of technology as a separate entity. So how do we meld curriculum and technology together so that they seamlessly work together?

Dr. Ruben Puentedura, Ph.D. created the SAMR Model that shows the progression of technology infusion. The great thing about this model is that it focuses on student learning, not the tools. As I researched about this model, I found the video embedded below. It is a short video that takes you on a quick tour of the model.
