The
SAMR is known as the Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition Model. In order to use this model for my high school
Marketing (10th-12th grade students), I would use technology as a different method
of teaching to impact student learning. The examples using traditional methods
and integrating technology using the SAMR are:
Substitution:
Instead
of writing chapter or unit responses or questions with pen and paper, I would have
students use Microsoft Word or Google
Docs. I would also have students use online dictionary (Merriam-Webster or
Dictionary.com) instead of printed dictionary for vocabulary usage. A smart
board allows student to communicate and explain their responses.
Augmentation:
Instead
of having students type a essay paper, print it out, and handed to the teacher
to read for grading, I would have student use their email (Yahoo, Gmail, AOL, etc.)
to submit their essay to other students in the class for peer review, and the
final copied forward to teacher for grading. The students can also create Evernote and Doodle Buddy. Other software such as MindMapping and Cmap are excellent for concept mapping ideas, terms, and concepts.
Modification
Instead
of having students create a storyboard with pictures and drawings for a television
commercial, I would have students create a storyboard using technology that
would include using multimedia adding sound and video. The students would use Lino or Notability. I would also
have a blog created so that students
will be able to share their projects and receive feedback from peers.
Redefintion
Instead
of student writing and making presentations about the marketing program, the students
will create a video about marketing education program that can be used for
various purposes such as school activities and events. The student will use video
production software (Movie Maker and
Techradar), multimedia programs (Power
Point, Prezi, Slidedog, and ClearSlide/SlideRocket), video and digital
camera.
I enjoyed reading your SARM lessons ideas. I have very similar ideas as to what I would include in my health classes. I think the use of Google docs as a substitution is an easy and beneficial change to make for a lot of writing assignments. During your blog assignment would you think of having the students share their blogs with people from outside the classroom? Really like the video idea that you have in the last portion. I think this is something that can be used to draw attention and interest to your classes. You could show the video during things like open house or parent teacher conferences!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Will. I found this lesson interesting because of how lessons can be upgraded to higher level thinking activities, tasks and assessments. I use some of the web tools on a regular basis, but I am going to investigate to if I can use other tools in my building. I also want to add that I found it interesting that the Bloom Taxonomy and the SMAR format is similar for traditional and technology. I would not let the students use a blog outside side the classroom. Right now since I am still learning about many tools we being exposed to in class.
ReplyDeletePart of your A, which involves using email to submit for grading instead of physically handing it in, could also be Substitution. However, S and A in the model could blur together.
ReplyDeleteI think in implementing the SMAR model that many of the Substitution and Augementative concepts and tools are easily used at the same time. The knowledge aspects of the model is what I find as an ideal strategy for integrating technology to build higher learning skills for students.
