SAMR Training @JH/HS Day 1

Wednesday morning during collaboration time six teachers (Kathi, Abi, Adam, Bobbi, Chad, and Mark) shared the lessons they learned about technology integration and the SAMR model.  Today's session focused on how we are currently using technology and an introduction to the SAMR model.

Eastbrook's view of the SAMR model was presented as a growth model for teachers.  Importance was placed on changing teaching and finding technology to support these changes.  "We" want standards to drive what takes place in the classroom, not technology.  The technology cannot and will not replace the expertise of the teacher's content knowledge, but can be a valuable tool as teachers Augment, Modify, and Redefine their curriculum.

During the second half of the session teachers were asked to organize current technology uses based on the SAMR model.  A variety of technology activities were placed at each level of the model as teachers shared how the technology allowed previous activities to be Augmented, Modified, or Redefined.  As a result of this activity, we were able to reflect on all of the positive technology uses already taking place at Eastbrook.

Next Wednesday we will look at specific activities and brainstorm how the activities can be moved up the SAMR model.
