Introduction to the SAMR Model

Introduction to the SAMR Model | ICT for Australian Curriculum | Scoop.it
Watch Common Sense Media's Introduction to the SAMR Model video to help you make informed decisions.
Maree Whiteley's insight:
Dr. Ruben Puentedura developed the SAMR model as a way for teachers to evaluate how they are incorporating technology into their instructional practice. You can use SAMR to reflect upon how you are integrating technology into your classroom. Is it an act of Substitution? Augmentation? Modification? Or Redefinition?

Bloom's Digital Taxonomy Verbs [Infographic]

Bloom's Digital Taxonomy Verbs [Infographic] | ICT for Australian Curriculum | Scoop.it
Feel free to share this infographic showcasing over 200 Bloom's Digital Taxonomy verbs for use in any classroom environment!
Maree Whiteley's insight:
When using Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy (a revised take on Bloom’s devised by educator Andrew Churches), it helps to have a list of taxonomy verbs to know what actions define each stage of the taxonomy. This is useful for lesson planning, rubric making, and any other teacher-oriented task requiring planning and assessment strategies. The Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy verbs in this handy infographic apply specifically to each stage of the taxonomy, from LOTS (lower-order thinking skills) to the HOTS (higher-order thinking skills).
Lynn Heere's curator insight, May 9, 2016 9:04 AM
a great go-to for using Bloom's verbs when planning lessons.

How SAMR integrates with pedagogy and the various digital platforms that can assist in the various layers
Mr. E's curator insight, June 19, 2021 1:09 AM

This is a great pedagogical tool if you want to integrate ICTs that will be appropriate when applying the SAMR model to your lessons. As Carrington (2016) suggests, "It's not about the apps, it's about the pedagogy". If you know what you want to implement in a lesson where students need create, then this tool can assist you in finding the relevant app that can supplement your teaching.
