This week I learned SAMR model, which is a framework created by Dr. Ruben Puentedura that categorizes four different degrees of classroom technology integration. The letters “SAMR” stand for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition. The SAMR model was created to share a common language across disciplines as teachers strive to personalize learning and help students visualize complex concepts. The SAMR Model can be especially powerful during remote and blended learning when integrated classroom technology makes teaching and learning a more seamless experience for educators and students.
Sketchnoting is a form of note-taking, but compared with typical note-taking, it involves more visual effects, so it is the “sketch” part. Add the whole idea behind The sketches in the notes can dig into certain parts of your brain. If you only use words to explore ideas, these parts will be dormant. Use text and visual effects while taking notes. The combination of the two is the most powerful.
Hamilton, Rosenberg, and Akcaoglu（2016）found that there are ways to further refine and clarify the SAMR model. First, they suggest modifying or extending the SAMR model to make it context-sensitive. They also suggested redesigning the classification format of the SAMR model to take into account the dynamic nature of teaching and learning using technology. Finally, contrary to what the SAMR model implies, they believe that technology integration is neither an educational goal nor sufficient to improve learning outcomes.
