SAMR Model

TPACK, or Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge, is the resultant when you combine technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and content knowledge. It is a basis for teachers to understand and describe pedagogically in a technology savvy learning environment. SAMR, or Substitution Augmentation Modification and Redefinition, provides an example of how computer technology could impact learning.

• Redefinition: An example of technology usage that would fit under this category would be a computer because you can do everything on a computer and things you were never able to do in the past. 
• Augmentation: I would say that a blog would be a good example of this because it is similar to writing your own material and keeping a journal of it, although now you can publish it on the internet free of charge for people to see. It is not a transformation, but simply a sharing tool and an enhancement.
• Augmentation: I believe that Prezi is an example of this because, similar to a poster, you can still present your information, however, it is in digital form in an aesthetically pleasing format. It keeps the audience engaged, but it is not a transformation of a presentation, simply an enhancement.
• Substitution: A slideshow would be an example of substitution for me because it is a technology but it does not allow for any functional change.
• Modification: I think being able to take video on a device is an example of modification because it is a total transformation of capturing life, but it can only take video.
