SAMR Model
The SAMR Model is a framework
designed to assist educators with
designing, developing, and
incorporating digital learning into their
curriculum.
It was created by Dr. Ruben R.
Puentedura with the goal to help
students experience high level of
achievement through the use of
technology.

SAMR Model and Blooms
https://www.graphite.org/blog/samr-and-blooms-taxonomy-assembling-the-puzzle
SAMR Model- Substitution
Definition: technology acts as a direct tool for
substitution, with no functional change
Example:
-internet research
-using a word processor for a writing assignment
-basic PowerPoint presentation (text and images)
-Excel to color in fractions
SAMR Model- Augmentation
Definition: technology acts as a direct tool
substitute, with functional improvement
Example:
-PowerPoint with interactive media (audio,
video, hyperlinks)
-online sites to supplement learning (YouTube, TTM, Istation)
-using a CMS/LMS for almost immediate feedback
on assessments (DyKnow, Eduphoria Aware, Schoology, etc.)
SAMR Model- Modification
Definition: technology allows for significant task
redesign
Example:
-digital brochure with multimedia
-student response via a digital collaboration board
(Padlet, OneNote Class Notebook)
-interactive images/videos/presentations (Thinglink,
Zaption, EdPuzzle, Class Flow, etc.)
SAMR Model-Redefinition
Definition: technology allows for the creation of new
tasks, previously unconceivable
Example:
-video project as an assessment
-student creates short video book trailer (Animoto,
Go Animate, Powtoon, etc.), then shared via a
link or QR code
-Digital mind map (Prezi) with interactive media
-student created website
-students use Office Mix to create tutorial videos for eportfolio
