SMAR model

 Concept on SMAR model

SAMR model is a framework used to evaluate the integration of technology in education. It was developed by Dr. Ruben Puentedura and stands for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition. The model provides a way for educators to assess how technology is being used in the classroom and to encourage higher-order thinking skills and more meaningful learning experiences.

Substitution level, technology is used as a direct substitute for a traditional tool, with no functional change. At the Augmentation level, technology provides some functional improvement over the traditional tool. At the Modification level, technology allows for significant redesign of tasks. Finally, at the Redefinition level, technology enables new tasks that were previously inconceivable.

The SAMR model encourages educators to strive for technology integration that goes beyond simply replacing traditional methods with digital tools and instead focuses on how technology can transform and enhance learning experiences.
