Outcome
- Be aware of SAMR and TPACK models for technology integration
- Explain how your practice aligns with the SAMR and TPACK models for technology integration.
We are introducing you to two models that will help you to understand where technology fits in to lessons when we talk about technology integration.
1. TPACK Model
TPACK is a useful model for educators as they begin to use digital tools and strategies to support teaching and learning. This model, developed by educational researchers Mishra and Kohler (2006), is designed around the idea that content (what you teach) and pedagogy (how you teach) must be the basis for any technology that you plan to use in your classroom to enhance learning.

2. SAMR Model
Watch this Video: SAMR Model – Ruben Puentedura (4:07) in which Dr Ruben Puentedura explains the SAMR observation framework which he developed:
SAMR offers a very practical model for analysis of lessons.. Dr Ruben Puentedura explained it briefly in the video above, but if you could not access the video you can read about it here: Using SAMR to Teach Above the Line.
