SAMR

Levels of ICT integration

About SAMR model


SAMR, which stands for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition, is a framework used to evaluate the level of technology integration in education. Each level represents a different way that technology can be used in the classroom, ranging from simply substituting traditional methods to completely transforming learning experiences. At the substitution level, technology is used as a direct substitute for traditional tools without significant change in the task. For example, using a word processor instead of handwriting assignments. Augmentation involves using technology to enhance the task in some way. This could be through adding features like spell check or incorporating multimedia elements into presentations. Modification takes things a step further by using technology to significantly redesign the task. This might involve collaborative writing using Google Docs or creating digital portfolios to showcase student work. Finally, redefinition occurs when technology allows for the creation of entirely new tasks that were previously inconceivable. This could include things like global collaboration projects or virtual reality simulations.


The advantages of the SAMR model are numerous. It provides educators with a framework for understanding the different ways technology can be integrated into their teaching practice, allowing them to make informed decisions about which tools to use and how to use them effectively. It also encourages educators to strive for higher levels of technology integration, ultimately leading to more engaging and meaningful learning experiences for students. Personally, I find the SAMR model to be a valuable tool for guiding technology integration in education. It helps me to think critically about the ways in which technology can enhance learning and encourages me to push beyond simply using technology for the sake of using technology. By aiming for modification and redefinition, I believe we can create truly transformative learning experiences that empower students to become active participants in their own education.

Lesson plan

Subject: Science

Topic: States of matter

Class: IV

Time: 45mins

TLM: PowerPoint, images, video link, textbook

ICT model: SAMR


Previous knowledge: They have learned about the molecules. 


Lesson Objectives: By the end of the session, students will be able to:

  • identify the three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) correctly after the lesson.

  • write down 3 examples each of the three states of matter accurately with the help of a video.

  • understand how three states of matter can change from one state to another clearly after the discussion. 


Lesson Introduction (5mins)

Start the lesson with a greeting.

Show students with a short video clip on three states of matter.

https://youtu.be/JQ4WduVp9k4

Ask students about their understanding of the video.

Discuss their ideas and understanding. 

Introduce the topic that is “three states of matter” to the students. 




Lesson development (35 mins)

Display the PPT through the projector. 

THREE STATES OF MATTTER.pptx

Explain about the three states of matter in detail with the help of a PPT.

After explanation, provide students with various objects representing three states of matter such as ball, water and balloon with filled air.

Encourage them to touch, feel and examine each object and its properties. 



Activity 1:

Set up different stations for students to explore the state of matter.

For the solid station, provide clay or modeling dough for students to shape and observe the solid properties.

For the liquid stations, provide containers filled with water, and let students pour, stir and observe the liquid properties.

For the gas station, inflate balloons and let students feel the air inside and observe the liquid properties. 

Let students observe and write down in their notebook


Monitor

Walk around and observe students' participation.


Follow up

Bring the students together for a group discussion .

Ask them to share their observations, experiences and any new questions they have about the state of matter. 




Activity 2:

Let students scan the QR code.

There are 3 quizzes for students to answer.

I will change the slide once they finish answering the first question.

I will check their answers and see how many of them could solve all the questions correctly and how many of them need further assistance.

Lesson closure

Summarize the important key points discussed in the class.

Provide students with exit tickets each for them to write down their understanding of the lesson and doubts.
