The document discusses the SAMR model, which provides a framework for teachers to evaluate how technology might enhance learning. The SAMR model consists of four levels: substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition. Substitution involves using technology as a direct substitute with no functional change. Augmentation is a direct substitute with functional improvement. Modification allows for significant task redesign. Redefinition involves using technology to create new tasks previously inconceivable. The document provides examples of how different technologies fit into each level and questions to help transition between the levels when designing lessons.

17. The SAMR Ladder:
Questions and Transitions
• Substitution:
• What will I gain by replacing the older technology with the new technology?
• Substitution to Augmentation:
• Have I added a feature to the task process that could not be done with the
older technology at a fundamental level?
• How does this feature contribute to my design?
• Augmentation to Modification:
• How is the original task being modified?
• Does this modification depend upon the new technology?
• How does this modification contribute to my design?
• Modification to Redefinition:
• What is the new task?
• Will it replace or supplement older tasks?
• How is it uniquely made possible by the new technology?
• How does it contribute to my design?
