Pedagogical Considerations for Successful
Integration of Digital Technologies in the
Classroom.


SAMR Model
Information found on Department of Education WA website.
One model to consider when integrating technology into the classroom is the SAMR model.
The SAMR model describes a continuum of the extent to which technology is integrated in the
classroom; from the enhancement of existing practices to the development and creation of
new practices.
Transformation
Redefinition
Technology allows for
creation of new tasks,
previously inconceivable
Use of iBooks Author to create
media rich ePub books
Modification
Technology allows for
significant task redesign
Camera function to record oral
retells, recording of reading

Augmentation
Technology acts as a
direct tool substitute, with
functional improvement
Basic functions of eBooks are
used such as Read To Me and
dictionary definitions
Substitution
Technology acts as a
direct tool substitute, with
no functional change
eBooks are used in reading
groups
Enhancement
SAMR: Puentedura, R. R., Ph.D., SAMR model.

The SAMR model enables teachers to gauge how technology is utilised in classrooms. The
ratings are influenced by teachers comfort with the technology. The focus is on what can be
done with the technology. The model is premised on ICT as a tool for learning not a substitute
for a teacher. Technology integration can be considered on a continuum - moving from
substitution to redefinition of classroom activity.


Substitution is when the use technology is used as a direct substitute for existing classroom
practices. It is doing the same task with the introduction of technology but without any
modification of the task. For example, using a notetaking application on the iPad to draft a
document rather than handwriting with paper and a pencil.
Augmentation involves some functional improvement but is still a direct tool substitute. The
task has not changed but been enhanced slightly. For example, using some of the iPads built
in tools such as the thesaurus, dictionary or speak mode to augment the classroom task.
If technology integration remains in the substitution and/or augmentation level, classroom
workflows will only be slightly enhanced. Students may be engaged whilst using technology in
the classroom but the use of the device remains defined and limited.
Modification involves giving students a different kind of task. For example, using multimedia
and adding sound and video.
Redefinition is doing something that was inconceivable without technology and gives students
a stage. For example, creating a digital storybook to share with students across the classroom,
school or world.
When technology is used in this way it leads to the transformation of classroom and student
workflows and the technology is used in its most effective form.

TPACK Model
Information found on Department of Education WA website.

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) attempts to identify the nature
of knowledge required by teachers for technology integration in their teaching, while
addressing the complex, multifaceted and situated nature of teacher knowledge. At the
heart of the TPACK framework, is the complex interplay of three primary forms of
knowledge: Content (CK), Pedagogy (PK), and Technology (TK). Teacher researchers
are encouraged to reflect on the extent to which the integration of iPads in their
classroom practice has affected this interplay.
The TPACK approach goes beyond seeing the three knowledge bases in isolation. It
emphasises the new kinds of knowledge that lie at the intersections between them.
Considering P and C together we get Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK). Similarly,
considering T and C taken together, results in Technological Content Knowledge (TCK),
the knowledge of the relationship between technology and content. At the intersection
of T and P, is Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK), which emphasizes the
existence, components and capabilities of various technologies as they are used in the
settings of teaching and learning.
Finally, at the intersection of all three elements is Technological Pedagogical Content
Knowledge (TPACK). Effective technology integration relies on understanding and
negotiating the relationships between these three components of knowledge. Effective
technology integration for pedagogy around specific subject matter requires
developing sensitivity to the dynamic relationship between all three components.
