Introduction to S.A.M.R. Model (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition)

The S.A.M.R. model guides educators in designing technology-integrated units to transform the learning environment.

We will review the S.A.M.R. model and look at several examples of how this model can be applied to projects in your classroom.
