SAMR Drawing it all together

 

Teaching Digitally: All About the SAMR Model - The Owl Teacher

Write a reflection that draws together Blooms Taxonomy, your understanding of ICT pedagogy and the SAMR model as it relates to your teaching context. 

Rather than think about what you have experienced in schools, try to take an aspirational position on this reflection. Examine not what currently exists, but what is possible.
This will become the foundation of your own pedagogical framework which will later be mapped against a learning design.
When reflecting on Blooms Taxonomy, ICT pedagogies and the SAMR Model, it can be noted that the SAMR Model and Bloom's Taxonomy are similar frameworks, showing progressions in levels of learning and tools required to progress. As mentioned previously, when students are evaluating 'strategies to manage personal, physical and social changes' (ACPPS071), they can use technological tools in varying ways, either substituting, augmenting, modifying and redefining tasks. When given this task, at first the task can be set out in the first stage of the Gradual Release of Responsibility Model (GRRM), where the teacher is using technology by substituting and augmenting. Then when students apply critical thinking, they can modify and redefine using technological tools, the 'You Do' stage in GRRM. Technology pedagogies need to demonstrate understanding of the progressions of the mentioned frameworks, to ensure students can achieve their potential and are not given limitations.
