SAMR

Levels of integration of tech. into the class is like how far down the rabbit hole we go into wonderland.
Now i'm sure sometimes i am the mad hatter and sometime the "queen"/ king of hearts, but the end result is what happens to student connection with subject that really matters.
So to see what i have/have seen done lets begin because "i'm late i'm late"......

Substitution:  This is the most basic, in my class room i have a Promethean board (smart board idea except a different company)  So the sub was instead of writing on the board with an ink marker i write on a electronic board that does exactly the same job.

Augment:  same example as above except if i fill a page and move on i would have had to erase and it would be gone, now if a student missed something (out of room late for class whatever) i can click back the pages of the program and they can copy it down and i dont have to write it out again.

Modification:  Now when i have experiments that i want to do and dont have the supplies or if there is a concept that is not easily explained with spoken words i have pulled simulations from online sources and had the students use the board to "have hands on" without having to dissect a frog or be able to create electrical fields.

Redefinition  The power of Wikis has so much potential that its one of the next projects that i plans to expand into.  When you have a project that is too big for one but how many times when you do a group project you suspect that student A does most of the work but B and C just ride the coat tales and expect the same high gradew, with Wiki you can see the contributions to the group project and ability to modify it as things change and the final bonus is the removal of the excuse of "oh i couldn't go to his house to work on it so we cant turn it in now"   if they have internet connection they can collaborate.
