EDLD 5318 Assignment 1

Introduction​: Welcome to SAMR Model 101. In this course, students will be introduced to the
SAMR Model. Students will be able to distinguish each level from the model to construct
technology activities. Students will learn how to design a technology activity for each level which
can be implemented in the elementary classroom.

Learning Goals​: Learners will apply the SAMR Model by designing activities that demonstrate
each level: substitution, augmentation, modification and redefinition.

Desired Results​: The learner will demonstrate understanding of the SAMR Model by designing
technology activities which will be implemented in their lesson plan.

Audience​: My audience will be elementary teachers from Pre-K through 5​th​ grade.
