TPACK ACTIVITY TYPES

SAMR Wheel

Where Most of Us Start - Substitution

• Perfectly normal to start at the “Substitution” level of tech use

• Take existing activities and add a tech tool

• Examples– Turn paper worksheets into digital worksheets

– Reading text digitally via online textbook or Internet– Online flash cards, quizzes

Next level of growth - Augmentation

• Moving from tools that substitute for paper to ones that have some functional improvement.

• Examples– digital content is opened in app like Adobe Reader so

that student can mark up text; highlight; define words; take notes

– Students complete a short formative assessment using app like Google forms, Socrative or Nearpod. Teacher uses responses to create flexible groups.

Where we want to end up

• Focus on student-creation apps.

• Examples:– Use iMovie to retell story or create digital book report– Use app like iBooks Author or Book Creator to create

media rich ePub books– Use an online collaborative space (schoology group,

shared google doc, wiki) to write in small groups, conduct peer editing, and to comment on final products.

– Create a multimedia lesson, using app such as ShowMe, to explain the steps of solving a problem.
