SUBSTITUTION
Replacing a typically analogue task with a digital one.
AUGMENTATION
Increasing the functionality of a task and improving access and collaboration.
MODIFICATION
Using digital assets and tools to enhance a lesson, often through the infusion of

Teaching and learning change significantly.

• Grade 4 - Limericks
• Substitution - Pupils write a limerick using the Pages app on their iPads
• Grade 5 - Settlements
• Substitution - Pupils research various South African settlement types using Google on their iPads
• Grade 6 - Area
• Substitution - Pupils calculate the area of various objects on a printed worksheet using the Calculator app on their iPads
• Not every activity needs to be at the Redefinition level - you set the pace and know what is required to maximise the learning experience.
• Your role is to create the opportunity for learning and discovery.
• Sometimes a pencil and paper is all that is required.
