An example of an SAMR Model in Mathematics

Lesson: Loci

Name of the participants: Jessica & Luke

Name of the assessment: Loci

• Substitution → Representing Loci on GeoGebra

• Augmentation → Students upload their own locus in the form of a photo or a video on a wikispace so other students can comment on each other’s work.

• Modification → Act out a locus (people maths) since loci can be dynamic, students can upload a video of themselves acting it out.

• Redefinition → Loci in real life

SAMR Model example

The following is an example of an SAMR Model that I could relate to in my classroom

Lesson: Geography & Travel

A modification of an idea found at https://edofict.wikispaces.com/SAMR+Examples.

Original Assignment: An overview of a location consisting of hand written content supplemented with compiled cut-and-pasted magazine clippings.

• Substitution: Use presentation software (like Powerpoint or Prezi) to construct a presentation providing information about a selected locale.
• Augmentation: Incorporate interactive multimedia – audio, video, hyperlinks – in the presentation to give more depth and provide more engaging presentation.
• Modification: Create a digital travel brochure that incorporates multimedia and student created video.

Redefinition: Explore the locale with Google Earth; seek out and include interviews with people who have visited the local.
