SAMR Model

          TPCK is the combination of teaching knowledge, content area knowledge, and technology knowledge and how you can integrate all of them into the classroom.  All of the different types of knowledge will interact and come together to form a coherent and educational environment for learning.
          SAMR is a tool to use to help you determine what types of technology should be integrated into the classroom and when it is appropriate for these technologies to be integrated.  It is broken down into four levels: substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition.  These levels are then divided into two different levels: substitution and augmentation are in the enhancement level, and modification and redefinition are in the transformation level.
          My five examples of technology are websites such as Khan Academy, glogster or movie editing software, online databases such as Maine Memory Network, WallWisher or other appropriate social posting sites, and websites such as YouTube or Vimeo.  For substitution, I think that Khan Academy and YouTube/Vimeo would be the best options.  Khan Academy presents informational videos that discuss topics that have already been covered in class, but using pictures and drawings.  This is placed under substitution because it simply offers information that could be gathered from an average class lesson, just worded differently.  YouTube and Vimeo both have the capacity to do this.
          For augmentation, I think that Maine Memory Network and YouTube/Vimeo fit under this heading.  Maine Memory Network provides plenty of information, as well as supplemental videos and pictures, links to related websites and topics, as well as access to other information under the same or similar topics.  YouTube/Vimeo also could have the potential for this, if there was a good informational channel/trustworthy source.
          For modification, I think that WallWisher or class discussion boards could help with this.  Students could take the information they already have and apply it to discussion and opinion with others.  If it is a private page, the teacher could get in touch with other scholars on the topic and invite them to join in the conversation and discussion.
          For redefinition, I think that Glogster or movie editing software could apply.  This would allow students to use all previous knowledge to create videos or digital posters relating to their previous notes and gathered knowledge to create a creative and interesting project that covers all aspects of previous knowledge.
