SAMR Video Guide
When we decide to use technology for teaching or to support student learning, we need to determine how best to incorporate it into the design of the learning experience. We ask ourselves: Are we seeking to enhance the experience with opportunities for active learning? Are we seeking to redesign the experience entirely? Which technology should we use to achieve our goals and assist students in achieving learning objectives?
Julie Youm PhD, Instructional Technologies Group, University of California, Irvine, School of Medicine, has created a SAMR video guide that describes the SAMR model and how we can use it to evaluate how we use technology for teaching. SAMR video guide
