Below is a great video explaining the SAMR model in 120 seconds. I am not sure how much acquainted you are with this model but I have already featured several interesting resources on SAMR here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning. In a nutshel, think about SAMR model as a blueprint scaffolding your technology integration into education.
Multiple posts and resources explaining the SAMR model
ISTE Standards (formerly the NETS) for Teachers (ISTE Standards*T) are the standards for evaluating the skills and knowledge educators need to teach, work and learn in an increasingly connected global and digital society.
ISTE Standards (formerly the NETS) for Students (ISTE Standards*S) are the standards for evaluating the skills and knowledge students need to learn effectively and live productively in an increasingly global and digital world.
ISTE Standards (formerly the NETS) for Administrators (ISTE Standards*A) are the standards for evaluating the skills and knowledge school administrators and leaders need to support digital age learning, implement technology and transform the education landscape.
ISTE Standards (formerly the NETS) for Coaches (ISTE Standards*C) are the standards for evaluating the skills and knowledge that education coaches need to guide and support teachers in an increasingly connected and global society.
For as long as I can remember I have been an advocate for helping teachers understand the stages of technology integration to help them effectively use tech as a tool for learning.
This is a quick introduction to the SAMR Model, developed by Dr. Ruben Puentedura. It is not meant to be an in-depth view of the model. For more information, visit http://hippasus.com/.
