Description
Summary:The school library profession has begun to develop a reputation for tech-savviness.SAMR, which stands for substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition, is a technology model developed by Ruben Puentedura. It is a basic grid that attempts to define different levels of technology tools and their use in the classroom. The SAMR model seems to have come out of Puentedura's experience but not his research. To the author, this lack is the most worrisome, especially when one compares this paucity to the hundreds of research articles published on the second model she addresses in this article, TPACK. TPACK, which stands for technological pedagogical content knowledge, is a conceptual framework famously defined by Punya Mishra and Matthew Koehler, both from Michigan State University. TPACK represents teachers' knowledge of how to integrate content knowledge with appropriate pedagogical approaches, including those that use emerging technologies, to enable learners to master the subject matter at hand.
