LMS and SAMR and collaboration
Monday, November 23, 2015 at 05:28AM A graphic of my original post looking at how our district might use its new LMS (Schoology) looks like this:
I was (rightfully) taken to task at a conference for this model since it seemed to only allow for information consumption, not productivity. So, I added:
But what about collaboration and communication? Isn't that an increasingly important part of the student learning experience that can be revolutionized by technology? So, I'm adding:
I know the SAMR model is not universally accepted (or understood) by all educators, but it make sense to me. It's not a pathway. It's not an evaluation tool. It is a way to organize one's thinking around educational technology use. If something else makes more sense to you, go nuts.
