In our mission to deliver outstanding services and training in Further Education, we recognise technology’s transformative power. Embracing the SAMR model by Dr. Ruben Puentedura unlocks digital technology’s full potential, revolutionising education and empowering learners.
The SAMR model guides educators through four stages of technology integration: Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition. Each stage represents progress towards innovative pedagogical practices. Let’s explore how SAMR can reshape teaching and learning using an example from the Digital Teaching Professional Framework (DTPF).
As we implement the SAMR model, it is essential to consider certain factors. Safeguarding learners’ privacy is paramount, particularly when sharing personal information online. Furthermore, we can further enhance the CV experience by utilising e-portfolios, such as PebblePad, to create comprehensive digital portfolios. Additionally, fostering a collaborative environment, we encourage learners to share their CVs with peers for constructive feedback, leveraging the collective wisdom of the group.
By aligning SAMR to the DTPF, we redefine pedagogical approaches, empowering learners to develop essential employability skills. Let’s reshape education and inspire learners to achieve new heights with digital!
