Wise Integration of Technology

The SAMR Model which originally created by Dr. Ruben Puentedura that divides technology integration in the classrooms. There are two large/macro steps and within each step, it has two micro-steps of technology integrations. It is more than a ladder and taking steps, it’s a range of elements that connect each other. 

Triple E Framework developed by Professor Liz Kolb in 2011 to evaluate how to choose tools to meet educators learning goals for their learners. This is proven to be a reliable and valid tool used in education with a clear instructional strategy. This framework focuses on learning goals that measure practical technology uses by students. It also focuses on learners’ practices on technology tools to have an effective learning opportunity.

To illustrate my own description of this topic, the framework and model do solidify my understanding of wise technology integration. I believe the framework and model work together, connecting each point and supporting one point with another. For example, the SAMR framework after substituting and making the technology used in the classroom better by modifying it to fit with a certain activity or lesson. I simply redefined the tech and, to avoid repetition, I can substitute it with another tech tool. I imagined it as a never-ending cycle since with technology, we educators need to stay up-to-date and it keeps the lessons more interesting for learners.
