Exploring integrating SAMR into the classroom? Here are three resources I have found to be most helpful, accessible, and critical of the process:
A full break-down of SAMR in the classroom, with suggestions and ideas for implementation: https://www.edutopia.org/article/powerful-model-understanding-good-tech-integration
A critical look with some excellent questions to ask yourself: https://www.edsurge.com/news/2018-10-18-what-the-samr-model-may-be-missing

Hi Katrina,
I really like what you have done with your poster for Technology Tools! The highlighted sections add emphasis to the words that you really wanted to focus on; especially the question number 5 as it seems to remind teachers that they should also be comfortable with the tech before they introduce it to their students. You won’t be able to help your students if you don’t know how to use the tech tool. The font that you have selected flows well with the layout of your poster, as this is intended for teachers the colour should be fine, however, just be cautious that the colour for the questions might be a bit difficult to read as it blends in just a little bit. Overall, this is poster I can envision being in my classroom. – Navneet
Hi Navneet, thank you for this feedback. Is it the colouring for all questions against the background that is difficult to read, or is it the highlighted sections that create a more difficult contrast? I would love to know so that I can adjust the tone for better readability. You are welcome to use this image for yourself as well!
Hi Katrina,
I really enjoyed this post. You used engaging font and colours that did not distract the reader from the integrity of the assignment. Your questions are balanced and address concerns for students and for your practice. I love the way you highlighted key parts of the questions to draw the readers’ eye! Great work!
