SAMR & TPACK MODELS / MIRO MIND MAP TOOL

SAMR & TPACK MODELS

    Hello, wonderful readers! Today's spotlight is on models that seamlessly blend technology into lessons. Join me as we explore two key frameworks in this post: SAMR and TPACK. Ready to dive in? Let's continue our tech-integration journey together! 💻📚 

What is TPACK?

    Tpack is a technology integrated model that identifies three types of knowledge instructors that is needed to combine for successful edtech integration—technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge.

    We can integrate technology into the content and pedagogy of our classrooms. The integration will help our students learn more effectively. We can choose technologies that will support the activity type and aid the students in learning. Different content concepts can be used for students who have different skill levels.

    ·These three types are;

1)Technological knowledge (TK): Teachers' knowledge and ability to use various technologies. Understanding edtech is important in TK.
 
2)Pedagogical Knowledge (PK): Teachers' knowledge of the practices, processes, and methods regarding teaching and learning. PK includes the purposes, values, and aims of education that should be considered in learning stages.

3)Content Knowledge (CK): Teachers' own knowledge of the subject matter. CK may include knowledge of concepts, theories, and evidence.  

What is SAMR?

    The "SAMR" model stand for Substitution, The "SAMR" model stand for Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition. The SAMR model was created to share a common language across disciplines and help students visualize complex concepts.

    ·“SAMR” means; 

1) Substitution: The technology is directly substituted for a more traditional teaching tool or method. 

2) Augmentation: The technology is directly substituted for a traditional tool or method, but with significant enhancement to the student experience. 
 
3) Modification: This stage is an actual change to the lesson's design and its learning outcome instead of replacement or enhancement. 
 
4) Redefinition: That stage represents how integrated classroom technology can transform to student’s experience.

WHAT IS MIRO? HOW CAN YOU USE IT?

    Miro is a tool that helps you to create your own mind maps. You can create various mind maps on any topic with miro. To access the tool, you should sign up with your e-mail, or can sign in with Google account. When you join, you will click "new board" or present templates, and now you can start! You can add sticky notes, shapes, drawings, texts or upload a file to your mind map.
