Looking+at+Curriculum+through+the+SAMR+lens

==** The SAMR and TPCK models for analysing and planning curriculum ** == This session builds on the work of Dr. Ruben Puentedura in Maine during the 1990s, who identified "effective predictors" of the success of technology investments in schools. This basic concepts will be outlined very briefly before we begin and it is suggested that participants visit the session on Day one to get the most out of this workshop The hassle is that a lot of ICT takeup in the classroom is not using the technology to its true potential, often used as a simple replacement for existing procedures and processes. This sesion is designed so you can get a deep understanding of his theories and observations from the State of Maine laptop program (today) as they apply to your own curriculum units   Please bring some existing units at your school for this session. We will work in small teams and be reporting back to the group, using an online presence to facilitate this process. Martin Levins & June Wall

Bios Martin really likes technology because he likes playing, and believes that play is really important in learning (at least that’s his excuse)
