SAMR model

 

Today, I learned about the SAMR model in ICT, which stands for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition. This framework helps educators understand how technology can be integrated into teaching practices. It made me realize that simply replacing traditional tools with technology (substitution) is just scratching the surface. By moving towards augmentation, modification, and redefinition, we can truly transform the learning experience for students. The SAMR model inspired me to think creatively about how I can leverage technology to enhance learning and encourage critical thinking in the classroom.

Since we are primary grade teachers, it is wise to use only Substitution and augmentation to teach students where as modification and redefinition is put into use when teaching high grade.

Below is the lesson plan I designed primary children with two levels of ICT using the SAMR model integration.

Lesson Plan

Subject: Science

Topic: Electricity and Magnetism

TLM: PhET simulation,video links, google docs, blooket quiz

Lesson Objectives: by the end of this lesson the students will be able to

  1. Define electricity and magnetism in their own words.

  2. List down various sources of electricity accurately.

  3. Conduct hands-on experiments to demonstrate the principles of electricity and magnetism, such as building simple circuits and exploring the effects of magnetic forces on different materials.


Lesson Introduction (5 mins); 

Ask students to go through the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXCeuSiTOug and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usD5uoy0kbA. These two links will give an idea on what is electricity and magnetism to students  furthering their knowledge. By going through the above two videos, students will know what to do while carrying out the activities coming after.


Lesson Development (35 mins)

Activity 1 (15mins)

In this activity, students will use PhET simulation to try different connections and in google docs they will fill out the worksheets in regards to the connections they made.


The students will make this type of connections using wires, batteries and bulb in order for the bulb to light up.



No. of the bulb connection

No of wire connection

No of battery cells used

Measure the voltage(V)

Measure the current(AM)


Remarks

For one bulb






For two bulbs






For three bulbs






For four bulbs







This is the worksheets students have to fill up.

Activity 2 (15 mins)

In this activity, the students will now test their knowledge on what they have learnt so far. It will be carried in the end in order to check students' understanding on electricity and magnetism. The activity will be in the form of a quiz where each student has to choose the correct answer from the multiple choice questions I have prepared.

TPACK model

  Integrating Tpack model in Primary lesson learning  We learned today how to use the TPACK model in lesson planning for primary school. It was really satisfying and thrilling. The integration of technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge the TPACK model has completely changed my approach to teaching and learning. I learnt how to  design engaging and relevant lessons for the  students when I integrate the TPACK model into my lesson planning.  I learnt that the  key advantages of using the TPACK model in today's classroom is its ability to enhance technology effectively to enhance student learning experiences. By combining technology with pedagogy and content knowledge, I  will know how to create interactive and dynamic lessons that promote active participation and deeper understanding among the  students. Moreover, the TPACK model has encouraged me to be more reflective and intentional in my lesson planning. In conclusion, integrating the TPACK m...

Middle level integration

Today we were oriented on using PhET simulation, being introduced to PhET simulation has been a game changer in approach to teaching and learning. PhET simulations are interactive, virtual tools that allow students to explore and experiment with various scientific concepts in a hands-on manner. These simulations provide an engaging and immersive learning experience that is not possible with traditional teaching methods alone. One of the major advantages of using PhET simulations is the ability to visualize and manipulate abstract concepts. For example, in physics, we tried constructing circuits using batteries, wires, and bulb. We  observed how the effects and positions of wires and batteries can alter the brightness of the bulb which help us develop a deeper understanding of the underlying principles. This visual representation makes complex topics more accessible and can spark curiosity and interest in students who may struggle with traditional textbook-based learning. Another ad...
