My reflections of how to demonstrate
knowledge by using the SAMR model within my teaching context is as follows:
Substitution
In the old days of doing patient
education, we used the old fashion paper mode of delivering educational content
and within the classroom environment and by using the blackboard. Then in
the late 1990's to early 2000, as I teacher I began to substitute my mode of
teaching into PowerPoint presentations which I still use today.
I agree with what Dominique said on the voice
thread that video conferencing is another way you can substitute face to face
teaching. Interesting to note, this is used today within large organisations
that are geographically spread out to provide professional development to their
staff.
Augmentation
One of the ways I have augmented my PowerPoint presentations in
the past was using spell check, inserting pictures or graphs. So far I haven’t explored how to insert a
video clip into a PowerPoint presentation.
However, I do agree with Elena that you can enhance your presentations
by adding voice thread, links to videos or u-tube clips.
Modification
You can modify the function of the classroom as highlighted by
Wes, by using collaboration style learning.
This can be achieved by using blogs, Wikipedia, digital photo achieve,
e-book creation. The teacher can provide
feedback to the students by using the above modes of technology.
Redefinition
As a teacher you can totally redefine your classroom by conducting
on-line debates, using other forms of Web 2.0 technology of blog, Skype, film
and add a voice threat, podcast. By
using social media you can encourage social networking by collaboration of
specific task or include the use of 3-D virtual worlds for nursing teaching. The opportunities are endless.
It is interesting to consider other student’s
viewpoints in aide your own learning.
There are a lot of benefits from learning from collaboration.
This is the most simplest analysis of SAMR I have come across, we are having first hand analysis of collaborative learning by sharing in our blogs and scoop.it and also blackboard collaborate sessions even though I only managed to attend a few, the ideas we are sharing regardless of location are very broad. This aides us in becoming better students and in turn apply this to our students so as to achieve better outcomes.
