-While it is possible to create a successful and highly interactive student based learning
experience without technology, it is technology that can amplify the learning experience.
-The SMAR model = Substitution Augmentation Modification Redefinition
-All of the stages allow for technology interaction and increased student engagement.
-he first two steps involve technology as an enhancement tool and the last two involve
technology as a transformation tool.
-Many times the steps between enhancement and transformation can take a bit of time as
educators practice, reflect, and learn.
-Substitution - tech acts as a direct tool substitute, with no functional change
—> lowest level of technology integration
—> technology replaces an activity that may have been done before using an analog version
—> very first stage of enhancement of a lesson using technology - this might include word
processing a student authored story rather than hand writing it
—> the web is being used as a substitution for what may have been a prior resource list given to
students
—> According to Dr. Ruben R. Puentedura, the teacher is just using the technology to replace a
resource list that could be used in the library. Keep in mind that this can be still very useful.
-Augmentation–tech acts as a direct substitute tool, with functional improvement
—> one level up from substitution - still at the enhancement level
—> technology has improved the learning experience by adding functionality
—> In a word processing document students are taught to use different tools such as the word
count, thesaurus, and grammar checks.
—> Perhaps students are using calculators or spreadsheets to solve a problem. It could be that
students are researching, and the teacher directs students to current news events, blogs, or
interpretations of the research by various authors.
—> students compare and contrast viewpoints and view up to date information
—> While the line could be blurred between Substitution and Augmentation there really is a
deeper learning because of the technology. There should be a step up in both student engagement
and rigor.
-Modification –tech allows for significant task redesign
—> technology has the opportunity to change the look and feel of what students perform
—> brings in the student opportunity to proceed up Bloom’s taxonomy
—> This might include authoring a collaborative story in a Google Doc so that peer editing and
collaboration can happen anytime and anyplace.
—> Perhaps even some pictures are added to the story or report to further engage the intended
audience.
—> Students may use advanced searching skills to find articles on their own that contrast
viewpoints from different counties. A word cloud might be employed to study the meaning of an
article or author’s writing. While students use traditional literary critique, a word cloud might
provide a new analysis such as visual look at word frequency in a reading.
—> Students might use a Google Form to collect and analyze data. In this method of data
collection students may be able to survey larger and more diverse populations, while having a
layer of tools to represent the data to an audience.
—> Many times modification allows more student voice and the outcome may not be as
prescribed.

Document Summary
While it is possible to create a successful and highly interactive student based learning experience without technology, it is technology that can amplify the learning experience. The smar model = substitution augmentation modi cation rede nition. All of the stages allow for technology interaction and increased student engagement. He rst two steps involve technology as an enhancement tool and the last two involve technology as a transformation tool. Many times the steps between enhancement and transformation can take a bit of time as educators practice, re ect, and learn. Substitution - tech acts as a direct tool substitute, with no functional change. > technology replaces an activity that may have been done before using an analog version. > very rst stage of enhancement of a lesson using technology - this might include word processing a student authored story rather than hand writing it.
