SAMR is a hierarchy of learning/thinking with technology. I like the TECH model better because technology isn't an end in itself but a tool to help students not only learn but create new knowledge.

SAMR is a model that helps teachers and technology users/designers to better understand the ways theat technology can interact with learning tasks. It is fluid and provides an opportunity for users to inteact at the level most appropriate for their goals. SAMR is not a rigid system or a mandate for technological expectations.

SAMR is a classification system that can help us think about how we use ed tech in our classrooms; thinking through these levels can help push us to new ideas or help us realize when less is more. However, I think it is not so productive to worry too much about whether a particular activity falls under A or M, for example, because the lines are not solid. After all, all of these categories are examples or modification (change). Also, the examples of redefinition that we've seen all have to do with tearing down the walls of the classroom and creating contact with the world. Are there other ways to redefine?

Bloom's and SAMR:
​My thoughts based on the work of R. Puentedura, A. Churches and L. Nelson

I feel teachers need to both create tasks that target the higher-order cognitive skills (Bloom's) as well as design tasks that have a significant impact on student outcomes (SAMR). A visual to illustrate that follows.

Educators will argue they have seen redefinition tasks that only target the remembering level or have a creative assessment that is only at the augmentation level. Of course that is true, but I believe we should be planning for technology tasks, activities, and assessments that include both the higher levels of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy and the transformation area of the SAMR model.

My vision of how the Bloom's and SAMR models work together and intersect follows below.
