SAMR allows the coach to show teachers a developmental approach to the use of technology in the classroom.

Depending on the technological knowledge of the teacher activities in the classroom can be carefully scaffoled to a level where student learning can be improved without the danger of complete failure through technical problems.

At the same time, teacher who already apply technologies successful in their teaching gain a view on what is possible beyond their actual comfort zone.

TPACK can help the coach and the teacher do recognize areas of strength and opportunities for growth (not only in regard to technology).

Considering TPACK makes sure, teachers don't engage in useless applications of technology but can rather concentrate on their use where a real gain can be achieved.

It can clarify the reasons WHY a certain type of technology is used in class

When I prepare a lesson, SAMR helps me to widen my horizon as far as the implementation of technology is concerned:

SUBSTITUTION: Does it make sense to use a new technology? Does it simplify a step in the learning process?

AUGMENTATION: Does the use of technology allow for additional functionality? Can students perform a task (of learning or understanding) in a more efficient or enriched way?

MODIFICATION: Does the technology allow for different forms of learning, process or product? What do my students or I gain when we make use of those options?

REDEFINITION: Can the use of technology allow for a fundamentally different way of learning either because a task can be done in a much shorter time-span or in a completely new way

When I prepare a lesson, TPACK helps me in the following way:

1) WHAT is the goal of the lesson? What CONTENT do I have to cover in order to achieve that goal?

2) HOW do I best teach my students? Which PEDAGOGY helps them best to learn?

3) Can TECHNOLOGY help me to better achieve those goals?

SAMR helps teachers to understand how technology can enrich their teaching and the learning of their students by adjusting learning scenarios to the additional functionality technology provides.

TPACK helps teachers understand that they shouldn't use technology only to please their principle. Rather the use of technology is a result of an informed decision.

Technology is used to deliver content or to process it in a better way.

The SAMR model (substitution, augmentation, modification and redefinition) helps teacher to evaluate how deeply their use of technology is integrated in their teaching and how transformative their use of technology is for student learning.

TPACK stands for technology, pedagogy and content knowdlege. The framework can be used by teachers do plan for and reflect on their use of technology in their classrooms.

TPACK, or Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge, is a model that helps teachers consider how their knowledge domains intersect in order to effectively teach and engage students with technology. Learn more about TPACK and how you can combine your knowledge of content, pedagogy, and technology for innovative teaching and learning.
