"I want to mention one thing that I share with my 8th grade students every year. If you pick up a handful of sand and drop it you find a splatter of sand on the floor. Individual grains everywhere with no connection. Most of the time, our students learning is like these grains of sand...history over here, science over there, etc. Contrast that with a sand castle sculpted by an artist...the same grains of sand but masterfully connected creating a beautiful castle. Learning with connections creates bonds that can last a lifetime. In order to get my students to that point, I must have my students think deeply and at the higher levels of learning. This is made possible by examining primary sources and sources sets and involving all types of learning and learning styles.

One of the many ways of accomplishing this type of learning is teaching our students to think like historians. As Sam Wineburg states: we teach students to think like historians using a variety of strategies. These strategies include: sourcing, contextualizing, close reading, using background knowledge, reading the silences, and corroborating. Rather than just give students information and expect them to regurgitate it on a test, students can take a topic, examine primary sources, learn to question the who, what, why, and where, and utilize the above listed strategies for thinking like a historian. As a teacher we should guide, question, and help the students make connections to other subjects. Combine all of these techniques and results should yield students who are deeper thinkers and students who are independent thinkers...this type of individual is who functions best in society."

Last year, a colleague shared the SAMR model with me. I'm not sure if anyone else has heard of it, but it is sort of like Bloom's, but for technology. It is helpful for me in reflecting on my lessons in examining how I asked students to use technology. SAMR stands for Substitute, Augment, Modification, and Redefine. You can Substitute a task and use technology instead, but both are similar (like reading a PDF instead of printout).You can Augment a task by making a slight improvement (like having students being able to zoom in and turn a 3-D model of an artifact). You can Modify by redesigning with tech and you can Redefine by doing new tasks entirely (which would include making podcasts, wikis, etc.).

I think it is a helpful model for designing ways to integrate technology into primary source lessons so it is more than just a decorative flair, but it is a thoughtful and change.
