At this step of our lesson we can create a new project. We can take our two minute forecasts for five days to a whole another level. We can share our results will other classrooms and have them report back to us. We can then compare the weather. We went from reading a book to a multiple classroom project using technology.

As a class, for a week we will recognize the weather outside Monday through Friday. Each day we will record a two minute weather forecast. We will set up a faux studio and role-play as weather reporters. In this video we will take turns describing the weather, provide the temperature, and warn about weather hazards such as icy roads, windy, pouring rain, etc. This will be far more interesting than filling out a weather chart. The students will meet their objectives by being being able to recognize the weather outside, talk about weather, and more valuable skills.

To support the video we will use the app Kahoot.I will create a trivia game with questions based on the video. They will go hand in hand with the help of technology. Each student will use either the schools tablets or computers. I will be able to access each student in a fun way that supports the initial video.

To make learning about weather/meteorology forecasting more exciting we will substitute reading a paper book version of What's the Weather Today? By Alan Fowler to reading an electronic version on the schools tablets or computers.

Lesson Plan : Let's Forecast the Weather

The lesson plan is geared towards grades 1-2. The topic is about weather and meteorology, therefore it is a great science lesson. It will teach students what goes into predicting the weather. They will learn how weather affects people. The learning objectives are recognizing different weather and learning how to speak about the weather forecast. First, they will read What's the Weather Today? By Alan Fowler. Secondly, they will watch Weather Watch to learn about weather, weather forecasting, and learn why people want to know the weather. Thirdly, discuss weather and television. Then, practice writing sentences that would be said in a weather forecast. Lastly, set up a weather forecasting studio so that the students can role-play. You can then play it on a classroom TV or projector.

As an educator the SAMR model brings so much value and usefulness into the classroom. Students of the 21st century are familiarized with technology at very young ages and it's come to a point that they are better in technology than us teachers. Students are always reaching for new technology and quite frankly will be the ones to create even greater technology in the future. I believe they should be motivated and immersed in technology in schools, because technology is already a big part of their lives. We need to teach them how to use everyday technology in relation to their everyday school subjects. We can do this fairly easily with the use of the SAMR model. I can transform any lesson to a far more exciting lesson by simply substituting with technology in a lesson. Or with some more thought and interest in a topic, I can redifine the whole lesson to something far more greater and intriguing. As a child, I was far more interested in doing a research project on the computer with a wide data base, rather than being limited to the newspapers, articles, and books my teacher provided. I catch myself being bored in classes with no technology or media involved, and I've also witnessed this in classes I observed. Technology friendly classes reap a higher reward for the teacher and students, especially in the 21st century.

Definition: Allows for the creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable.

My definition:
The technology used has created a passage way to other forms of expression of the orignial concept.
It reaches a higher goal than initialized.

Example:
We started off with a book and now we could share our discoveries, creations, thoughts, and opinions with others on other web forums.

Definition:
Modification is a significant task redesign.

My definition:
The original task is now not only being replaced with technology, and improved, but it is now being reconstructed and modified.  It may lead to usage of other technologies.

Example:
Continuing furthur with our example, we can create our own reviews, diagrams, etc, with the help of other technology.

Definition:
Augmentation is a direct tool substitute with functional improvement.

My definition:
This is using technology to replace an old fashioned way of presenting information and also some other minor changes or add ons to improve or match up with the technology being used.

Example:
Not only is the book an electronic version but there are also links to other pages related to the book.

Definition: Subsitution is a direct tool substitute with no functional change.

My definition: This means that technology is replacing an old fashioned way of presenting information.

Example:
This is as simple as reading an electronic book rather than a paper version.

The model is broken up into two parts which are enhancement and transformation. Enhancement is split into two categories, which are substitution  and augmentation. Transformation  also has two categories, redefinition and modification. The four categories are the acrynoms for SAMR.
S-SUBSTITUTION
A-AUGMENTATION
M-MODIFICATION
R-REDEFINITION

The goal was to help educators transform learning experiences for higher levels of achievement. It was designed to help teachers better utilize technology and integrate it into teaching and learning.
