SMAR Model lays emphasis on four main Constraints of Online teaching and learning.
Substitution:
Substituting  the conventional method by state of the art technology. Instead of massive use of papers, it is recommended to use Word Documents.
Augmenation:
It talks about functional improvement for example, instead of using note books, it is better to use ONE note or apps like that , making the life more easier and handy, making it accessible where ever required.

Modification:
Bringing a creative design to students learning  outcomes for example taking feeedback on Padlet, Nearpod etc.
Redefinition:
Apart from  only designing the learning outcomes, Sharing of thoughts and having a collaborative discussion with teacher making learning more affective.

Incorporating Technology into the Classroom Using the S.A.M.R Model

# data[].attributes.body
This article discuss about how technology can be used more effectively in a class room as only use of technology is not enough, but making it fruitful is more important.

There are different levels of technology integration known as S.A.M.R which helps teachers to classify the degree of technology integration.

Substitution
It is the first step which is just shifting to digital medium from conventional teaching method of notebooks and pens. Here typical comes in substitution of typical note books.

Augmentation
Augmentation means to increase what was done in substitution phase in which students can now make notes on digital applications such as MS One Note Book.

Modification
In this step teachers can change their design of lesson. Like allowing students to give their responses on Padlet or any similar application. In this way students will interact with each other and will self-assess themselves.

Redefinition
In this phase teacher redefines the way of learning .For example making a collaborative learning environment just like conducting lessons on Collaborative white boards was never thought before.

With integrated technology, Classrooms that immerse students in technology are more likely to produce learners who are more competent.

Integrated technology enhances learning by facilitating discussion and group work.

The SAMR model provides a technique for moving through degrees of technology adoption to find more meaningful uses of technology in teaching and move away from simply using “tech for tech’s sake”.

Incorporate technology in the classroom

Technology is all around us and many teachers are integrating various technology tools into their teaching.  Though a new app, website, or computer software may appear (through marketing or other means) to be the “new best thing” you may want to decide this for yourself before using it with your students.  A great way to assess this is through the SAMR model

It shows a progression that adopters of educational technology often follow as they progress through teaching and learning with technology.  It is a framework through which teachers can assess and evaluate the technology used in the classroom. As teachers move along the continuum, computer technology becomes more important in the classroom but at the same time becomes more invisibly woven into the demands of good teaching and learning.

We can use technology in the classroom to enhance learning, some examples include:

Gamified learning

Digital field trips

Integrate social media

Gather student feedback

Creating digital content

Using a shared, online classroom calendar

Review and critique webpages

Incorporate video and multimedia into lessons and presentations

Online activities for students who finish work early

·         Benefits of Technology in the Classroom

Increased student engagement

Encouraging teamwork and collaboration

Preparing students for life after graduation

Connecting students and teachers

Improved teaching outcomes

Supporting differentiated instruction

Incorporating Technology into the Classroom

Technology can truly transform the learning experience for both students and teachers when used purposefully.

· When the students using their devices their work should appear purposeful and it must enrich their learning experience.

· Students must use technology to collaborate with others to create a real-world product that can be shared about what they learned.

· A 4-tier framework called the SAMR Model helps educators classify the varying degrees of technology integration. In this framework, the letters “SAMR” stand for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition.

· A teacher’s focus should always be on using instructional technology to enhance learning.

· The integration should be intentional and purposeful, where learning is enhanced and deepened through the use of technology.

The SAMR model lays out four tiers of online learning, presented roughly in order of their sophistication and transformative power: substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition. The SAMR model can help educators think about the role of technology in supporting learning.

Substitution

The first level or step to the model is substitution. There simply is no functional change but substitutes technology for a more traditional method of the lesson. For example, replacing taking notes with pen and paper and using a word processing device. Doable and straightforward, right? Most people are already substituting for this task. Another example would be providing access to information from a hardcopy textbook as a PDF.

Substitution is probably the easiest way to start to add technology to your class.

Augmentation

The second level is augmentation. Technology is still substituting, but there is a functional improvement to the student experience. An example, going back to note-taking, would be utilizing a note-taking app or software, such as Evernote or OneNote, to take, tag, organize notes for a given class.

Many students already utilize apps such as these to take their notes.

Modification

Modification is moving into the design change of the lesson and the learning outcomes for the students. Technology is helping to push students forward and deepen their learning with technology tools. Continuing with the note-taking example, students may use Padlet to organize thoughts and ideas with their classmates. As a facilitator, you can provide the medium to allow the students to share with each other. You then can moderate student responses and find where students have misconceptions then take steps to help clear up those misunderstandings and point students in the direction of success.

Redefinition

Changing the design of the lesson and learning outcomes that would not otherwise allow for the task to be completed without technology. Finishing up with the note-taking example, students could use Evernote, OneNote, or GoogleDocs to take notes, share their notebooks, and collaborate in real-time with other students on a topic. Without the technology of Evernote, students wouldn’t be able to share their notes in real-time. Better yet, as the instructor, you can share your notes with the students and let them collaborate to make your lessons better. As an educator promoting note sharing or creating a collaborative classroom community.

Technology provides students with easy-to-access information, accelerated learning, and fun opportunities to practice what they learn. The effective use of digital learning tools in classrooms can increase student engagement, help teachers improve their lesson plans, and facilitate personalized learning. It also helps students build essential 21st-century skills. Technology is a tool used in education and not an end in itself. The promise of educational technology lies in what educators do with it and how it is used to best support their students’ needs. The SAMR Model is a framework created by Dr. Ruben Puentedura that categorizes four different degrees of classroom technology integration. The letters “SAMR” stand for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition

Substitution:  Technology acts as a direct substitute with no functional change

Augmentation: Technology acts as a direct substitute with functional improvement

Modification: Technology allows for significant task redesign

Redefinition: Technology allows for the creation of new tasks

Technology in classroom is a necessity of the time  however excess use of it may not fulfill the purpose. SMAR model helps the teachers to classify the degrees of technology integration.

1. Teachers may substitute the traditional method of teaching with integration of technology,
2. They may just add technology to enhance learning.
3. Use technology to modify the learning experience.
4. Use technology to Redefine teaching experience to achieve something which was not possible earlier

*There are immeasurable benefits, however it should be kept in mind that over use of these apps may confuse a child.
*SAMR” stand for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition.
*Technology must be used with an aim in mind rather than using it for the sake of using.
*Use of technology must focus on a transformation in students learning.
*It must be used as a ladder to achieve the skill that is required for a learner.

*Using Technology in the Classroom*
First and foremost, a teacher should be aware of the differences between two classrooms, one with technology and the other without. Later, by doing so, you can compare the two classes.
There will undoubtedly be a significant distinction.
Using technology in your lecture will make it more participatory, but there are some drawbacks, such as the possibility that some kids would misuse it, so teachers and parents should keep a close eye on it.

There are various levels to choose from, including:

Substitution

Augmentation

Modification

Redefination

SAMR is the acronym for "Single-Action Multi-Response.

For instance, if a student is learning to read, the teacher may begin to provide an ebook.
Let's speak about middle school for a moment

Instead of borrowing a book from the library, pupils can use the internet to conduct research for their project.

Making a PowerPoint deck to demonstrate understanding.

It's possible that it's count augmentation.

The entire class progresses to the next level of alteration by incorporating technology and presenting what they've learnt via screencast video.

The entire learning experience has been transformed into something that would not be conceivable without the use of technology.

High school teachers can also use it by using pre-recorded classes and substituting accordingly.

Students can now create a slide deck incorporating all of the content from the pre-recorded lessons, which will serve as an augmentation.

There are numerous methods in which this can be accomplished.

*Incorporating Technology into classroom*
First of all a teacher should know the difference of two classroom one with technology and other without. Later on by experiencing it to check the difference in these two classes.
Definitely there will be a contrasting difference.
Integrating technology in your lesson will make it more interactive though there will be some negative aspects as some students might miss-use it so teacher along with parents should have strick check on it.

There are different levels such as:
1. Substitution
2.Augmentation
3. Modification
4.Redefination
It's known as SAMR

For example a reading the teacher start giving ebook.
A science teacher may give research paper to read.

Let's talk about middle school
Instead of taking book from library they may search it from internet for their project work.  Creating slide deck to demonstrate knowledge .it can be count augmentation.

The whole class moves to modification level by integrating technology as they present what the learned by screencast video.

The entire learning experience redefined into something which is not possible without technology.

High school teacher can also use it by using pre recorded lessons by this they can follow substitution.
Now the students can create slide deck by using all the information provided in pre recorded lessons and that will become augmentation.

There are so many ways in which a teacher can integrate technology by implement SMAR and make it interactive.
