SAMR Representation by Natacha Duggins https://padlet.com/nwalt13/awkt3vibcrqb0lsf The perfect example of how technology has changed to improve the future. en-us 2021-07-26 16:16:09 UTC 2025-10-17 13:44:38 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f5d3.png The Progression of the Calendar nwalt13 https://padlet.com/nwalt13/awkt3vibcrqb0lsf/wish/1661232982 One question I make sure to ask students in our first science lesson is “What technology do you use daily?” Most say cell phones and televisions. They don’t think of the basics like pencils.  I wanted to connect SAMR to the calendar. Our lives literally revolve around it and most people don’t give it a second thought. It’s amazing how far we have come.

Humans used to tell time by plant growth and moon phases. Eventually, humans created the sundial and solar calendar. We made our way to the 365 daily calendar with a leap year every four years.   Now people can simply click a button to add an event to their calendar, on their phones. It even has an option to remind them the day before or minutes before the event.   This is a perfect example of how technology has changed to improve the future.
