Using the SAMR model was interesting. I found it easier to think about using technology in two different ways. In one way I used technology in a way to present topics and instruction from what I would already present. I did not add anything new in terms of content or leaning for the first two steps (Substitution and augmentation). I was able to present questions for performance review as well as receive student's answers by using Canvas. This was something the students are accustomed to since everyone in the school uses Canvas. For the next two steps, I was able to create something new and additional. The options were to build more than just a typed response. The students were given options to create a website through Word Press with their performance review or build even further, and provide a multimedia presentation through iMovie or PowerPoint or another chosen medium. This allowed students more creativity. They can share portions of the video, while providing commentary, and giving a review.
