Reflection-My instructional decisions changed as I described my lesson at each SAMR level by thinking through the process. I had to be reflective as instructor and had to stress how important technology was in implementing and advancing the lesson. The selections of different technologies changed as I described my lesson at each SAMR level helped create a more cohesive and complete lesson that insured creativity amongst the students. My role within the classroom changes at each level as primary instructor on information to coach and person who provides feedback. The student role in learning change from passive listener to producer of a personal narrative.
My decisions in the process have been an example of teacher creativity by working through a well thought out process that enables the instructor to incorporate pedagogy, content and technology to enhance student learning. The lesson is Novel, Effective, & Whole because it relies on student creativity, knowledge gained throughout the lesson, and the students' ability to grow personally and academically for a socially just cause. My decisions in the process has been an example of a teacher as a designer because I have included my own educational background (pedagogy), my desire to create learners who are independent, and ability to work forward using technology to connect students to meaningful and structured lesson activities.
