The SAMR model was developed by Dr. Ruben Puentedura, which aims to
guide teachers in integrating technology into their classrooms. SAMR consists
of 4 steps: Substitution, S, Augmentation, A, Modification, M, Redefinition, R
(Puentedura, 2015). Teaching is generally a step-by-step process of
extending from one or some knowledge content to other content. The same is
valid for mind maps, diverging and expanding the content around the main
keyword. Teachers can use SAMR method to systematically summarize the
knowledge points that need to be explained when preparing lessons. At the
same time, they can also check whether there is any missing content, or
whether there is a better way to explain logically, etc. Furthermore, a good
picture often have much effect on students’ interest in learning. I remember
that when I was in class, the SAMR model was often used when I needed to
memorize complicated principles. I remember when I was studying the human
resource management class, the teacher showed us a Youtube video
explaining recruitment theory using the SAMR method in order to help us
understand. I believe that this method will be particularly effective in
explaining liberal arts and theoretical classes in the future. Finally, I personally
think that the style of pictures is also very important. Those beautiful and
concise drawings are more helpful to attract students.

Hi Yiyang, thank you for your post on analyzing the idea of the SAMR model. You did a good job introducing what the SAMR model is and who invented it. I agree with your idea that teaching is generally a gradual process from one to one or some knowledge content to other content, and teachers can use The SAMR model to systematically summarize the knowledge points that need to be explained when preparing lessons. However, Could you please add some multimedia elements to your blog post, in that way, I think your content will be easier to learn! Thank you.
Hi Yiyang:
Thank you for the post. After reading you post, I have a new thinking about SAMR model, which is SAMR model also can be applied in teaching, also can be applied in learning. Now, I am wondering is you can share your experience about how you memorize those complicated theories by SAMR model?
