The goal of this week is to finish the lesson plan and finalize our lesson plans to get ready to submit to Taskstream. Soon we will be teaching these to the class and that will be my first time teaching a real lesson plan! I am very nervous and excited. I watched the blackboard video on SAMR. This means substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition. This is really important for the NCTCS because technology is becoming more and more integrated into every day teaching and lesson plans. It is evolving rapidly and teachers must learn how to use it in informative and advanced ways. I believe that when technology is integrated into classrooms into the right way, it will challenge kids and make the learning experience better.
I researched this model more extensively by watching some online videos and researching more on the model. By doing this I helped connect with it myself more and figure out how it will help me in my future classroom.

Dr. Ruben Puentedura developed the SAMR model as a way for teachers to
evaluate how they are incorporating technology into their instructional
practice. You can use SAMR to reflect upon how you are integrating
technology into your classroom. Is it an act of Substitution?
Augmentation? Modification? Or Redefinition?
While SAMR is very difficult to grasp, I do see the importance and certainly plan to consider it when making lesson plans in the future.
