The SAMR Ladder Through the Lens of 21st Century Skills

I am teaching a course this summer - 21st Century Teaching: Technology Integration Across the Curriculum, we are exploring the SAMR Model. SAMR is a truly useful tool for helping teachers identify their current comfort zone in order to build expertise in designing efficient and effective student learning experiences. To reach higher levels on the SAMR ladder, teachers can make instructional shifts through the planning and redesigning of their lessons.A look at the big picture is helpful when trying to understand how to help students develop important 21st Century Skills at each level.

I found this great interactive graphic of the SAMR Ladder that illustrate the big picture. The image includes a sample of a vocabulary centered wiki project at each level of SAMR. The Ladder includes questions designed by Dr. Ruben R. Puentedura, Ph.D. for reflection about making the transition to the next level. The circle at each level targets research, writing and digital citizenship. There you will find a quick suggestion about ways to capture and embrace the natural progression of skills at each level. 

Please explore this interactive graphic.
