It needs to be teacher lead and invested. We have had days where we pick a strategy and invite others to observe. Tap into leaders that lead from the classroom not the office.

What does the redefinition level of the SAMR model look like in a math classroom? What about science or social studies? 🧑‍💻

Discover practical tips for meaningful technology integration—with examples for all of these subjects: edut.to/4cXHkLh

#SAMR #MathSky #ITeachScience #SocialStudies #EduSky

A colorful diagram compares levels of student engagement with technology integration, using the 4 C’s model and the SAMR model. On the left, four orange boxes list the 4 C’s of Technology Integration: Creation, Connection, Curation, and Consumption, arranged from most to least engaging. In the center, two green circles indicate “Most Engaging” (top) and “Least Engaging” (bottom), connected by a dashed arrow. On the right, the SAMR Model is shown in pink boxes: Redefinition and Modification (under the “Transformation” category) and Augmentation and Substitution (under “Enhancement”). The diagram visually links higher engagement with activities involving Creation and Redefinition.

Are you wired for innovation, precision, or rapid-fire thinking — or maybe all three?

Inspired by Katy Higgins Lee, MFT’s original Autism–ADHD–Giftedness overlap diagram, I transformed it into a practical growth tool anyone can use — not for diagnosis, but for self-understanding and development.
