- Incorporating and using technologies in the classroom should always be intentional. The goal is for technology to augment learning when possible <\/li>\n
- Technology cannot replace a teacher\u2019s pedagogy <\/li>\n
- The TIM and CoI models emphasize experience and collaboration in technology learning. I was more drawn to these models because those are things I value. <\/li>\n
- I wonder how the Focused Ed resources fall into these models? Does how you use the resources impact how well they fit into these models? <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Model Overview<\/h2>\n
\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/edci336av.opened.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10012\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-27-at-3.28.13%E2%80%AFPM-1024x528.png\")
<\/figure>\n\nThe SAMR Model <\/h5>\n
SAMR<\/a> stands for substitution, augmentation, modification and redefinition, and represents four levels of technology integration that move from simple enhancement of learning to transformation of learning. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/figure>\n\nThe TPACK Model <\/h5>\n
The Technology, Pedagogy and Content Knowledge model <\/a>emphasizes 7 different teaching knowledges through the intersection of a teacher\u2019s knowledge of the content, the ways that knowledge is taught (pedagogy) and the tools used while teaching (technology). Importantly, the model emphasizes context, taking into consideration equity, social influences and other impacting factors. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/figure>\n\nTIM Model<\/h5>\n
The technology integration matrix<\/a> is more complex, with 5 characteristics of meaningful learning environments intersecting with 5 levels of technology integration. I like this model as its purpose is to specifically help educators use technology to enhance learning. Creating meaningful learning environments for our students should always be the goal. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/figure>\n\nCoI Framework <\/h5>\n
The Community of Inquiry<\/a> framework outlines three intersecting areas that contribute to meaningful learning: social presence, teaching presence and cognitive presence. While discussing this model with my peers, we almost forgot it was for technology because it felt so applicable to learning in general. I particularly liked the social presence element and its intersection with the teaching presence, setting climate. I\u2019ve always thought of teachers as the \u201cweather makers\u201d in the classroom, and this piece really encapsulates that. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
POD Check-Ins<\/h2>\n
We also discussed in class the progress our groups have made for our POD inquiries. It was really neat to hear the topics that were chosen, and the format that their final projects will take. I\u2019m excited to see what everyone comes up with in the end. It sounds like there will be some valuable resources that we can use as new teachers! <\/p>\n
I love the inquiry format of these assignments. The range of topics chosen from the class highlights how many different interest areas there are in the group. Some groups are making websites, podcasts or resource packets. The inquiry format allows for freedom in topic choice but also in how we express our learning, which I think is really cool! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
This week we discussed integration models that are used to help teachers use educational technologies in their practice effectively and meaningfully. When I first read about these models before class, I assumed they were for designing an online classes.
