ICT Frameworks

There are three frameworks we will look at in this week's blog post that can be used in a classroom, and one that I will most likely use in my future classroom. The three frameworks are, the SAMR model, the TIM model, and the Triple E framework model.
The SAMR Model (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition)
This model was created by Ruben Puentedura and was only made as early as 2010. The SAMR model has four tiers of online learning, all in order of the acronym SAMR, substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition. Substitution, means replacing traditional activities and materials, and substituting them with digital versions. This is completely handy because there are no chances for students or teachers to lose homework, since it is all online. Augmentation, is the incorporation of technology, where students can make digital portfolios, which can be used to create presentations. Modification, is where you can now redesign how things are done, and can make everything done online, such as, tracking grades, messaging students, making a calendar, and posting assignments. Lastly, Redefinition, is the enabling of activities that were previously impossible in the classroom, new assignments and ideas that could never been accomplished with the use of the internet. The SAMR Model is a great framework to implement in a classroom, because it creates an online presence, and is on par with how most learning is moving towards.
The TIM Model (Technology Integration Matrix) https://fcit.usf.edu/matrix/matrix/
This model was developed by Dr. James Welsh, which incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal-directed. These characteristics are connected with the five levels of technology integration: entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation. TIM was designed to combine technology as a part of the content and instructional knowledge in the classroom rather than a set of knowledge on its own. Thus, creating a system of technological learning that is easy for teachers to implement in the classroom.
The Triple E Framework Model (Engage learning, Enhance learning, Extend learning)
Lastly, the Triple E Framework Model was created by Dr. Liz Kolb, which includes three areas: engage in learning goals, enhance learning goals, and extend learning goals. The goal first is to see if technology engages student learning, then we look to see if their learning is enhanced and extended by technology. In conclusion, as long as there are established learning goals in place, then we can implement technology to enhance the learning outcome.
I believe that all three of these models can be incredibly useful to incorporate into a classroom, but I think the one I would implement would be the Triple E Framework model. The reason I think this model is best for me is because having a goal established first, and then adding technology to enhance the lesson is a good foundation for any lesson. Triple E Framework is the perfect model for me because it allows technology to enhance a lesson when there is a good lesson plan put in place. models can be incredibly useful to incorporate into a classroom, but I think the one I would implement would be the Triple E Framework model.
