The Padagogy Wheel
The Padagogy Wheel developed by Allan Carrington provides a model to help teachers (and tech coordinators) look at effectively integrating technology into their classrooms. This model sorts sample apps and steps of Blooms Taxonomy into the SAMR Model. While the apps listed serve as useful examples, the connection between Bloom's Cognitive Domains and the SAMR model is most helpful in thinking about effective ways to take learning to a higher level using technology.![]() |

Holton's Apps and SAMR
The Padagogy Wheel inspired the creation of a simple graphic to sort many of the apps we use here at Holton into the 4 SAMR categories. I present the graphic below during iPad BootCamp 2014 as a way to show that substitution and augmentation are perfect places to start the process of technology integration (when using the iPad specifically) but where we really want to go is modification and ultimately redefinition. Because most of the iPad apps we use at Holton are creation based they tend to more easily fall into the redefinition stage - but of course it all depends on how the app is being used bu the teacher and students! [click on the image below to view full size] The graphic below is certainty nothing particularly special, but I do think it helps to think about the different stages of technology integration and see the ways in which different apps can be used.Resources
