Goodbye SAMR, Hello RATL! | IGNITEducation. In the realm of technology integration models, it appears that SAMR is king. While being the most widely recognized model, SAMR is not the only one out there. It is easy for a tech integrationist to ride the SAMR train to seem in touch with the pulse of the ed tech world.
But is SAMR really the best model for you and your district? The concept of SAMR is difficult to argue; push teachers to use technology in transformative ways in their classroom. I understand that Puenteduras’ goal was for every teacher to push toward re-definitive technology integration. One four point model has been proven in countless studies to be effective in the classroom. Take note that the TARGET resides at level three, giving room for the student to excel.
It is because of these flaws that I lean toward the RAT model proposed by Dr. So what about that great 4 point Marzano rubric? So, who out there is ready to RATL up their tech integration? A New Excellent Interactive SAMR Visual for Teachers.
