This article discusses the term SAMR which is short for substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition. The model is used for technology and learning purposes. It also goes into more detail each one. Substitution is where you can compare the technology being used now to what was used before technology. Augmentation is using technology in place of using a simple task or method. Modification is using technology in the classroom for classroom tasks and situations. The last one is redefinition which talks on behalf of technology being used for all circumstances. This model is a good model to describe technology to students and how society has developed with the use of technology but I don't see any other reason for it than that.
The article also talks about LMS which is a learning management system. What we use here at southern miss as our LMS is blackboard. LMS allows students to connect with their class and professor using different tools. I have used blackboard for a while with different classes and have only posititve things to say. It's a very simple tool with many benefits. Incorporating LMS into a classroom will allow more feedback between other students and teachers, allows students to view their grades quicker, and has plenty of resources for projects.
