I facilitated three workshops at ASB Unplugged in Mumbai, India this year for international school educators. All three sessions went extremely well and the folks at the American School of Bombay were impeccable hosts, as always.

I love working with administrators and teachers on this kind of redesign work!

Do you think it is still valuable to have the SAMR conversation with teachers so they have a better understanding of how tech is being utilized in a lesson (and possibly the task relation to Blooms) or would you suggest going right for trudacot when working with teachers around technology integration?
When I did these workshops at ASB, we also talked early on about SAMR as a useful conceptual framework. But then we spent nearly all of our time with trudacot and discovered / discussed how it helps fill in the implementation gaps that SAMR leaves…
