Recommendation

TPACK Model

As a PYP and an Apple Distinguished School, it is recommended to consider the SAMR model of technology integration as a way to enhance the teaching and learning experience. The SAMR model provides a framework for evaluating the level of technology integration in a lesson or unit of study, and can help teachers move beyond simply using technology as a substitute for traditional tools. By using the SAMR model, teachers can design lessons that fully leverage the power of technology to transform the learning experience, moving from substitution to redefinition.
