What is Triple E

What is SAMR

SAMR is a series of scaffolded steps that a teacher can use to evaluate how technology is used in the classroom. The scaffold starts with Substitution and rises through the steps of Augmentation, Modification and Redefinition. Ultimately the goal of all teachers would be to get to the redefinition stage

What is TPACK

TPACK stands for Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge. It is a framwork that teachers can assess their teaching based on three contexts that overlap like a venn diagram: Technological Knowledge, Pedagogical Knowledge, and Content Knowledge

What is Triple E

Triple E is a framework that educators can use to measure the degree in which the technology in a lesson is helping students meet the learning goals and focuses specifically on learning goals

What are the differences?

TPACK deals mostly with seing how your knoledge of content, the way you teach it, and the knolwedge of technology intersect and interact. Triple E is more of a framework to focus on how technology is helping students learn their goals, and SAMR is a scaffold much like Blooms Taxonomy to show how deep technology is being used in the classroom.

What are the similarities?

The similarities between the three is that each is meant to help the educator ensure that technology is being used pedagogically in the best way possible. To ensure that students are learning and staying engaged through the use of technology.

Myself in TPACK

I can see myself using the contexts of TPACK by evaluating how my content, pedagogical and technology knolwedge intersect. I can understand how I may be pretty well versed in content and pedagogy but may not know how to use technology in the best way, so this would be an area that I could focus on, especially in my physics class.

Myself in SAMR

I really like SAMR and I can see how there are certain lessons where I am only using technology at the substitution level, but there are other aspects of the unit where I am starting to be at the redifinition level.

Myself in Triple E

I feel like Triple E is most similar with SAMR in that there is somewhat of a scaffold and you're aiming for the enhanced level of of the framework. With each part of your lesson you can extend the lesson, and use technology to engage the students, but with enhance you're most likely to get the most knolwedge retention for the students.I resonated the least with Triple E.
