SAMR

Nearpod can effectively support the SAMR model (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition) to enhance technology integration in your learning environment. The many options allow for progressively improving one's teaching practices and providing students with a richer, more engaging learning experience. This approach enhances their understanding and prepares them for the digital world.

SAMR: Augmentation

Interactive Features:

Every lesson and presentation can be significantly enhanced through the use of drawing tools, polls, and annotation features on slides, thereby creating a more engaging experience.

Embedded Resources:

Links to external sources, such as articles or videos, can be seamlessly integrated into the lesson, enabling students to access supplementary materials without leaving the platform.

+ Index

SAMR: Modification

Collaborative Activities:

Nearpod provides a range of collaborative tools designed to enhance group work, including the creation of digital posters and real-time brainstorming sessions, thereby transforming the way participants engage with the content.

Virtual Experiences:

Allow students to explore topics in depth by incorporating virtual field trips and enhancing their experiences through immersion in real-world scenarios related to the subject matter.
