In 5/6 we have identified that we create work that can be of a Modified level in the SAMR model. We understand the Pedagogy MUST match the technology, but the difficulty is knowing the content, as well which technology fits the content (forever changing and evolving).

We have been directly working towards redefining the learning experience for our students. In our units, students are working towards creating show me videos, stop motion animation and posts on blogs to show how their learning can be of meaning to everyone else. Their final question is ‘so what’ how does what I have learnt have an impact on our school, community and wider world. We are working towards connecting our blog to the outside world, including classrooms both locally and globally.

This journey of exploring Google apps has made me realise that Google apps may not actually be the way we need to go. I think google apps allows us to modify learning according to the SAMR model, but to take it to the next step of Redefinition we need to utilise another ICT tool.  Maybe a blog?
