Example of the 4C Rule
Activity 4C’s represented SAMR Level
1st graders take pictures of flowers, embed them in note taking app and write about them
Creativity, Collaboration Substitution - tech acts a tool substitute, replacing old flower poster lesson
1st graders embed native flower pics in Educreations app, record themselves describing the flower and post to class wiki with collaborators from another 1st grade class in Brazil
Creativity, Collaboration, Communication
Redefinition - tech allows for creation of new tasks
Checking for Understanding
What SAMR level is this lesson?
Students track pigeon sightings around the school using a bird watching app, then input this data into a graphing app to track variations in population over the school year.
Example from “The iPad in Practice: Design Flows and Ladders for the Classroom” Ruben R. Puentedura, Ph.D.
Thinglink
A free app that makes images come alive
SAMR Level: Modification or Redefinition-you can modify and significantly redesign tasks. Students are not just writing about an image, they are adding media links, text comments and interacting with others through “tags” or commenting

Teacher FeedbackLauren Teather@laurenteather
“I use thinglink to share exemplar work with my students. I highlight different portions of the work and explain what is excellent about that part.”
Re-defining the Lab Reportcamera - take images and video of stages of science experiment
pic collage - create collage of images
thinglink - use collage and add text, links & video explaining the experiment (hypothesis, conclusions)
blogger - post thinglink image and compare results with other classrooms in the world
creativity + critical thinking + communication + collaboration = Redefinition of a lab report
