Intro to the SAMR model
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMazGEAiZ9c

"moving from learning places to learning spaces"

The SAMR model is more than just a way to assess the level of integration. It is a way to self-assess, reflect and move forward.

In many respects this is cyclical.

You cannot identify a task itself on the model, rather you need to look at where the task came from. Equally it is not about an app but rather about how the app is used. Be VERY wary of the following poster. It is highly misleading and innacurate

"Geoboard" ipad app. Can have a place but should be used in conjunction with other apps like "explain everything" "Doceri" "Educreations" or "Show Me"

Geometers Sketchpad is licensed for school and home use by both teachers and students.

It allows one to create a shape and then explore the changes when manipulations and transformations are made.

There is a free ipad app also.
