SAMR Model
The SAMR model was popularized by Dr. Ruben Puentedura as way to support teachers in transforming learning experiences through the use of technology. SAMR stands for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition. Each level summarizes the way learning activities might be enhanced and approved via the addition of technology tools. While it appears that the model is a hierarchy with all lessons and activities eventually needing to evolve to the Redefinition level, that is not the case. For example, substituting word processing for handwritten papers remains an effective way to enhance the writing process.
The image below provides a visual of the SAMR model steps and shows that when you move from Augmentation to Modification the learning activities are being transformed instead of enhanced. "SAMR in 120 Seconds" is a video that does a good job of explaining the model.

HyperDocs is a term used to describe a Google Doc that is designed to provide an amazing learning experience by incorporating well-planned instructions and hyperlinks. HyperDocs was first used as a name for this type of learning experience by Sarah Landis and Lisa Highfill. Lisa used the following words to describe the HyperDocs experience. "With one shortened link, students can access a lesson that contains instructions, links, tasks, and many clever ways to get kids thinking. Focusing on creating opportunities for choice, exploration, and ways for kids to apply their knowledge is key to creating a truly innovative HyperDoc."
