The SAMR model was used throughout this unit overview to ensure that students were continually transforming their knowledge.
As students are digital natives, it is important to cater towards their thirst for technology, so by using SAMR as the scaffold in designing quality and authentic learning experiences, students were able to fully transform their learning into something that they could retain and also enjoy. As technology was the core focus in some of the included lesson plans, it was important to ensure that the technology was able to redefine the student's learning instead of merely substituting it (Oxnevad, S., 2013).
