SAMR Model Level. Augmentation • Why is the Augmentation level? • Allows students to get instant feedback from me as well as their peers. • By choosing to make them have to initially post first before they can see peer responses, I have ensured that they have their own judgments before looking at their peers. • I can see easily who understood the concept at hand, thus rectifying the discussion if needed. • Using TED talks for a means of discussion and Canvas as a means of communication is a direct tools substitute. • It changes the curriculum a bit in making it a student-driven discussion with me chiming in only when warranted.
