...additional thoughts on SAMR...

A technology itself typically can't be classified as S or R etc. Focus on how the technology is used. Think back to the word processing examples that we went over where the same technology could be used at all 4 levels. Another example is YouTube. Even the overhead projector--it typically falls into Substitution but there are a few creative exceptions. :-)

Also, "laptop" and "iPad" are too big to be classified in any one category. Each software or app on the device needs to be evaluated independently and, again, it's not just the app or software, it's how the app or software is used.
