SAMR Speed Dating

Teachers in Cohort #8 (West Ashley Elementary DLC Schools) shared modified 1:1 lesson plans with each other in a speed dating format. They had two minutes to tell a partner the highlights in their lesson. After several rotations, they selected a partner they wanted to "date". The "date" conversations involved examining the level of SAMR, identifying learning opportunities for students to engage in one or more of the "4 Cs" (creation, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking), and the apps used in these lessons. The dates were very successful and all of the teachers learned from each other. They shared meaningful tips and suggestions with each other for 1:1 learning with iPads.
