I've heard several references to SAMR in recent days, and as Miguel Guhlin suggests, we're rediscovering old ideas. Not that there's anything wrong with that. In fact, it's a good thing. "Tweaking someone elseís idea isn't nearly as satisfying, or as effective, as designing an activity that fits the unique combination of factors that present themselves in any particular classroom at any particular point in time. Reinvention; the process of taking something like a new tool or idea and making it our own in its application, is very important to both teachers and students." But once you've done that, go back and take a look at the old stuff - you can see the differences that point the way to innovation.
