Transcript: Teaching the SAMR Model – Warringa Park School
Laura Meney, Leading Teacher of eLearning: So my role as Leading Teacher of eLearning at Warringa Park is to predominantly work with staff in order to build their capacity for integrating technology throughout their programs. So what I’ve been aiming to do is upskill a group of people who really are passionate about the technology and the possibilities that it can bring, and for them to then feedback within their teams to create a sort of mushroom effect.
In my work with teachers we do look at the SAMR Model and we look at how we can modify and redefine the learning experiences for our students. One of the ways in which, what this might look like would be – if a student was creating some footage using the stop motion app. They might then put it into iMovie and add to it with different images or slides or an explanation of what’s actually happening.
Sue Vandermeer, Parent: The ePortfolio is something that the kids create in conjunction with their teachers to showcase everything that they have learnt, and it’s presented in pictures and photos. And he is so keen to show us everything that he has done for the term. It’s just fantastic. 
Voiceover: The staff now are able to create individual, flexible learning environments to cater for the individual needs, learning styles of our students.
