Through this week’s study, we focused on how to evaluate multimedia.Because we are exposed to different and various multimedia every day, we need to evaluate multimedia in depth.

First we applied SAMR to evaluate the multimedia,

  • Substitution: It’s like finding a direct replacement, there’s no difference in essence.
  • Augmentation: Find a tool replacement with improved functionality.
  • Modification: It is possible to make significant improvements to a task or even redesign it.
  • Redefinition: It is possible to create a completely different new task.

Secondly the SECTIONS model is used to make effective decisions about the selection and use of teaching and learning media. By reflecting on SECTIONS, we can identify the advantages and disadvantages of each technology and make a more informed choice.

According to the TPACK framework, it suggests that teachers need to understand the intersection of technology, pedagogy, and content so that they can guide and direct scholars to a better and deeper understanding of the subject matter. It also describes the interactions of the various aspects thus creating TPACK.

So in conclusion I think SAMR, PTACK, and SECTION are all theory in practice, and they all have the same goal of integrating evolving technology into the classroom, but they have different emphases.
