Transformative Technology in the PK-12 Classroom
Westerlin, Sara; Vogt, Spencer
Educational Research: Theory and Practice, v33 n1 p68-72 2022
Technology integration, particularly its growing popularity in PK-12 classrooms in the United States, is an ongoing issue. Studies have shown that professional development around integrating technology in the classroom can only go so far with increasing teacher workloads. Integrating technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) and substitution augmentation modification redefinition (SAMR) frameworks, known as transformative technology, is an effective way for teachers to integrate technology in a meaningful way. Examples are included for elementary, middle, and high school levels to integrate transformational technology in specific content area tasks. Further research is needed to fully understand effective technology integration in schools, especially in public school systems in the United States.
