SAMR model

This week’s reading gives us a look at the SAMR model, as a 21st-century student, I strongly believe that multimedia is the key to our future learning trend, online open learning. The reason I strongly believe this is because of the flexibility it provides. During the pandemic, most of the courses are changed from face-to-face lectures to online lectures, these changes gave me a more flexible timetable and I can actually learn more with that timetable as I saved time from taking transport, and I can also access lectures recording anytime I need to. By understanding more about multimedia skills, I also gain more knowledge on online open learning. The SAMR model is a guideline for me to evaluate how many technologies are the best for me to study. For example, one of the presentations I made with my classmates during the pandemic is through google docs, in which we can give instant feedback and communicate instantly, the convenience it provides is helping us to use our time more efficiently, a convenient and efficient way of learning helps us to have better experiences on studying, how can we not embrace the redefinition stage of educational technology integration? It is the future trend of education, and I believe that we should be ready before it strikes us hard.
