"Technology integration in instruction is a process that starts with setting out clearly defined objectives and ends with assessing learning outcomes against these objectives, and all along the way several tools and strategies are employed to attend to the overall performance of this process. Hence, the first question teachers need to ponder when thinking about using technology in class is not what kind of technology to use but what do they want to achieve behind using this technology? On a deeper level, they need to find answers to questions such as: Does this technology constitute a a good addition to the learning task ? Can the same learning task be performed without using technology? These and several other questions should come to the forefront when you start planning a technology-based learning activity.

Useful application of SAMR for Primary Maths
SAMR models - Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition - are a new idea to me, but very seductive.
Redefinition including working with students around the world in a 'flattened' learning environment using new technologies - of course!
