One of the key features of BoostEDU is the SAMR Self-Assessments.  In the SAMR Self-Assessments, educators are given the opportunity to assess the depth of SAMR in two ways:

• In-Depth SAMR Self-Assessment is used to analyze the depth of SAMR in specific areas of a lesson.  Educators will receive an editable Google Doc to add ideas for future lessons.
• Basic SAMR Self-Assessment is a short self-assessment that provides educators with the depth of SAMR in their overall classroom.

Personally, I really love the In-Depth SAMR Self-Assessment due to the depth that educators can evaluate their lessons and how it gives them a step towards boosting their old lessons.  One of the great benefits of this self-assessment is the instructional strategy and tech tools suggestions that can be selected and added to a Google Doc.  If you haven’t had an opportunity to test this out, I highly encourage you to click on the link above and assess one of your lessons.

In addition to this self-assessment, I also created a series of Google Docs that contain ALL of the instructional strategy and tech tool suggestions.  These documents are really helpful with designing new lessons and/or redesigning old lessons.  While all of these resources are included in the self-assessment, I felt that some educators might benefit from being able to quickly view all of these suggestions in one place.

CALL TO ACTION: As you might have noticed, the documents are open for anyone to COMMENT.  That’s right, I would love to hear your ideas and have feedback added to this document.  For instance, do you have any ideas for suggestions or tech tools for these areas of a lesson?  Add them in the comments!

Interested in becoming more involved? I would love to have some educators review BoostEDU and highlight their review on this blog.  Contact me at [email protected] if you are interested!
