The RAT Model:](https://www.slideshare.net/joanhughes/hughes-scharber-site2006)

TRANSFORMATION: Here we leave our lessons behind and create something impossible before technology. Students can create movies, cartoons, and interactive images that will help show how well they understand the concept you are teaching while simultaneously learning to use technology for more than just social media and gaming.
AMPLIFICATION:Many of us find ourselves here. We not only use word processors but also have used Google Slides, Drive & Docs, PowerPoint, Prezi, We even use an app like ClassDojo to share information with students and parents. We may even use apps like Padlet, Pinterst or Spreaker but we have not yet completed our transformation for 21st century learners.
REPLACEMENT: When you just use some form of technology to replace paper and pencil or chalk and chalkboard Or when you just use the computer or iPad as a book. If so, you are stuck in replacement!

Technology as Transformation.
💥 Changes
⚠ the students' learning processes,
⚠ and / or the actual subject matter.
⚠ the instructional method,
💥 a framework for amplifying / transforming ICT use, called SAMMS:
💥 That' so because it also implies changes in
1 The actual mental work is changed or expanded.
2 The number of variables involved in the mental processes are expanded.
3 The tool changes the organisation in which it had been used.
4 New players become involved with the tool's use (or expanded use of the tool).
5 New opportunities for different forms and types of learning through problem solving, unavailable in traditional approaches, are developed.
Situated learning that makes the most of access to an abundance of online resources, to work in ways that are multimodal, mutable and socially networked
