We invited the creators of the five prominent models for teaching with technology to help us compare and contrast their features in the context of generative AI. Join us for a side-by-side exploration of SAMR, TPACK, and the Triple E technology integration frameworks and emerging frameworks, SETI and GenAI-U. In Part Two, we get a better understanding of where each model is best suited to bring generate AI into your class, course, or school district.

For the first time, the creators of the SAMR, TPACK, and the Triple E technology integration frameworks met to discuss their widely adopted models and how they fit in the age of generative AI. They are joined by the creators of two emerging frameworks, SETI and Gen AI-U. In this series, we explore all five models, their differences, and where each best fits. Part one unpacks what these frameworks enable educators and school leaders to do. Together, the panel reveals why small and big thinking is required to teach effectively with Gen AI.

There are growing signs that conventional thinking about introducing technology into classrooms is shifting.  Some educators believe that established technology integration frameworks need to evolve to meet the unique features of generative AI.  At ISTE Live 24, we interviewed several technologists and school leaders to get a quick take on whether we're seeing a blip or an emerging trend.

Random technologists and school leaders from the exhibit hall at ISTE Live 24. We spoke with a general education teacher, a stem teacher, a technology integration specialist, a Chief Technology Officer, and a Director of Innovation.

Some educators view the SAMR model for technology use in teaching as a “hill to climb” with the aim of getting to the top. The founder clarifies this misunderstanding and shares smart ways to use the model to suit your unique teaching needs in the age of generative AI.

Professor John Hattie is an education researcher. His research interests include performance indicators, measurement models, and teaching and learning evaluation. John Hattie became known to a broader public with his two books, Visible Learning and Visible Learning for Teachers. Visible Learning is a synthesis of more than 2,100 meta-analyses drawn from more than 130,000 studies involving more than 400 million students from all around the world. According to John Hattie, Visible Learning results from 15 years of research about what works best for learning in schools. TES once called him “possibly the world’s most influential education academic.”

How applicable is the SAMR model for selecting, using, and evaluating Generative AI in education? Are any adaptations needed? If so, where and what? We checked in with the creator of SAMR for an update and learned how he is using and supplementing the framework in the age of Gen AI.

John Hattie discusses the impact of technology in classrooms and the importance of collective efficacy in teaching. Hattie, author of Visible Learning, emphasizes the need for teachers to understand their students' learning processes and create a safe environment for them to express their struggles. He also highlights the potential of technology, particularly when used in pairs, to enhance learning. Hattie suggests that social media can be a powerful tool for students to discuss their learning difficulties. He also mentions the potential of AI chatbots in facilitating students' learning process.

CoSN collaborated with school system leaders across the United States of America to create a generative AI readiness checklist. The guide covers the essential bases required to prepare for AI implementation, touching on executive leadership, operations, data, technical aspects, security, and legal readiness. The discussion covers promising possibilities for decreasing administrative load and the big pitfalls, including cybersecurity threats. The conversation also covers the importance of addressing equity and bias in AI use and the necessity for ongoing education about responsible AI usage for all members of the school community, preparing them for an AI-centric future.
