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.
