Redefinition is the most intensive use of technology in the SAMR model and is reached once teachers use technology to redefine tasks and create a new way of learning (Hamilton et al., 2016). Technology replaces a non-technology tool and it is used to create something that is not able to be made without that tool (Huynh, 2021). Students move from being a consumer of technology to a producer and increase their understanding of technology soft skills like collaboration, communication, technology literacy, and being able to access and use new technologies. Students put growth mindset into practice by learning new topics while also learning new ways to share their learning (Best, 2020).

Examples of this ultimate level of technology integration include using virtual field trips to places students could not go in person, for example students in New York City visiting the Great Barrier Reef. Creating stop motion animation (EdTech Classroom, 2021) or green screen movies to explain learning would be more examples of Redefinition. Creating infographics comparing literature and current events, then sharing those products with authentic audiences is an example shared by Tan Huynh in his blog post titled SAMR: Meaningfully Integrating Technology. Students create real world, authentic pieces and share their work with actual audiences beyond the classroom. Instead of a written comparison of two literature pieces, students can produce an interactive website where the literature is compared and contrasted, and others are encouraged to add their thoughts and ideas to enhance the work through many different activities (Bell, 2020).
