The SAMR model has been further extended with elements representing levels of students’ digital tool usage (Figure 18), which can be passive, interactive, and creative. The teacher's usage of digital tools is reduced to three levels: replace, amplify and transform. This model is named PICRAT (Kimmons et al., 2020) after the first letters of the English terms. In the new model, the integration of technology can be represented in a two-dimensional matrix.

Passivity is transformed into interactivity when peer-to-peer task solving or individual exploration through interactive interfaces becomes part of the learning process, such as when students participate in digital games or solve problems through tests or puzzles. Other examples include students collaboration in online escape rooms by solving problems or participating in interactive multi-platform strategy video games. The highest level, the
