Fathom: How it Fits in with SAMR



SUB-stitution....

=Small Sample Size= It isn't terribly difficult to imagine a world where Fathom is used on the substitution level of SAMR. There are so many different applications, graphs, tables, formulas, and it appears to be seemingly endless, we can do just about any mathematical process with Fathom. Some ways we will use Fathom for substitution will be; graphing, entering data into tables, and doing basic calculations to name a few. Using small sample sizes it's easy to see how these manipulations could easily be done by a different mathematical application, on a calculator, in excel, or just by hand. Therefore it is also easy to see how Fathom is being used as a technology for substitution in this manner.



=Larger Sample Size? No Problemo!= Even when we are given a large sample size, we can still use Fathom as a tool for substitution. Rather than using some other source for tracking and graphing data, like say excel or smartdraw.com. Let's check out this [|video] that shows how large sample sizes can be manipulated and adjusted.
