IntroductionThe ASSURE model uses a step-by-step

process to create lessons that integrate technology & improve student learning.

These lessons align with the National Education Technology Standards for teachers and students as well as curriculum standards.

The ASSURE ModelIntended to assure effective instructionWell designed lessons do a number of things:

Arouse student interestMove to present new materialInvolve student in practiceAssess understandingProvide follow-up activities

Analyze LearnersLearner analysis examines three parts:

characteristics, specific entry competencies, & learning styles

The analysis information is used to plan lessons tailored to meet the needs of the students

Analyze Learners Cont..General Characteristics

Characteristics that may influence student learning can range from gender & ethnicity to attitudes & interests

When planning group work consider gender differences that may impact student attention

When students represent multiple ethnic groups select materials that give high priority to cultural identity and values

Analyze Learners Cont..Specific Entry Competencies

Students’ prior knowledge of a subject influences how they learn more than does a psychological trait

Identify specific entry competencies of students Informally- questioning Formally- reviewing test results or assessments

Entry tests- assessments that determine whether students process the necessary prerequisites (competencies) to benefit from instruction

Analyze Learners Cont..Learning Styles

Psychological traits that determine how an individual perceives, interacts with, and responds emotionally to learning environments such as: multiple intelligences, perceptual habits,

motivation, and physiological factors

State Standards & ObjectivesLearning objectives are derived from

curriculum and technology standards (descriptions of expected student performance outcomes)

Learning objectives is a statement of what each learner will achieve, not how the lesson will be taught.

State Standards & ObjectivesImportance of Standards & Objectives

Basis for Strategies, Technology, and Media Selections

Basis for AssessmentBasis for Student Learning Expectations

State Standards & ObjectivesThe ABCD’s of Well-Stated Learning

ObjectivesAudience- clearly identify the targeted learnersBehavior- verb describing the new capability

that learners will have after instruction (define, categorize, demonstrate)

Conditions- conditions under which the performance is to be assessed (materials or tools the students can/cant use)

Degree- how will you assess the students performance

Selecting StrategiesTeacher strategies involve you teaching

activities.Show a videoRead a storyUse interactive whiteboard

Student-centered strategies engage students in active learning.Discuss a topicSearch the internetListen to podcastsTake pictures of a process

Selecting Strategies cont.When selecting strategies to by make sure

that they will result in student achievement of the standards and objectives.

Keep the students learning styles and their diverse needs in mind.

Selecting Technology & Media When selecting technology and media for

your classroom consider the available resources, the diversity of your learners, and the specific learning objectives to be learned.

Selection Rubrics provide a procedure for judging the qualities of specific technology and media.

Selecting Technology and Media cont.Each rubric contains consistent selection

material and criteria for the designated technology or media.

Selection Rubric Criteria:Alignment with standards, outcomes, and objectivesAccurate and current informationAge-appropriate languageInterest level and engagementTechnical qualityEase of use (for student or teacher)Bias freeUser guide and directions

Selecting, Modifying, or Designing MaterialsThree different options:

Selecting available materials – involve the technology/media specialist, joining other teachers, and survey media resource guides

Modifying existing materials – scan PDF files and modify with software

Designing new materials – design own lesson materials by hand printing or using a computer

5 “P” ProcessThe five P’s are to help in planning your

role for using technology.PreviewPrepare materialsPrepare environmentPrepare learnersProvide learning experience

PreviewGoal: Select the best portions of materials to

utilize so they directly align with your lessonExample: instead of using an entire dvd use

the necessary parts

Prepare TechnologyGoal: Have the technology materials

preparedKnow the sequence of the presentation and

activities

Prepare the EnvironmentGoal: Arrange the space for effective use of

technology so all can hear and see properly.Example: Dark room for videos, access to

power sources

Prepare the LearnersIntroduce the overview of the lessonMotivate students to be involvedTell how it relates to real worldIntroduce unfamiliar vocabulary

Provide the Learning ExperienceDelivery – stand, maintain eye

contact, move while you speak, don’t block view of board

Voice – use natural conversational voice, speak clearly and loudly, pause after key points

Eye contact – making eye contact with individuals for 3 seconds will help keep their attention

they?

Well designed lessons do a number of things, state two.

characteristics, specific entry competencies, & learning styles

Arouse student interestMove to present new material

QuestionsWhat are the two strategies to use when

teaching?

Name one of the things to be considered when selecting technology and media for your lesson.

What are the three different options when selecting materials for your lesson?
