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
