ASSURE
ASSURE model is
just one strategy to effectively integrate technology into curriculum. As
you become a more experienced teacher, you will probably find that the steps in
the ASSURE model are second nature and that will lead to better teaching.
The “A” stands
for Analyze the learner.
-
You should know who
your students are (e. g. demographics, prior knowledge, learning styles,
academic abilities) on a multitude of levels, and use this knowledge in every
lesson you plan.
The first “S”
stands for State objectives.
-
Each lesson will
probably be tied to curricular objectives and this step reminds you to keep
these objectives as the focus of the student learning.
The second “S”
is Select media and materials.
-
You will have to
decide which materials and media can best help your students master the
learning objectives you have identified.
The “U” stands
for Utilize media and materials.
-
A teacher should
always test the media first, to help prevent disappointment. In other
words, make sure you have tried the software or device to ensure that it is age
appropriate, grade appropriate, usable, and valid for the lesson and objectives
being taught.
The “R” stands
for Require learner participation.
-
Your students are
going find learning more meaningful when they are actively involved in the
learning process and not sitting there passively.
Finally, the “E”
stands for Evaluate and revise.
-
Becoming a good
teacher requires that you constantly evaluate your own teaching, evaluate the
student learning, and make needed revisions for the next lesson and for the
next time you teach the current lesson.
