Monday, 11/26/07 - ASSURE Lesson Format

WebQuest Wrap-up. Today I will provide you with a peer-evaluation handout. It is due on Wednesday, 11/28 at the beginning of class.

Now on to the ASSURE Lesson Format:There are many different lesson plan formats, but one that helps to organize teaching and learning through the use of technology is the ASSURE model:

A: Analyze Learners
S: State Objectives
S: Select the Media, Methods, and Materials
U: Utilize Media and Materials
R: Require Learner Participation
E: Evaluate and Revise

For your Capstone Project for the course, you will select one of the projects you created this semester and write an original lesson plan that uses that project to teach a Georgia Performance Standard. You will use the ASSURE model as your lesson plan format. A web page has been created that will walk you through the development process step-by-step.

Your final product (due Tuesday, December 4th) will be the completed instructional plan template. It will most likely by 3-4 pages long. The largest section of your template should be the "Require Learner Participation" section, as this is where you will describe your actual learning activity -- what your learners will be doing. The project description, deadline and rubric can be accessed from our course website or from this link.
