3 Final Assignment

Your final assignment task is a culmination of the lessons that have led to this point. Our challenge to you was to design a lesson in which you integrate technology in support of the planning and implementation of a lesson. Remember that in this particular course we are focusing on how technology supports you as a teacher. Of course this does not mean that you may not use technology to enhance learning – after all, enhancing learning is the main aim of improving as a teacher.

You must design and present your lesson planning using the ASSURE model. You may use any presentation format of your choice provided that your final submission is a file of under 8Mb in size.
