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 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. Print this page and use the checklist to ensure you have completed everything. Your submission must include the following items:
| Checklist item |  |
|
| 1 | You have included your name in the submitted file’s file name and at the beginning of your lesson. | |
| 2 | You have used the ASSURE model and included all elements of the model. | |
| 3 | You have clearly indicated which media and technology resources you used. | |
| 4 | You have explained how you will use the selected media and technology resources to achieve the learning objectives. | |
| 5 | Your lesson and final assessment are aligned to your stated curriculum learning objectives. | |
| 6 | Your presentation is contained in one file of under 8Mb. |
The assessment rubric for this assignment will be the same one you used in the peer review, the basic form of which is as follows:
| 0-2 | 3-5 | 6-8 | 9-10 | |
| Analyse learners | Not completed or very little evidence. | Few student characteristics are included. | Most student characteristics are included, but some key information is missing. | Students are described including grade, demographics, learning styles, and background knowledge, etc. |
| Curriculum objectives | Not completed or very little evidence. | Learning objectives are included but rudimentary/not defined (too many). | Learning objectives are provided, but key information is missing. | Learning objectives include behaviour to be demonstrated; conditions under which behaviour will be observed; degree to which learned skills are to be mastered. |
| Select instructional methods, media, and materials | Not completed or very little evidence. | Inappropriate technology is included and/or no explanation is provided. | Appropriate technology is included, but not well described. | Appropriate technology hardware/software is fully integrated. Media implementation is described and an explanation for how media helps to meet objectives is provided. |
| Utilise media and materials | Not completed or very little evidence. | Evaluation of technology use is poorly written and inadequate. | A technology evaluation is included, but is not sufficient to fulfill lesson objectives | Evaluation of how technology is used to meet the learning objectives is detailed and complete. |
| Require learner participation | Not completed or very little evidence. | Individual acquisition of lesson information. | Individual OR group activities are planned, but learning does not fully represent a constructivist approach to learning | Individual and small/large group activities are planned and the lesson incorporates excellent constructivist approach to learning. |
| Assessment | Not completed or very little evidence. | Criteria for success are barely described. | Criteria for success are at least partially described. | Criteria for success are clearly stated in the form of a rubric. Criteria include qualitative as well as quantitative descriptors. The evaluation instrument clearly measures what students must know and be able to do to accomplish the task. |
