With The ASSURE model you are Assured .

The ASSURE Model is:     
 

•     A procedural guide for planning and delivering  instruction that integrates technology and media into the teaching process.

•     A systematic approach of writing lesson plans.

•     A plan used to help teachers organize instructional procedures.
•      A plan used to help teachers do an authentic assessment of student learning.

The ASSURE model as seen earlier  contains six steps and the letters in ASSURE form an acronym. 

A  - Analyze the learners
S  - State objectives
S  - Select methods, media and materials
U  - Utilize media and materials

R  - Require learner participation
E  - Evaluate and revise

In the earlier post I shared with you about the first two steps that is analyse and state objectives and now let us look at the next two which are Select Methods, Media and Materials and  Utilize media and materials

The teacher first selects a teaching method, followed by materials

and media that are available. He/she also modifies and develops

other materials. 

Once the teacher has selected the right materials, methods and media this will give him a way of delivering the lesson and achieving the intended objectives. 

It is the appropriate materials that will make the lesson interesting and motivational. with the right materials the different learning styles are catered for that is visual , auditory and kinesthetic . 

Then once the right materials , media and methods are chosen, next is knowing how to use them. Therefore it is not only about having the right tools but also how to use them matters a lot.

  It helps to know how , where and when the selected materials, media and methods should be used which leads to systematic flow of the lesson.
