I can now confidently conclude that the Assure Lesson Plan model is indeed one that I can not do without if I am to successfully design a Technology rich lesson. In the last lesson I have discovered a number of ways to make my learners engaged in the lesson in ways I orignally was not doing namely:
Placing them in groups allows them to more confidently share their views which they would have not done in a large class due to fear.

- Allowing learners to have hands on experience with the desktop computers as compared to using the projector or chalkboard to illustrate concepts.
- Making the learners have a first time experience of a new activity (e-titration with iLab) which if done in a real laboratory for the first time could be potentially harmful to learners.
- Allowing the learners to critique their own work across groups an make recommendations to their peers.
- Allowing learners to share their own work online and go a head to get hands on experience on the internet.

These are just a few of the ways I believe has increased learner engagement in my class as a result of applying the Assure Model. The model is one I would highly recommend because preparation for your lesson is detailed enough for you to literally picture the lesson even before carrying it out. The break down of its steps right from Annalysing the learner to Evaluating the learner is very systematic and gives clear guidelines for proper preparations.
Not that I am less informed but I do not think I have anything to add or to modify in the ASSURE model.
