Week 4: ASSURE Model

And so it began! Week four's lesson! 

The great ASSURE Model!

As expected class started with a twist which had me wondering, what's the catch? Is this a trick question?

We then had to review which type of learners we were and a table was generated on the board.

Name	V	A	R	K	M
Shivawn					√
Hosea		√
Genhea					√
Mr. Tongue				√

And so it continued.

Learning outcomes (2 different ways)

2)      Learning outcomes or general objects

At the end of any learning period, term/year

CONCLUSION

Most of this information was quite new to me so I found it a bit challenging to follow at times. The quality of information however was excellent, definitely something necessary to apply in it's entirety when I return to the classroom. Knowing what my students learning styles and planning for them accordingly is an essential way for me to be most effective as a teacher.
