What is the ASSURE Model?

What is the ASSURE model?  It is what most teachers should be using when designing their lesson plans.  This model is a lot like our lesson plans, with objectives, materials, and evaluation, but it goes a step or two further.  It shows you how to incorporate technology into our lesson plans.  Since technology is up and coming in schools it would benefit all teachers and future teachers to know how this model works.  So one day they can use it in there lesson plans.  All students like and enjoy using technology so incorporating technology into our lesson plans will only benefit us and the students.  This will be an article and graphic organizer that I will keep in a "to use file".
