ASSURE+Lesson+Plan+on+Web+2.0+Tools

**Abstract** The rationale for this paper is to demonstrate the ASSURE lesson plan for a technology integrated reading unit. The participants in this ASSURE lesson are fifth grade elementary students in the Burlington Area School District. The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) was utilized to understand how technology is applied in the lesson to support student learning. This matrix will appraise the current level of technology in an elementary reading classroom and provide a goal to be attained over several months. Each cell in the Technology Integration Matrix was designed to breakdown the way technology is incorporated into an activity. The TIM allows educators the technology into a unit of study in a meaningful way that enhances the learning experience for all students. Through the use of technology integration the students had moved from the C1 (Appendix) cell of the constructive entry level of technology integration to level D4 (Appendix) where students are exhibiting authentic learning opportunities through application of technology rich lessons by incorporating Web 2.0 tools into the reading curriculum. The assessment process, as well as, a rubric for the assignment is included in this paper. The writer has included all of the components listed on the checklist for this assignment and believes that overall this paper is at a level of Excellent.
