1. Learning aims are broad and general statements that explain the overall purpose or direction of a learning experience. They describe what the teacher wants to achieve and what students are expected to gain in a general sense. On the other hand, learning objectives are specific and detailed statements about what students should be able to do after the lesson or course. Objectives are clear, measurable steps that break down the broader aim into smaller, achievable targets.
2. Example:
   Learning aim:Students will be able to write clear and engaging personal narrative essays.
   Learning objective: By the end of the 4 sessions, students will write a personal narrative essay that includes a clear introduction, descriptive details, and a thoughtful conclusion. They will use sensory language and organize their ideas logically.

• Specific – writing a personal narrative with key elements
• Measurable – inclusion of introduction, details, conclusion, and sensory language
• Achievable – appropriate for 6th grade students
• Relevant – supports personal narrative writing skills
• Time-bound – Within 4 session

After reading about both models and attending yesterday’s session, I believe that both ADDIE and ASSURE helps me as a teacher design a solid step-by-step process for the lessons, and each one stresses on how important it is to know your students’ needs from the very start meaning that I need to analyze the learner at the beginning of the process to insure the instruction is appropriately targeted. The main difference is that ASSURE is much more focused, acting like a practical guide for choosing and using classroom technology and media effectively, while ADDIE is a broader, more general framework. I definitely prefer the ASSURE model because I love using tech tools in my class and it increases engagement and provides diverse learning pathways. As the overview of the ASSURE model on word press highlights, ASSURE’s specific steps for selecting and utilizing technology help me intentionally integrate things like apps and videos to create more interactive and engaging lessons for students. It feels more directly tailored to a modern classroom that spent almost their whole childhood using technology.

Really liked your detailed explanation and clear example. Your example with the “Nature Copycats” theme is very practical and easy to understand Mrs. Simuzar!

I agree Hamsa that learning aims give us the big picture of what we want to teach, while learning objectives break that down into specific, measurable steps. Your example of using SMART learning with KG students is very practical and shows how important it is to keep objectives clear and achievable for young learners. Great answer!

Excellent points Miss Shaima!👏 I also prefer the ASSURE model for its practical, classroom-friendly structure. It really helps turn analysis into action.
