Modern assembly language has a huge set of instructions, that make them hard to learn, but the concept is still easy to learn.

Many antique computers are simulated by SIMH. If you have the corresponding software, you can operate on your desktop a simulated computer's software development system. For example, DEC VAX (VMS or Unix) has a relatively simple and sane assembly language.

I think, learning a tiny bit of assembler, even if in an emulator, is very valuable to teach the basics.
