Type I and Type II

The Type I use of technology in the classroom is basically teaching the same things that teachers have always taught in about the same ways that they have always taught them. Type II is using technology to find new and exciting ways of teaching.

Some examples of Type I would be perhaps a program where math questions were flashed on the screen while the student enters in the answer, a program used solely for spelling words correctly, or a program where students make art on the screen in a basic fashion.

Type II examples would be perhaps using Google Earth to study local geography, creating web-pages instead of writing book reports or composing a song using Garageband to accompany a project.
