Type I Technology is where teachers use the computer as a reward for doing good work, or as a way to do the same things they have been doing with worksheets, except in a more high-tech way. Type I Technology really does not use the technology as effectively as it could be used. Type II Technolgy is where the teacher uses the technology in new and interesting ways to help students learn. The computer is being used in creative, yet practical ways to increase the students' interest, motivation, and learning.
Some examples of Type I Technology are having students answer multiple choice questions on the computer, having students read a story and answer follow-up questions on the computer, or havign students do math problems on the computer.
Some examples of Type II Technology are having students use the computer to create a PowerPoint presentation that will be presented to the class, having students create different types of graphs reflecting statistics about a country or region they are studying, or having students use the Internet to do research for a project.
