Type I and Type II technology are fairly similar, yet differ in many ways. Type I technology is what we think of as old teaching. It is when technology is used in the classroom, but the students are not involved in it. Type II technology is when technology is used in the classroom and it engages the students. In other words, Type I is like sitting back and watching, while Type II is hands on.
Some examples of Type I technology are: a teacher using a PowerPoint presentation as a way to display notes to the class, a teacher showing a movie to a class, and using a projector screen to write notes and show diagrams. Examples of Type II technology are: students using computers to work on WebQuests, students making iMovies, students using blogs to view each other's work and comment about it.
