Type I and Type II Technology

Type I technology is technology that students can use on their own with no help from a teacher. They are programs that help students repeatedly practice such skills as adding and subtracting, typing or colors and shapes. Type II technology is technology that is used by teachers to enhance their teaching. Examples include the use of power point, smart boards and graphing calculators that can be hooked up to be viewed by the whole class.
