Type I and Type II Tecnology

Type I applications that don’t really make a difference in the classroom, they just help keep things rolling. A few examples of that are a new version of Microsoft Word, or getting wireless Internet at school, or maybe a new way or registering for classes. These are all helpful, but don’t really change the world as we know it. But on the other hand, Type II applications of technology are things like SmartBoards, Inter-Library Loans for books, and even how we are all connected by e-campus. These things are all really handy and I feel that we had either advanced or it would be so much harder to stay connected with everyone else.
