Type I applications- the use of these types of applications are simply to make the teaching styles already used in class much easier. They do not build on anything, but simply enhance the methods that already exist.
Examples
- Mavis Beacon Typing Program
- Elementary School Level Library Games (spelling etc)
- Using Powerpoints/Overhead Projectors for notes instead of the blackboard
Type II Applications- the use of these applications is to build on the teaching methods we already use, enhancing the learning experience for all the students. In this type application, the learning experience is dependent upon the user.
Examples
-Elementary School Level "The Critters" games
-Interactive online mapping such as http://www.rethinkingschools.org/just_fun/games/mapgame.html
- Berkley Madonna

4/4 Great insights. And BTW, I LOVE that map game! I never knew any of the middle east countries 'til I played that game. I play it over and over again to stay fresh. ;-)
