Type I and Type II Technology

Type I and Type II technology are different in how interactive they are with the user. Type I is not as interactive as Type II, thusly it is easier to find more creative uses for type II technology .

examples:
Type I:

many power points that are used instead of lecture notes
I've had to take multiple choice tests on line for a computer class
e-books

Type II:
Oregon trail played as a lesson
I've seen strategy computer games used to reenact famous battles
Web Quests

Nice job on this assignment. 3/4 due to typos: be consistent about capitalizing Type; PowerPoint is a proper noun and needs to be punctuated the way the manufacturer does.
