Type I and Type II Technology MEL

Type I

1. The computer class that I had in middle school that taught us the 'proper' way of typing.
2. Teachers before a big project will always bring their class to the library to go over how to research topic on the computer. I feel like I got brought to the library so many times from the same power point and speech through out middle school and high school on basically how to use the internet and a search engine.
3.  Teachers always seem to go over format for papers and styles every time that they assign a paper in class, even after their paper format has previously been stated for other papers. 

Type II

1. In my Geo in Education class we explored different ways to make maps, add trails, bring in our GPS information and apply it to arial photo's. It was a nice way to use the computers to get us involved in mapping.
2. Also in Geo class we looked at lesson plans on Nationalgeographic.com and they had a lot of interactive website incorporated into their lesson plans, such as virtual tours and interactive maps. 
3. When a teacher introduces a new program to the class, like iMovie, and has the class to projects that relate to the class objective with a new program. For one of my history classes, America since 1945 with O'Brien, we made a documentary in the class with a focus covering the outlined time period. All the pictures and information was researched and presented by us.
