TYPE II Technology

In Type II Uses of Technology in Education, Cleborne D. Maddux and Dee LaMont Johnson describe Type II applications as making new and better ways of teaching available - ways of teaching that would not be available without information technology. This concept is not new. It originated it the late 70's and early 80's. Although an oversimplification, Type I and Type II technologies can be further clarified as not "good" and "bad" but instead "simple" and "complex".
