Type I technology is simply a use of technology in the classroom where most of the results are predetermined. An example of Type I technology are rudimentary applications that teach spelling or the home row keys. A few more examples of Type I technology would be a PowerPoint that is simply giving the information to the students in the classroom, also it could simply be a web quest in which all the information is provided and the user must go along with it to find the solution.
Type II technology is a lot more user integrated. This is the technology in which the outcome is determined by the input of the user instead of being predetermined by the programmer. A few examples of Type II technology would be the drunk driving simulator that I did at an open house for a college, or creating a historical documentary on the computer using iMovie, it could also be making a website to convey the ideas of a certain subject matter in an abstract way.
