![Page 4: Websites for Teachers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56813783550346895d9f1ac1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Two basic types of technology integration...
Type I– “Make it easier, quicker, or otherwise more
efficient to continue teaching the same things in the same ways we have always taught them.”
(We’re aiming for “Type II”!)
Type II– “Make available new and better ways of
teaching.”

Technology can support learning by facilitating…
EXPLORATION and ANALYSIS of information
SIMULATION of events or processes
VISUALIZATION of abstract concepts
MANIPULATION of variables
CONSTRUCTION of knowledge *
PRACTICE and drilling of skills

But the Web is not all there is…
• Biomechanics software and digital video help PE students learn correct movements
• Digital microscope cameras allow entire classes to view the same microscopic image
• Electronic “smart boards” as projection screens allow teachers to run software demos and capture whiteboard images

of technology and information resources can enhance learning and lead to
