Difference between Type I and Type II technology?
type 1 is using technology as a replacement for an old system not innovative not as engaging not using technology to enhance learning just a novelty

Type I take something and changes it and makes it better. Type II is something different entirely. Chemistry analogy: physical reaction vs. chemical reaction--water->ice can go back; baking can't take away the heat

type 1 using technology just for what it was made for and type 2 uses it for more than just its intended purpose

type 2 is more engaging; will create deeper learning; teaches other skills other than just the subject matter being taught

type 1 is using technology to do something that you don't need the technology to do it; type 2 you can't do without the technology; type 2 gives new knowledge; type 1 is cue card application vs index cards; type 2 is running simulation

Difference between a multimedia presentation and a digital story?
multimedia is just a presentation that includes the information; just the basic content; doesn't tell a story; introduces topic and then talks about it. digital story has a beginning middle and end; present information in new creative way that engages; inspires; gets students thinking at a different level; digital story can tell the exact same information but it tells the story instead of just giving information

digital story doesn't have to include 2 types of media--(multimedia is more than 1 medium); multimedia doesn't necessarily mean a story, it could just be a presentation that you added music to the background or a song where you added a picture

digital story is more type 2; a bunch of overheads and music in the background is multimedia; digital story makes content memorable; entertainment makes it more engaging and creates a connection

digital story more engaging; more fun to make and more fun to watch; multimedia is just presenting information; students learn more when they make a digital story

a multimedia presentation is a presentation that incorporates multimedia; a digital story is a multimedia presentation but more advanced; like a compound word; a more improved version;
