  • Demonstrations are developed to instantiate a particular visual outcome
  • Models are computer instantiations of a particular theory, visual output driven by the theory
• Demonstrations allow for:
  • Color
  • Ease of Collection
  • Motion
  • Interaction
  • Sharing with Students/Colleagues
• Models
  • Allow for easier subsequent development
  • and Extensions
  • Authentic results
  • Flexibility
  • Live usage
  • Exploration
• Models do not have to be full, just enough to illustrate concept and appropriate to the level
• In many cases demonstrations are excellent choices,
  • particularly at more basic classes
