Simulations and virtual reality: This lets students physically work through a situation.

They can use touch screen devices to work through problems as well. Models: This can show students what the finish product should look like. If a student has difficulty getting started or visualizing what is expected, models can help them. Students could show they understand the assignment by seeing if it is comparable to the model.
