Key elements that should appear in an appropriate response:
* Delivery systems comprise one aspect of instructional innovations. Using an electronic wall rather than dry-erase boards could serve a variety of display purposes. The wall could be used to display problems and solutions or anything else of an instructional nature. Holographic displays of three-dimensional views could be helpful in biology (dissecting, for example) as well as when addressing mental modeling and spatial reasoning. Experiential education can make what is taught as part of school as realistic as possible. Vocational education is one example with a long history in education. Schools might attempt to decide and explain to the students how math, for example, relates to the world of life rather than just the world of school.
* The amount of credit should reflect the extent of the response, both in terms of possibilities and functions.
