I mentioned it on my comments on Kate’s blog as well, but if you’re interested in dynamic Turing machines, I have a few here, in flash: http://inquiry.mcdaniel.edu/turing/ I think that her technique has great value, as any kind of physical activity in a classroom is likely to have cognitive payoff, but these can supplement such activity nicely.
