Abstract

Dynamic (animated) displays of computing processes such as algorithm execution seem useful in teaching computer science. Not everyone agrees with this view, however, and indeed there are some pedagogical pitfalls. This paper addresses this issue and argues that there is a proper role for such capabilities, provided that sufficient attention is given to careful reasoning about programs.
