    Traditional manipulative media are objects and materials that have been present since before the advent of computers and computer-aided technology. Toys, picture and pop-up books, board games, flash cards, and musical instruments fall under this category.

   Digital manipulative media are computer-aided objects and materials that also facilitate and encourage interactive learning. A host of educational computer programs, virtual and online learning platforms, 3D simulations, and video games fall under this category.
