Here is an example activity that could be involved with the ILM ~Trevor []

Mr. Weeks: It would be nice if the ILM were a little more interactive and showed more info in the middle. It the A[i] showed A[i]=A[5]=34 for example depending on where you were in the array. And if you clicked on a cell, it would update that info rather than having to dial it in with the widgets on the lower left part of the ILM. And maybe it could show how much memory was being taken up. Maybe there could be a variation that would show vectors. I'm torn between the two because to me it seems like arrays are more accessible with our really limited amount of time even though vectors are dynamic.

Vicki: Are you saying you want the formula to appear for a specific location? Are you saying a plane would appear for a given cell clicked? The view could be pretty wild if we tried to see a particular row. I agree the view is pretty awkward, but I'm not sure what would really help.
