Abstract

Modern technology continues to impact all aspects of our lives. This topic explores how various technologies have changed how students learn statistics, and what the educational possibilities might be for new and emerging technologies. These developments include the innovative use of the internet as a means of widespread distribution of software, learning materials, and data, of new devices that blur the distinction between calculators and computers, and of powerful software tools designed specifically for students. Session topics will explore instructional implementations at various scales, with an emphasis on research that explores the extent and impact on student thinking in technology-rich environments.
