1 Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee
Workshop on Teaching Introductory Statistics Sessions 7: Using Technology, Parts II: Conceptual Understanding Using Simulation Roger Woodard, North Carolina State University Ginger Holmes Rowell, Middle Tennessee State University Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee July 10-13, 2006

2 Using Technology: Simulation
Simulations can Answer “what if” Provide visualizations of concepts Encourage active learning Can be tactile for the kinesthetic learners Can lead to “ah-ha” moment and long term learning 5

3 Using Technology Sessions
Outline Part I: Analyze Data Demo statistical software Time for project work Part II: Conceptual Understanding Visualization through Simulation Software, Calculator, Applets

4 Simulation: Process To help students understand results of simulations (an example of the process) Decide on your objective Start with hands-on simulation Move to a computer simulation Help them make the real world connection Provide follow-up (ex. Coin Activity, fill in the blank)

5 Technology for Simulations
Demonstrations Statistical software Fathom (handout) Graphing calculators TI simulation applications TI activity (handout) Internet Applets

6 Simulation: Internet Applets
Rossman/Chance Applet Collection Cybernostics Project Applet Collection (West) WISE Project Statistical Java Statistical Applets: Animated Exercises
