**Utilising Fabulous Web 2.0 Sites to Enrich and Enliven Statistics** applicable for yr 4 and upwards

Statistics aren't boring! They can explain and describe our human life or aspects of our planet. They can confound and confront us with their findings. Statistics can enrich most kla's and are an extremely effective tool to enable the deeper understanding of topics and create higher order connections. Statistics can bring colour as well as academic rigor to HSIE, Science, PDH, PE, English and of course Mathematics! During our time we will explore a wealth of wonderful Web 2.0 sites that allow educators and students to view statistics in a new light. Using principles from Dan Pink's work on marrying right brain approaches to pedagogy into normally left brain fields we will explore what statistics (and the fore mentioned websites) can offer our programming across kla's. This workshop is not just for mathematics teachers and statistics are not just for the mathematically advanced. Come along, bring a laptop or tablet and have some fun with thinking involved!
