            Students need to be able to experiment with real data in order to

            learn the power of statistics as well as experience multiple ways to

            apply probability. The TI-84 is an effective tool to help students

            and teachers in the classroom. This workshop will engage

            participants in a hands-on use of the Probability Apps and the

            statistical applications that are preloaded on all TI-84

            calculators. Participants will be able to participate in motivating

            activities appropriate for investigating and assessing data

            concepts. Many times teachers bypass real data or creating their own

            data in order to faster access material. Using technology allows

            teachers and students to quickly interpret and apply mathematics to

            make decisions. Participants will be encouraged to discuss the

            applications while becoming proficient with these applications.

            Calculators will be supplied.
