Another Online resource
When you go through this site you will notice that the students used Fathom
extensively. Ontario has licensed Fathom (Dynamic Statistics Software) for
all publicly-funded schools. You and your students will find that Fathom, like
Geometer's SketchPad, is a pedagogical tool designed for concept
development in Data Management and Statistics. Fathom allows for exploration
in ways that are not possible in other Statistical packages. Some of you will
have been fortunate to attend one of the Fathom workshops organized through
the Fields Institute by Tom Steinke, Stewart Craven and Gord Cooke. An
outcome of these workshops was an online resource housed at
www.vlearning.ca.
