Summary:This paper presents a case study that is part of a research studying how university statistics teachers integrate digital tools in their practice. The case study is of a teacher who claims to follow constructionist ideas for her teaching of statistics, using the R programming language. The teacher developed a series of activities with R, aiming to promote the understanding of statistical concepts. We observed 11 of her classes, in a three-week period. These classes were analyzed using as framework the notion of Instrumental Orchestration and Papert's constructionist principles. We identified four ways in which this teacher orchestrates her class and the constructionist elements present in them. [For the complete proceedings, see ED629884.]
