In the intervening decade the statistics education community has acknowl edged that computational skills are as important to statistics and data sc ience practice as mathematics. There remains a notable gap\, however\, bet ween our intentions and our actions. To understand that gap\, together wit h Nick Horton\, we assembled a collection of papers for a special issue of the Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education (2021) focused on wh at has changed over the last ten years with respect to computing in the st atistics curriculum. Broadly\, the collection of papers (1) suggest creati ve structures to integrate computing\, (2) describe novel data science ski lls and habits\, and (3) propose ways to teach computational thinking. My talk describes the special issue with particular focus on the last of the three aspects: the role of computational thinking: The computer as part of the thinking process and not only a tool for implementing mathematical th eory.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/ESME/11/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
