Teaching Statistics Using Technology

This paper handles the use of technology in teaching statistics at the college level. It distinguishes between teaching statistics at an introductory level in core courses, and integrating statistics as "tools" in different disciplines, and teaching statistics as a science for specialized students. Teaching objectives are different for each category, and thus teaching methods should also be different. While stress is given to computations and how they are done using calculators in some classes, emphasis is given to concepts and their meanings in others where the use of technology promotes active learning, enhances the teaching objectives which in turn influences the method statistics is taught and introduced.
