Talking technology

Award-winning chemistry lecturer Michael Seery shares his experiences combining technology and the classroom

I was privileged to have the honour of being awarded the 2012 Royal Society of Chemistry Higher Education Teaching Award. One of the benefits of receiving this award is a supported lecture tour, enabling me to talk about my use of technology in chemistry teaching at five UK universities. In my final duty before passing the title to this year’s award winner, Simon Lancaster, I have written a synopsis of that lecture below.

Michael Seery discusses what he has learnt about chemistry teaching, using technology and preparing for lectures.
