Chemistry in the cloud
Reaching for new horizons through technology and communication
Recently, while attending an event to celebrate the launch of Education in Chemistry’s new mobile app, I realised how important communications and technology are to us as scientists and how vital it is to be able to communicate well.
In the room we had set out our printed archive (now all 51 years), which showed the progression of EiC through half a century of chemistry education – bringing the latest pedagogies and practices into the classroom – sharing the best in innovative teaching practices at the time. Looking around the room, we also displayed several iPads and other mobile devices so the team could demonstrate the app to our guests, as well as PCs set up with access to our website and blog. What a long way we had moved in 50 years, always striving to be at the forefront in using the latest in technology to communicate with our readers and help them bring this into their own teaching practice.
Karen Ogilvie discusses the articles in this issue and how they demonstrate how far technology has advanced since EiC began
