Abstract
During the on-line conference on “Applications of Technology in Teaching Chemistry” held between 12 June and 20 August 1993 the topic “New Tools vs Old Methods” generated wide interest. This paper is based on the discussions surrounding this topic during the conference and on participants' reactions to a document that summarized the major points made during that discussion. The conference consensus and necessity for using new computer tools in chemical education are supplemented with ideas drawn from the literature. The integration of new pedagogical techniques with the new technology is seen as essential for effective use of computer tools in chemical education. Participants responded very enthusiastically to CHEMCONF. The advantage of computer conferencing as a new tool for educators lies in the opportunity for wide, in depth participation in an adventure of ideas.
