This book's goal is to expose educators to a wide array of online digital teaching tools and to increase awareness of how these tools are currently being used. Teaching and the Internet shares ways in which new technologies, such as collaborative web apps, podcasting, online videos, and social networking sites, are currently being used in the university classroom. The book asks and answers questions like, "How are such technologies impacting our students and the global community?" And, "What will the future of chemistry education look like as such tools become increasingly common?" The book is organized into four sections. Section 1 provides a broad and succinct introduction to social media, smartphone apps, and online review sessions. Section 2 covers internet videos and other methods in flipped and blended classrooms. Section 3 features highly-innovative means of enhancing students' research experience in laboratory courses through two fascinating modern tools: the online Guiding Education through Novel Investigation (GENI) platform and the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, in teaching an analytical environmental chemistry lab. Lastly, Section 4 covers timeless teaching principles.
