Review of 19th Biennial Conference on Chemical Education

Friday, August 4th, 2006

The conference was actually quite fun to attend. This was the first BCCE that I have presented at and I am very glad that I did. My talk on Podcasts, Screencasts and Blogs: Using New Technology in teh Teaching of Chemistry was well attended and very well received. There were many people there who currently podcasting or are close to starting their first attempt.
My co-presenter, Jean-Claude Bradley (His talk isĀ here) and I were surprised that there were no other talks really on podcasting and the like. The BCCE is a laid back conference with presentations usually given in a relaxed, almost conversational way. As with previous conferences I got a bunch of cool ideas that I can’t wait until the semester begins. Some with regard to my screencasting, more regarding lab.
