DESCRIPTION OF CONTENTS
In terms of the project needs the publication covers the field of chemistry teacher preparation and the use of ICT during teaching chemistry at high schools. The book was created within the range of a national project Modernization of the education process at elementary and high schools. Around 7000 elementary and high school teachers are involved in the project. About 200 of them are high school chemistry teachers. As the project name suggests it is a study material which offers meaningful way of using ICT in chemistry classes, enriches and diversifies the classes with a proper use of technologies. The authors offer an overview of the ICT use, focusing mainly on the application in high school teaching process from the didactic point of view. The publication is a key material for high school chemistry teachers. Here they can find project ideas, description and comparison of selected school measurement devices and ideas for experiments with the support of school measurement devices (example of an original experiment database with the use of digital technologies), examples of 8 model lessons, different ideas how to teach chemistry with the ICT support, ideas how to achieve that students are more creative and active during the classes. Teachers will also find here examples of an appropriate use of new technologies which have become a part of their teaching e.g. interactive board (many times used only as an expensive screen). These tools can effectively revive the teaching process. One chapter of the publication is devoted to new ways of student evaluation. That means how to teach the students to evaluate their performance (level of their knowledge and skills, diary of learning process).

Message: Information and communication technologies are a challenge for modern education. Rapid development covers areas related to the development and use of new methods and tools for training, introduces new opportunities to improve the educational process in the school. In the information society the education and training need new technological procedures to upgrade the educational process and to make the school an attractive territory for both students and teachers.
The e-learning changes the role and position of both the teacher and students in the learning process, changing their attitude towards the subject and increasing their interest in school activities.
This article examines the use of ICT in the learning process as part of the modernization of education. Proper use enriches and diversifies students, promote chemistry and makes it more understandable to the younger generation. Is a valuable article that describes how good pedagogical practices taught chemistry with the support of ICT. Are given concrete ideas on how students can be more creative and more active in the learning process. Positive aspects of the project used:
1.To create larger interest of the students to show more independent creativity during laboratory lessons;
2.For better motivation for learning;
3.To increase the interest in learning, achieve greater participation and easier detection of the inner essence of the studied phenomena and their practical application;
4.To facilitate teaching, allowing for visualization of the new curriculum;
5. The students will receive more meaningful information;
6.Using a computer creates a positive emotional attitude in students;
7. Teachers are offered examples of appropriate use of new technologies;
Via the combination of the best teaching methods with attractive opportunities of modeling and visualization, conditions for better training are created. Curricula, introduced in electronic form, is suitable for visualization and perception, and poses a number of challenges for students.
All this is related to the meaning of the new education, placed in line with European and international dimensions and attitudes can provide a holistic development of the individual, and hence might be useful to society. Its mission is to help everyone develop their abilities, skills and potential and responsibly to implement their own plan

National Reports on successful experiences to promote lifelong learning for chemistry The national reports on chemistry successful experiences to promote lifelong learning for chemistry are now available on the related section of the project portal. The reports presents examples of successful experiences in the partner countries and the results of testing of ICT resources with science teachers.
