COMMENTS
In terms of bringing chemistry education into the digital age (which most primary and secondary school students have been born into and are very comfortable with) Michael Seery and there Chemical Education Research Team at Dublin Institute of Technology are doing great work. Have a look at the Here's an Idea section of the website: I recommend you try the podcasting!
