Message: It is a good-level and comprehensive resource. The website is really complete; you can easily get access to the information needed and it offers a wide range of contents available. Moreover, once registered, it allows downloading as well doing courses on very interesting teaching experiences. For instance, the experience on dissolutions seemed especially worthwhile to me. Furthermore, supporting pictures help to make complex concepts understandable. It is a very innovative and highly recommendable educational proposal. To sum up, I would describe it as remarkably useful and interesting.

Message: I think that Chemistry support service resource would be useful for both students and teachers. Chemistry support service is a website which includes descriptions, applications, examinations, laboratory safety tests topics about chemical teaching. However, it offers a support training set which is broadcasting at certain times of the day. To work with this kit, it is required membership details of users. After you have been member, you may participate these courses, update the chemistry knowledge, improve your information and make your learning more effective and richer at regular intervals. The understanding of abstract concepts may be facilitated through with several images. As well as this can be achieved the prevention of misconceptions. I have some doubts whether this type of education can increase students' interest. The source of my doubt may be comparing and assembling chemistry support service with the other name of "second level support service, SLSS", with distance education system. These sets undermine communication skills and collaborative learning, and they cause monotonous lessons. Considering in this sense, the interest of the student can be setback. However I think that the use of an additional tool would be helpful and enhances interest with material out of class environment. As a result, SLSS can be defined a tool which is outside of formal education and it can increase motivation and interest, as distinct from classroom instruction. It is a known fact that the use of ICT in education often accelerates both teaching and learning. In this context, students’ learning’s more effectively and efficiently can take place these types of instruction, such e-based learning. I think utilizing SLSS in teaching is useful. This type of application is not a new approach although there are not examples in particular branches like chemistry, biology, geology. However, it is an innovative approach to the integration of the classes for branches, because this type of application is often used in distance education.
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.
