ChemTAG

ChemTAG is a group of chemistry teachers who meet monthly with the purpose of improving high school chemistry instruction. During meetings, teachers perform demos, ask and answer questions, swap lab activities, exchange ideas that work for them and any other activity that helps them to become better in the classroom. Participants run the Demo Den at the New Jersey Science Convention each year, and are active with the Teacher Affiliates of the North Jersey Section supporting National Chemistry Week and Mole Day. Many meetings involve make-and-take activities where teachers build devices for demonstration back at their schools. Meetings are open to all who might benefit and dates and locations are posted on this web page:

ChemEnthusiasts

Chemistry teachers in New Jersey are conferencing in cyberspace. ChemEnthusiasts, a Yahoo Group, is sponsored by the North Jersey Section of the American Chemical Society Teacher Affiliate Group.

Like a listserve, members can post messages by e-mail and there is a searchable archive. Discussions have ranged from evaluating software to brainstorming about improving demos.
Files can be stored and shared by all members. There are folders for favorite lab activities, creative demos, opportunities for professional development, research opportunities for students, software evaluation, and useful websites. The calendar reminds the group of ChemTAG and Chem Central meetings.
