Abstract

Information and communication technology has transformed education and society. Cellphones, projectors, wireless internet access, computers, smart whiteboards, and other evolving technologies are among the tools available for use in the chemistry classroom. If used appropriately, these tools can enhance student learning. Moreover, students have different types of misunderstanding in various chemistry subjects. With the current traditional educational procedures and due to lack of educational facilities at schools or universities, it is not possible to train students practically. Increasing research on the application of emerging technologies in science education can enhance classroom efficiency and appeal. The development of applying online software, especially during the epidemics, can be considered as the main classroom activity. The development of educational software, especially 3D laboratories, has opened new avenues in teaching abstract concepts of chemistry.
