At the workshop arranged at the National Days of Chemical Education the participants had an opportunity to try out various Ipad apps and methods for utilizing them in chemistry education. The themes were based on the apps used during chemistry teacher education course arranged by the department of chemistry and methods developed on the teacher training school at the University of Jyväskylä. The apps used included Socrative Student, Google Drive, Graphical Analysis, ChemDoodle ja QR-reader. Out of these Socratice, which collects students answers to questions created by the teacher, was considered easy-to-use and the most useful by the participants. The participants also felt, that the workshop had improved their image of IPads as learning tools.
