With an assignment for your students in mind, draw a few molecules, copy and paste them to a Word document, adjust formatting, write some questions and/or discussion, etc.

You might also use this document as a template and create an assignment where the students will learn to use ChemSketch and the 3DViewer as a laboratory or homework assignment.

Tell them which molecules to draw, how to copy them to the 3DViewer and do a structure optimization, what bond distances/angles to measure, and ask them questions about what they discover.

Remember, the educational process is more effective when students discover facts and draw conclusions on their own (with some guidance from you). Tools such as ChemSketch/3DViewer can open up many possibilities for inquirybased learning where students are actively engaged in the learning process. Development of effective assignments that utilize technology takes some serious thought and effort on your part. Start by developing one or two activities that utilize ChemSketch and see how things work with your students.
