Read about Periodic Table Live! and try it with your students! PTL! is a free resource available from the ChemEd DL at http://www.chemeddl.org/collections/ptl/index.html.

This post contains a PDF file of an article from the October 2009 issue of the Journal of Chemical Education. The article describes how Periodic Table Live! can be used effectively in both high school and college courses. Because the Periodic Table Live! is available in a wiki, students can contribute to the information it contains and  assignments can be structured so that students find information about the elements and share that information with others.
