The television game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" has been adapted for use in a classroom setting to heighten the interest of students and the instructor. The technique enhances interaction between students and instructor and can be used as a review method or as a way of presenting new material. Individual students are given an opportunity to answer multiple-choice questions orally, with the possibility of receiving help from the class at large. Ideas for possible topics are presented.

The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.
Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students.
Occasionally, collections of JCE back issues become available for donation to individual teachers, schools, or libraries. JCE matches collections with interested recipients. Recipients pay shipping costs or pick up the collection.
