In a time when our students have access to the internet in their classrooms/labs and remotely from their dorms and homes, we share some examples of how this access, now available at their fingertips, can be beneficiary to their learning and understanding. Topics such as polarity, molecular shape, hybridization, resonance, aromaticity, hydrogen bonding, and chemical bonding can be taught benefiting from the best available wavefunction technology of today.  In addition, a 2d contour and 3d surface and overlap images can be a nice way to enhance the students' understanding and invite their curiosity to try out examples of their own interest.  A step-by-step demonstration of how a computational experiment can be done and textually and visually be used to illustrate important chemistry topics.
