Guest Editorial: The State of the Field: Technology, Social Studies, and Teacher Education

David: Okay, Adam, here’s the plan – the SITE social studies content strand needs a paper that focuses on the state of the field. The paper will be posted on the SITE Web site and also published in Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal). We hope that it will serve as a foundation, guide, or point of entry (and contention) for social studies teacher educ ators and researchers who are “interested in the creation and dissemination of knowledge about the use of information technology in teacher education” (Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education Mission Statement, see http://site.aace.org). Simple enough job, me thinks.
