Contemporary Issues in  with guest editor Scott M. Waring

Contemporary Issues in Technology and Social Studies Teacher Education is sponsored by the College and University Faculty Assembly (CUFA) of the National Council for the Social Studies. The purpose of this journal is to provide a forum for reporting on research relating to social studies content, teacher education, and technology. Although research reports and theoretical articles which address social studies technologies in teacher education are the main focus of the CITE Journal, we are also interested in publishing scholarly research on social studies teacher education that makes creative use of technology in the presentation of the article on the Web. Because the journal provides a unique opportunity for dialogue, we encourage commentary on existing articles. These commentaries will be refereed and are presented along side the original in later editions. CITE — Social Studies Education is edited by Richard Hartshorne & Scott M. Waring.
