The Science Section of Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education is sponsored by the Association for Science Teacher Education (ASTE). The unique purpose of this journal is to publish peer-reviewed research reports and theoretical articles on the use of innovative technologies in science teacher education. We encourage manuscripts that deal with the education of preservice or inservice science teachers as well as college level science faculty. This online journal allows authors to include the interactive technologies as part of the manuscript for readers' direct access to the example technologies. These can include video, audio, animation and external links. In addition, an extended virtual dialogue is possible, as commentaries on published works are encouraged. Such dialogues have already taken place on subjects such as appropriate guidelines for use of technology in teacher education.
