The Journal of the Research Center for Educational Technology (RCETJ) is seeking articles on using technology in social studies education for a special issue, edited by Alicia R. Crowe, to be published in the fall of 2012. Manuscripts to be considered for this special issue should focus on utilization of technology in preK-12 and pre-service social studies education. Articles may address issues of preK-12 and pre-service social studies classroom technology integration from research-based, practical, or theoretical perspectives at any levels of academic and institutional contexts. Priority will be given to manuscripts that are well-grounded in social studies education research literature and/or present novel research into the utilization of technology in social studies education.

The Journal of Social Studies Research (JSSR) editorial team is excited to announce some changes to JSSR. As you know, The Journal of Social Studies Research (JSSR) is an internationally recognized peer-reviewed journal designed to foster the dissemination of ideas and research findings related to the social studies. As the official publication of The International Society for the Social Studies (ISSS), the JSSR editorial team, review board, and ISSS advisory board are continually looking for ways to improve the journal for our readers and for the field of social studies education. For these reasons, we are pleased to announce that we will be expanding from our traditional two issues per year to four issues per year (winter, spring, summer, & fall).
