2016 CITE Call for Manuscripts
CITE 2016 Geospatial Technology Special Issue
Journal home: http://www.citejournal.org/submit
Call for papers: http://bit.ly/CITEGeo
Guest editors of Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), Elizabeth Langran and Tom Baker, invite the submission of manuscripts reporting innovative uses and original research on the use of geospatial technology in teacher education (preservice, in-service, or in other professional development venues).
Geospatial technologies are an emerging family of tools with significant implications for preK-16 teaching. Geospatial technologies include geo-location devices (e.g., handheld GPS units and GPS-enabled mobile technologies), dynamic web maps and digital globes, analysis tools such as geographic information systems, remotely sensed data, and more. Standing alone, they can supplement instruction, such as integrating digital globes into science or social studies lessons or using educational geocaching. Geospatial technologies can also be used in conjunction with other instructional technologies and approaches. For example, digital storytelling and social media can be greatly enhanced with geotagged media and maps. Using location-aware digital cameras and cellphones, students can integrate latitude and longitude coordinates in the project’s metadata, display, or even analysis. All of these uses can create exciting new possibilities for teaching and learning as students analyze, create, and communicate their experiences in the world.
See CITE Journal’s About page for more information on the scope and aim of the CITE Journal. Manuscripts must address the intersection of geospatial technology and teacher education. Papers about research on geospatial technologies in K-12 classrooms should include a thorough discussion of the implications for teacher education. Manuscripts will be reviewed on a blind review basis, and should adhere to the Author Guidelines. The editors strongly encourage submissions related to geospatial technology in Science Education, Mathematics Education, Social Studies Education, English Education, and Educational Technology.
Potential authors may contact the issue editors with questions. Please upload complete manuscripts by October 15, 2015 at CITE Journal’s online submission site.
