JTATE is the official journal of the Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education (SITE).

With this special issue, we are interested in how technology can support efforts to make practice of skills embedded in teaching practices a focus in university-based teacher education.

This special issue is open to a range of manuscripts including those that:

• Explicate and illustrate the design and purposes involved in  creating and/or curating digital video or audio files, using cartoon characters to make storyboards, and animating images made with cartoon characters for use in practice-based teacher education.

• Assess learning/thinking of teacher candidates or inservice teachers in the context of a technological environment aimed at supporting examination of their practice of skills embedded in specific teaching practices. 

• Examine how technology can support teacher educators in cross-institutional collaboration focused on practice-based teacher education.
