We are now into our second issue on the Internet and all is coming along
well. George Richarson, our Associate Editor and I are learning about
the ins and outs of Microsoft Front Page and how important technical
assistance is in such a production. We are fortunate to have received
interim funding from the University of Alberta's Faculty of Education.
This will allow us to seek a stable permanent financial base for the
journal. Our most sincere thanks to Dean Larry Bouchamp for his support
and confidence in Canadian Social Studies. We are aggressively seeking
the needed funding and any and all ideas are welcome. I can assure that
they will be followed-up. So what can our readers and editorial team
do to help us? Most importantly, publicize the journal. The more readers
who log-on with us the more clout we have with funding agencies and
potential supporters such as educational publishers. Use CSS with your
classes, submit the URL to teacher lists and teacher resource sites
that you know of, talk it up at conferences and inservice activities,
and note the URL on program forms and conference invitations. Anything
else that is lawful will also be appreciated. Remember, the quality
is high, the content is worthwhile, and the price is right. Three good
reasons to promote Canadian Social Studies. As the old saying goes:
"Keep the faith, baby!" 'cause we only have one national refereed
social studies journal.
In This Issue
Our theme is technology and our interest is in the classroom. Sue Gibson
has done a really fine job as Theme Editor for this issue. Sue has a
strong specialty in technology and has won an award for her outstanding
Internet site developed for her senior undergraduate social studies
course. I'm sure you will find the articles both interesting and informative.
