.
             The Emergence of IT.
             In the early 1980's, ITTE was part of the general fields of educational technology and educational computing, and scholarship on ITTE was dispersed throughout the 50 or so journals dealing with some aspect of those disciplines. Journals such as the Journal of Research on Computing in Education, Computers in the Schools, and Educational Technology all published occasional papers on ITTE. At about the same time, this growing number of ITTE professionals found that existing conferences such as the National Educational Computing Conference (NECC), the American Educational Research Association (AERA), and the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) no longer met their professional needs. .
             The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) was the first organization to recognize the emerging needs of ITTE, establishing in 1983 a special interest group for teacher educators interested in the use of computers. That same year the special interest group published the Journal of Computing in Teacher Education, the first refereed quarterly journal dedicated to scholarly research and professional practice in ITTE. In 1990, the first national ITTE conference was sponsored (www.aace.org/conf/site/) by the organization later named the Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education (SITE). In addition, SITE began publishing the Journal of Technology and Teacher Education. .

They include the specialized journals, Journal of Computing in Teacher Education, Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, and Journal of Information Technology and Teacher Education, as well as the Technology and Teacher Education Annual, published by the Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (www.aace.org). In addition to the general journals on technology and education and the journals on ITTE, there are also a number of content specific journals (e.
