Our present technology facilitates the journal availability online to the public; only the
current volume is closed to members.

Book reviews on the theme: “Educators for a better world” and subthemes of the Brazil
seminar (No.1) -Anna, Peggy, Karen
Book reviews for the open issue – any issue on teacher education (No.2)
-Anna, Peggy, Karen
This issue (#2) will publish 1 or 2 articles from nonmembers
Editing -Sybil with help from Peggy and Karen
Put “Call for Submissions” on the website -Sybil -
General Discussion:
The improved technology is working well. Can we put a banner on the website to highlight
link to the journal that shouts, “here is the journal? ” Important to maintain the journal image
and the ISfTE logo.
If we change to an ejournal will need to find out from libraries and sponsors how they will
receive that, e.g. sponsors have their institution’s logo on the journal. How will that work
with an ejournal?
