Abstract

The lack of a comprehensive research base underlying the new paradigm known as technology education is a common refrain in the profession. At the same time, much of the scholarship of our field is lost each year, simply because it has not systematically been archived in print. There are a host of reasons—some good, others not so good—why this is the case. Regardless, we now have an opportunity and an obligation to rescue this scholarship on behalf of the profession. To do so, we should take proactive measures right now to archive the important ideas of the field electronically. The technology and expertise are available, and this is a task worthy of our pursuit.
