Dear LaTeX and TeX Users,


Since its first edition in 2005, the PracTeX Journal has presented
a wide range of articles on the practical use of LaTeX and TeX.
Among these articles are ones that describe tools and techniques
that can be used in teaching.

The PracTeX Journal 2010-1 issue has the theme "LaTeX Academic Work Bench".

The goal of this issue is to present ideas on the use of LaTeX tools
for education, teaching, and classroom purposes.  We are looking for
articles that can discuss the development of the tools, and their use 
and effectiveness.  Actual examples and LaTeX sources are encouraged.


** Scope
The scope of the issue includes, but is not limited to :
- tools that assist the students/authors in preparing
    graphics, indexes, bibliographies, and other parts of documents;
- text manipulation tools;
- tutorials;
- short videos;
- free or almost free tools;
- teaching texts;
- homework styles;
- cross-platform tools.

We encourage you to submit original papers describing your experiences
using LaTeX and TeX tools in an academic setting, and also papers
on tool development work in progress or completed.

** Submission Guidelines:
If you would like to submit an article or technical note for
publication please contact the editors pracjourn at tug.org.
We will work with you to prepare the article.  Also see
