Abstract
This article reviews gateways to online resources specifically for preservice teacher educators. Gateways are Web sites where information about a particular topic, or set of topics, has been screened, annotated, organized, and linked. They help users find relevant and worthwhile resources with a minimum of effort and frustration. Even though there are differences among gateway sites, this article examines their common features as well as the pros and cons of using them.
