As Editor-in-Chief of this international journal from its founding in 2006 to my retirement from that position at the end of 2015, I drafted an editorial introduction to each quarterly issue. This provided a venue for me to comment on the importance of each published article (from my perspective) and sometimes to offer my ideas or reflections on the field of collaborative educational technology or one of its central issues. The 39 introductions included here provide a glimpse into the evolution of the field during a key decade of its history, as it became internationally established with conferences around the world and with this journal.
