Being about to use a social bookmarking system like Connotea gives researchers and teachers electronic means to connect to the resources that other teachers and scholars have found valuable in their work. These social bookmarks are proving to be extremely valuable in the productions of WebQuests for Inquiry-Based Teaching. No only can you return to bookmarked sites easily, you can get to your favorite sites on any computer that has web browser capabilities. Connotea excerpts were chosen as an artifact for NETS-T-3a because this system has allowed me to transfer all my web-based bibliographic references into annotated listings complete with “tag cloud” and “citation entry” information.
