    "Furthermore, a social bookmarking system allows users to share their bookmarks with others and even join groups of people with similar interests. (Bookmarks can also be kept private.) In a school setting it means colleagues can share academic websites easiiy and students can share subject websites. A defining aspect of social bookmarking is that it simplifies how we share information with each other, and makes it easier to retrieve resources."

    This article provides a case study of  how the CRCD framework shaped the  development of the "Day in the Life of  a Teenage Hobo Project," a multi-day  investigation into the social history of  teenage homelessness during the Great  Depression. Using the framework, Tom  Daccord, a former U.S. history teacher  and current academic technology specialist in Massachusetts, designed a  project that used multiple technologies- search engines, blogs, and podcasting  tools-to help students investigate the  political, economic, and social history  of the Great Depression.
