In this episode I talk about how to use Wikipedia and personal wikis in your education. Our sponsor cause this week is an effort by a 13-year-old entrepreneur to help sick children enjoy their Winter holidays. I end with a follow-up to last week’s episode. Please leave comments or give me a call and leave a voice mail if you have questions, suggestions, or comments about the podcast.
