Educationbridges number 8 was a continuation of the wikispectacular of last week. A bunch of fabulous educators showed up and put themselves to work dealing with some of the core issues of the project. Who is the audience? Is it the wiki's job to please? How would templates be made? Listen in and join in the fun in the wiki; the project continues.

This show picks up in the middle of the conversation with John Mullaney, George Viebranz and Roy Norris. In part two of our discussion , we continued along the road of seeing what could be done to get a Wiki Textbook project actually started. What kinds of questions would we need to ask? Who would be involved? What are the core issues? What are the steps? All that and the now famous "what would you do if we gave you three million dollars?"
