Any podcast that has artificial trees (pictured) in it has to be good right? We hope so. We’ve also got some other great stories. We hear from one history teacher who is exploring new ways to integrate technology into the classroom. We also talk about how your cell phone is linked to violence in Congo, and we hear from Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales about some new editing guidelines.
