Study with Wikipedia Spoken Project

Monday August 14, 2006
The Wikipedia Spoken Project (off-site link) is a great way to get information on the go. Volunteers have donated their time to read and record entire Wikipedia articles in audio format. You can already download dozens of articles such as "First Amendment to the US Constitution" and "Hubble Space Telescope" to listen to while you're in your car or jogging with your iPod. And more articles are on the way. The next time you have an upcoming test, see if there's a Spoken Wikipedia mp3 about your topic. If not, you may just want to record one yourself.
