By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • May 13th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

What would happen if the marginal cost of education were zero? It’s already happening with music and video online. That is just one of a few fascinating issues that were discussed at the Hacking Education event hosted by Union Square Ventures.

Idol Blogging – And then there were 3
