Well, well, Wired Magazine has published an official definition. So does that mean the term is passé? They define it as:
“Edupunk n. Avoiding mainstream teaching tools like Powerpoint and Blackboard, edupunks bring the rebellious attitude and DIY ethos of ’70s bands like the Clash to the classroom.”
I wonder why reactionary mode is always required. How about a term for happy coexistence of the big (bad?) corporate LMS and the more freewheeling PLE? Let’s hear it for a creative reconciliation of both the outdated individualist and the mass drones. Time for a new model.
