SXSW Zombie/Edupunk Interview #2 from Tom Woodward on Vimeo.
I’m thrilled to see the great Tom Woodward is uploading the interviews he did with random folks at SXSW about EDUPUNK and zombies. They’re a blast, and it’s awesome to finally see them. It’s also refreshing to see that no one at the EDUPUNK SXSW panel actually [...]

Wonder Twins activate, form of “Write To Reply”
Published by February 27th, 2009 in edupunk. 6 CommentsI just wanted to applaud Tony Hirst and Joss Winn for the amazing work they are doing with Write to Reply. These two British cats did nothing short of re-imagine the possibilities for an open, accessible discourse around documents that are made available for public review.
