EDUPUNK Battle Royale, Part 4

To steal from the title of the Samuel Beckett reader: “I can’t go on, I’ll go on.”

The EdTech Survivalists are heading to SXSW

Well, it all got confirmed today, Tom Woodward and I will be traveling together to SXSW. The trip is made possible thanks to Dave Lester’s panel on EDUPUNK that I will take part in, along with Barbara Ganley, Gardner Campbell, and Stephen Downes. I’m really excited for this talk, if not a bit nervous.
But I [...]

EDUPUNK Battle Royale, Part 3

EDUPUNK Battle Royale, Part 3
The third installation of this video takes us deeper into the questions surrounding leadership. This is an issue that hits close to home for both Gardner and I, and it may seem to move away from the logic of EDUPUNK for some—but in many ways [...]

Wonder Twins activate, form of “Write To Reply”

I had played with BuddyPress about six months ago on the recommendations of Andre Malan, and while it wasn’t [...]

Twitter Country

Randy Thornton, proprietor of the Metamedia blog, rocks! He recently wrote and performed his own song about Twitter called “Still tweeting 4U”. I love this kinda stuff—this is who we are, damn it! It may be a country song, but it’s all EDUPUNK in my mind: have fun, create, innovate, do. And when you bring [...]

Duty Now for the Future

I got it Tom, thank you very much!

John McCain’s a broken down crane

I love this punk song, which is an original composition and performance by one very cool nine year old.

I have to say it, Kirby is a DIY godhead, so very, very EDUPUNK!
