EduPunk

Edupunk - refers to the "new" phenomon, where teachers and learners are using a DIY attitude to teaching and learning and not conforming to traditional tools and methodologies. Using such things as social software to aid education. This has really taken off over the last month (the term I am talking about here) - may be here to stay. For more information, Stephen Downes outlines it better than I ever could at http://www.downes.ca/cgi-bin/page.cgi?post=44760, or you could even check out the wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edupunk
