I mean, Wordpress was about a million times easier to install and get to grips with than any institutional elearning tool I've ever seen. Still, maybe it's the more the attitude that counts, and maybe the DIY is in the choosing and cobbling together. It does make me think about Bell's 'work stories', and the reminder that cyberspace doesn't come from nowhere. We are doing our punk stuff on top of infrastructures and commercial ventures which may not share our values. Maybe that makes it even more punk... or maybe Tony's got it right: http://digitalculture-ed.net/alip/2009/10/04/punk-teachers/#comments wow, I hadn’t heard ‘edupunk’ before – that’s… probably sort of ironic, given that most of the tools we edgy-cators (I don’t know – I just made it up) are using as alternatives to our VLEs are not exactly rough and ready… I mean, Wordpress was about a million times easier to install and get to grips with than any institutional elearning tool I’ve ever seen.
