You might recall some discussion here of “edupunk,” a term coined by our old friend Jim Groom to describe approaches to teaching and learning that eschew mainstream, proprietary teaching tools in favor of open source technologies and do-it-yourself approaches. The term was, as some of you may recall, one of the New York Times’ Buzzwords of 2008.

We give you, then, the first in a series of videos in which Jim and Gardner Campbell of Baylor University — a new friend whose deft facilitation at last year’s Symposium made a tremendous contribution — discuss of the ideas behind edupunk and consider the appropriateness of the punk metaphor for the sorts of things that the edupunk movement embraces, promotes, and celebrates. Enjoy. We’ll post new episodes as they become available.
