Obligatory Sell-Out Edupunk Post

I've seen many similar posts, but Stein's has been recently added to the pile about the whole Edupunk movement/mission/vision/whatever. "My problems with "edupunk" have been ... I have a hard enough time converting faculty to use edtech as it is; a label like "edupunk" will only further alienate those faculty. And as John Krutsch suggested, "cliques suck, especially when you are on the outside"." But seeing value in the other side as well, "the DIY, question-authority aspect of edupunk is not only attractive to me, it resonates with my daily activities to an extent." It's a short post that likely sums up the feelings of many Ed-Techers, it's much more about a world view and much less about a new group to join. -BD
