Ineffable Essence of Nothing

Dean Groom expands on 'bubblegum edupunk' by discussing "the ineffable essence of nothing." He writes, "The urban dictionary is tough on bubblegum music, saying 'many bands use this style to make their music because it so effectively goes right to the top of the charts and gets them money'... Those who lecture others about technology, but themselves are almost invisible online... For some teachers, trying the impossible means allowing students to communicate in a forum. For others it will means teaching English in World of Warcraft. For students, every day is real. They don't get to choose. This is punk-mindedness. Repeating something without going somewhere new, just to look like Buck Rogers? … bubblegum ... Wilma Darling, I'm home!" It's a bit scattered, but I think readers will get the point.
