It's Open Access Week in some parts of the edublogosphere, and this item has a round-up of a few interesting items. See also Mohsen Saadatmand. One of the items motivated me to do a search for an #occupyeducation tag - and yes, there it was. Here's the Tumblr group. Oh yes, and Douglas Rushkoff: "'Occupy' is anything but a protest movement. That’s why it has been so hard for news agencies to express or even discern the 'demands' of the growing legions of Occupy participants around the nation, and even the world. Just like pretty much everyone else on the planet, occupiers may want many things to happen and other things to stop, but the occupation is not about making demands. They don’t want anything from you, and there is nothing you can do to make them stop. That’s what makes Occupy so very scary and so very promising. It is not a protest, but a prototype for a new way of living." As illustrated above. I visited the Occupy site in providence, and it looked like nothing other than our bar-camp educamp edupunk alternative forms of learning. Not a coincidence.
