EDUPUNK Battle Royale - Part 1
Edupunk, as defined by the New York Times, is "an approach to teaching that avoids mainstream tools like Powerpoint and Blackboard, and instead aims to bring the rebellious attitude and DIY ethos of 70s bands like the Clash to the classroom." The term was coined by Jim Groom, Instructional Technology Specialist at the University of Mary Washington. His friend and colleague is Gardner Campbell, Director of the Academy for Teaching and Learning at Baylor University. They dont agree on the metaphor and go head-to-head on the concept of Edupunk.

Jim Groom at Kansas State University: 2012
Edupunk Jim Groom discusses learning and technology. This special guest speaker was brought to K-State by Michael Wesch The educator who coined the term edupunk -- teaching and learning with a do-it-yourself attitude -- came to Kansas State University and discussed his use of digital tools to improve learning. "As a popular blogger, tweeter and speaker, Jim Groom is somewhere near the center of the vast network of thoughtful educators and technologists exploring and experimenting with new ways to leverage digital tools for learning in higher education," said Michael Wesch, associate professor of cultural anthropology. "Many people in the field simply call him 'The Reverend.'" Wesch brought Groom to K-State as part of his activities as the university's 2011-2012 Coffman chair for distinguished teaching scholars. "Jim has always been years ahead of the curve, and is one of the main reasons for the widely envied success of the University of Mary Washington blogging platform and the rich culture of learning and technology culture that is present on that campus," Wesch said. "Joe McMahon once said of him, perhaps only half jokingly, 'Generations from now, they won't call it the Internet anymore. They'll just say, "I logged on to the Jim Groom this morning.'"

News on the March - Target: Jim Groom
Sectionalism rocks the Oblivionite camp, as TA Jim Groom goes mad with power and banishes DS106ers en masse! The family Oblivion bickers while DS106 burns, and so clearly new leadership is needed. First martyr to the cause, after the Oblivions, is Araba, who was banished from DS106 after questioning Groom's seemingly absolute authority. So let it be noted in the annals of history that DS106 is hereby dissolved, its power over our minds illusory and its message of total student domination illegitimate. From the ashes of DS106 arises a new order, DS107, led by none, controlled by none, for the benefit of all who seek relief from the oppression of the TA. We are the true heirs to the legacy of Dr. Oblivion, and we declare before the world that our purpose is to depose the monster and see him displayed in chains for all to see! With that in mind, carry on the legacy of Dr. Oblivion with your radio and video assignments, as we wait in joyful hope for his return to us. With Oblivion on our side, we cannot fail. And to all enemies of DS107 - seek not to bar our way, for we shall win through, no matter the cost.
News on the March: Springtime for Jim Groom
We begin a new semester at the University of Mary Washington, and with it a new incarnation of DS 106. Apparently unsatisfied with last summer's successful totally online format, TA-turned-full-teacher Jim Groom appears to be taking a hybrid approach, demanding time of his students both on- and offline. This semester we have a new instructor in Alan Levine, better known as @cogdog, who will be teaching us DS 106 from another perspective, this one never before seen at Mary Washington. In other news, two students are working to document the proceedings of DS 106 in the classroom. The first of hopefully many such videos is available on YouTube, far beyond the reach of any potential censors. Remember that during your time at DS 106 you will be joined by many unofficial course takers: educators, tech-heads, former students and several other unsavory types. These people are here to enrich the course for you, providing constructive criticism, technical help and a sense of community from which you will inevitably benefit. This has been News on the March. Stay tuned throughout the semester for further updates.
Jim Groom Professes His Monstrosity
Jim Groom finally lets the ds106 and ds107 communities know the truth about the monster within himself and how he has no ability to control it. God help all of us in ds106 and ds107.
