We live in exciting times. About 7 years ago (in the days of dialup internet) I gave a talk at a conference on teaching Slavonic languages and predicted that once broadband is more readily available, teaching languages online will be revolutionized because we will be able to exchange voice and eventually video which are essential to language learning.

Digital collaborative whiteboards seem to be the holy grail of educational and presentational services. But by and large, most offerings todate have been less than impressive. Dabbleboard has a lot going for it (primatily simplicity) but will be enough? Personally, I'm more excited about social software used for learning.
Edupunk against Blackboard, for eLearning 2.0, and what next?Submitted by Dominik Lukes on Wed, 04/06/2008 - 17:33.

A new term has made its way into the edu blogosphere (such as it is): edupunk. Coined by Jim Groom, it made its way to me via Martin Weller's blog who also shared the excellent Edupunk video (see below). Edupunk spoke eloquent volumes of its potential to me the second I scanned over the word my RSS reader - in fact it got me so excited I started a public Google Notebook with excerpts from the discussion. I believe that destructivism and contrariness are just as necessary parts of the debate as constructiveness and concilliation. So, edupunk is more than welcome on the scene. Let's hope it gets a bit more traction - the Wikipedia entry may help. Open Source gaining traction in e-learning marketsSubmitted by Dominik Lukes on Wed, 04/06/2008 - 11:05.
