(As an aside, our recognition of this value is the reason why schools and organizations like the NCTE strongly support language-across-the-curriculum to be embedded in learning at all levels from pre-K to university.) And so, I do think that although "post-modern mash-up language" might be ambiguous, we need some kind of clarity for the sake of getting a message across. Without clarity of language, what is left? Answer: Mis-communication, if you ask me. Jabiz, you may have a point, but language is still the basis for all spoken and written communication.

Edupunk can and will mean different things to different people. That is okay. If it doesn't work for you leave it alone. Post-modern mash-up language may make this formula denotation + connotation = constructed meaning a bit more ambiguous as well.

I am taking to heart what you've said here: <blockquote>So keep doing it and call it what you like, but try and plaster your work in as many places as possible to it can inspire others and shake up the status quo.</blockquote> But I have to point out a strange contradiction here: <blockquote>I see Edupunk as a label for a brand of teaching</blockquote> and <blockquote>Don’t put the term in a box.</blockquote> Yes, language is ambiguous and fluid, but denotation + connotation = constructed meaning. So, what do you mean? ;) Thanks Jabiz. I am taking to heart what you’ve said here:

So keep doing it and call it what you like, but try and plaster your work in as many places as possible to it can inspire others and shake up the status quo.

But I have to point out a strange contradiction here:

I see Edupunk as a label for a brand of teaching

and

Don’t put the term in a box.

Yes, language is ambiguous and fluid, but denotation + connotation = constructed meaning. So, what do you mean? ;)

Don't put the term in a box. Like all words in can mean many things. Language is ambiguous and fluid. Hence the beauty of understanding and connection.
