Edupunk !

Edupunk is education with a Punk DIY attitude. Edu-punkers are individuals who are taking a punky anti conformist approach to education through the internet. Edu-punkers are a variety of individuals but mostly younger ummm "college" aged kids. Their goal is to open up the world to a new educational approach that allows EVERYONE to learn. People of the edu-punk community take a non traditional approach to work and believe the academic models of hard work, discipline, and highly structured learning need to evolve. This can be done and encouraged through online learning and communal participtation. Edu- punkers encourage the development of the community through group participation. "If an individual’s idea of adventure and discovery could be formulated into a game or mutually agreed fun thing, it becomes a communal effort." Overall the heart of our group is in finding social activities that are mutually appreciated and fun, and aims to rekindle the fire of the discovery we once had a younger age.

Questions: I would like to know how the edu punk theory would be beneficial to children in early developing stages, as well as current baby boomers who are learning new technologies.
