EduPunk’s not dead?
http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/rowin/2008/07/04/edupunks-not-dead/However, it appears to be alive and well in Wales at least, where Pontydysgu will be hosting a live radio show on Monday night featuring the Manic Street Preachers of EduPunk (that’s Martin Weller, Mike Caulfield and Katherine ‘LibPunk’ Greenhill).
