The document discusses the concept of "EduPunk" - an approach to teaching and learning that results from a do-it-yourself attitude using existing and emerging technologies in innovative ways. It is defined as a reaction against commercialization of education, symbolizing the do-it-yourself nature of educational technology where learners think for themselves instead of being told what to think. The document argues that education environments need to support individual learning needs using the web for communication and collaboration, and that learning and teaching should happen using technology rather than depending on it.
