The Edupunk Revolution
vokle guerrila radio
A weekly update can be viewed on this embeded viewer (below). The same embeded viewer will be located on the class description at WizIQ. If you wish to fully participate simply click on the “Join Event” button. This live streaming event is still rather heavy for bandwidth. Within 4 months it will detect your bandwidth and reduce the video quality so that more people can attend. You will also be able to view a simplified recording after the event. Also note that for all Edupunk classes and events you can “back channel” by attaching the hashtag - #edupunk
The Vokle App.
This cool (and free) platform will allow us to conduct a one-to-many web broadcast. It has many of the same features as a full TV production studio. Unfortunately to participate as a live audience member you would need 1mbps (1000kbps) to “join” the meeting. However, to simply view it like a TV show, you need only go to any website or blog which has the embed. This becomes very similar to a streaming video from a site like Youtube. You will not be able to use the live chat feature or go “on camera” for a live interview but this would allow you to attend without the heavy bandwidth issues. Note that in the bottom right corner is a link to grab the embed code and place the live viewer anywhere you wish. This is nice because it allows you to put the viewer any where you wish to attract and serve your followers without requiring them to go to a new site. Here is a link to an introduction to Vokle: http://vimeo.com/13480020

Important note! In the bottom right corner of Vokle player is a “share” button. Buzz and WOM (word of mouth) is critical for our mutual success. Please use that sharing feature periodically (weekly?). If you really want to create a new way to connect and learn together, do this one thing. We desperately need people who will do a few little things, thanks.
PS Anything you find interesting at the Edupunk or on this blog is 100% usable and can be copied as you wish. You need not get permission or credit us (but it would be nice). The pics have been lifted from the internet and might belong to someone else though, so I cannot give permission for things I have punked (stolen).
PPS Please consider commenting wherever you see something that proves intersting. Participating in some form of conversation is the second step in socially responsible and supportive behavior. It usually only takes one more minute to agree or thank someone, think about it. Thanks again.
