About the Class

"The sum of all our answer is but this:
We would not seek a battle, as we are;
Nor, as we are, we say we will not shun it:
So tell your master."


Henry to Montjoy (Henry V)

The time for talking is over. We begin to take to the field.

Every Sunday at 9AM the recruiting office will be open at WizIQ. All who wish to join the battle are welcome. We will offer little at the beginning but hope for a new path. One not dictated by the old corrupt systems that have stolen our natural rights to enjoy the act of discovery and self-determination.

We are seeking students, entrepreneurs, edutainers, and even teachers if they can still laugh and dream. We hope to build a new online association that is sustainable with all parties being equal. Not givers and takers but a true network of all bringing value to our community. This is radical and different. We are building something new.

The ideas described in a series of articles HERE will give you an idea of our starting points. We do not have an organization. We have a desire to band together with like minded individuals. The future we hope for will be a financial model that is sustainable by all. There are no guarantees of income, that will depend on you and your dreams. But, this is not for those who only wish free classes. Nor will it be for those who only wish to take money from students. It will be something new.

There are three general categories of positions we will be filling. The Team Leaders (students who help other students), The Tweeners ( entrepreneurs who facilitate the business aspects) and The Producers (Edutainers who will create the majority of the consumable knowledge). Here is a blog about the general positions. CLICK HERE

Yes, this sounds fictional but we are in fact serious. If you are serious, then take the first step... JOIN and begin to help us build this new thing together.

Every Sunday 9AM New York time at WIZIQ

This class was so much of fun. I like it so much as George, as a leader, was trying to unite his army to be one team and starting this "Edupunk Movement".

Profile Summary

We do not need "them", we only need each other.

This group of pilgrims called "The Edupunk" are seeking a new paradigm for online learning. We hold to several core principals:
1. All can teach, all should teach
2. Mistakes and willing to risk mistakes are much prefered over the false goal of perfection.
3. Fun activities and gaming are not only more engaging, they are the key to a sustainable model for learning... anything.
4. Live interaction and group activities create the basis for deep and experiential learning.
5. Accountability and competition is the basis of our community. We build and only associate with leaders who can recognize that they and every member have knowledge to share.
