Edupunk describes a do it yourself attitude toward teaching and learning practices. Writer Tom Kuntz described it as an approach to teaching that avoids mainstream tools like PowerPoint and Blackboard and instead brings the rebellious, do it yourself ethos of 1970s punk bands such as The Clash into the classroom. It is used broadly to describe many instructional applications built on that same do it yourself approach to education.
