Ask the FLN gives the opportunity for anyone interested in flipped learning to ask questions to the community and answer the community questions from the previous episode of the podcast. We currently plan to release episodes biweekly. Follow us on Twitter at @askthefln and view our site at http://podcasts.flippedlearning.org/askthefln/
This week Howard Rheingold joins Ken. Howard is an internet pioneer going back to the early 1980s and has written many books about his experiences and research. Last summer I had the privilege to participate in a online course with Howard and a wonderful group of co-learners. That course was titled “Augmented Collective Intelligence” and you can find the details at http://bit.ly/augmentcourse
Much of my preparation for shifting to fully online delivery of most of my courses in October 2019 are taken from that course with Howard and my interviews with Chris Gilliard, Sean Michael Morris and Jesse Stommel.
This episode was recorded on November 27, 2019.

Copied from Howard’s bio on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/howardrheingold :
I’ve written books about consciousness (Higher Creativity – 1984 and Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming – 1988), history of mind-amplifying technology (Tools for Thought – 1985 ), Virtual Reality (1991!), the birth of social media (The Virtual Community – 1993!), the social revolutions growing from the hybrid of mobile telephones, digital media, and the Internet (Smart Mobs – 2002!) and social media literacy (Net Smart — 2012). TED published my e-book about the psycho-social-technological facets of augmenting human intellect (Mind Amplifier — 2012) Note that two of my books, Tools for Thought and The Virtual Community, have been online for free since 1995. I gave a TED talk in 2005 about the need for an interdisciplinary understanding of cooperation — viewed more than a million times. Since that talk, I worked with Institute for the Future to provide resources for cooperation studies and have taught (six times) an online course on cooperation. I also created and facilitated online courses on mind amplifiers and thinking-knowledge tools. I taught (face to face) courses on digital journalism, social media literacies, and social media issues at Berkeley and Stanford for ten years. I instigated a community-created handbook for peer learning, published nearly 100 video interviews and blog posts about digital media and learning innovators, and helped organized a MOOC for connected educators. I’ve curated links publicly about my topics, and published interviews with curation experts. I’ve shared my paintings online since 1995. More recently, I’ve been making magical objects of paint and light, using wood, acrylics, and arduino-controlled LEDs. I was an extraterrestrial anthropologist on the streets of San Francisco in 1977, an investigative video documentary project I hope to continue in 2018. I’ve spent 30 years giving away my writing, facilitating online conversations, and sharing pointers to useful knowledge; now that I’m retired from teaching and writing books, a little income can help me create more ambitious works and further my learning of the crafts of woodworking and electronics. Thank you for supporting my ongoing journey!

We did not address any questions from the community but we welcome more questions to add to our program. When sending a question, comment or reply, please include the episode number in the subject and/or body of your message as well as any contact information such as Twitter handle that you would like us to include. We will include your name in the text and audio unless you request otherwise.
We record the podcast using a video call (earlier Google Hangouts, recently with Zoom) but never publish the video. I like seeing my guest as I believe it creates a better interview environment but we agree that the recording is only for audio.
Howard asked to share the video for his Patreon supporters so this one went public on my YouTube channel back in November. Let me know if you like this and perhaps we will do this for other guests.
The Flipped Learning Network is a not-for-profit organization and runs on a small budget. Our costs are indeed low (web hosting, some legal and financial fees and paying for the support of a wonder community manager Kelly Walsh) and we are run by volunteers. If you would like to support the FLN, please contact us via any of the following options:
I’ve been personally negligent in not pursuing an option to improve accessibility with transcripts of the show. I see the work that Bonni Stachowiak has done with her “Teaching in Higher Ed” podcast as well as the work of Deepak Shenoy on his podcast “Open Education Rising”. The trick here is cost and I don’t know the solution just yet. Producing about 90 minutes of podcasts per month would require about USD$100 per month. We would love to have a sponsor for that or perhaps link that as one of our goals on our Patreon Page.
We now have a stable crew of two podcast hosts on the network. I (Ken Bauer) will be hosting the bulk of the AskTheFLN episodes but we may have some other hosts popping in from time to time. Lately, Matthew Moore has been busy with his own podcast “The Teachers Lounge” which is also hosted here at the Flipped Learning Network. You should check out that podcast as well. I hope to personally keep a bi-weekly schedule going forward.
If you would like to join us as a guest on the podcast or would like to suggest someone to be a guest, please contact either Matthew or myself via Twitter.
I would also like to remind everyone that anyone contributing to the community that is the Flipped Learning Network actually *is* part of the Flipped Learning Network.

This week is a little different as Ken chats with Kate Baker about our experiences last week at FlipTech Latin America 2019 in Bogotá, Colombia.
I apologize for some audio issues. I have recently switched from using Google Hangouts to using Zoom for my recording and still working on my production chain. It seems that some of the audio was skipping out during the recording. That is combined with a change of my microphone setup. I need to get my setup improved here going forward.

My choice of quote from the conversation that particularly resonated with me.
On taking the students’ point of view of Flipped Learning in his research:
“And look at it from the student’s point of view. There is a lot of research (quantitative and qualitative) from the teacher’s perspectives and educators and higher education. But what there seems to be a lack of at the time of writing, what do the students think of flipped learning and what do they feel about the process, how much ownership do they feel over it?”

This week Ken chats with Bonni Stachowiak (@bonni208 on Twitter). Bonni is an educator, blogger and a podcaster who has been a great influence on my own work.
A long time ago, Bonni asked me to be a guest on her podcast for episode 114 which was publish in August of 2016 with the episode title of “Engage the Heart and Mind Through the Connected Classroom“.
We talk about this during the episode but I also met Bonni in person at OpenEd 2017 in Anaheim, California and if we are lucky we should be meeting up again at another conference.

My choice of quote from the conversation that particularly resonated with me.
On teach and learning being messy in reference to her episode 262 of the Teaching in Higher Ed Podcast with Peggy Stevenson:
“We mess, no it doesn’t always go like she means it to go. It’s messy and I think sometimes people can make it look too easy. It was so nice to hear like ‘Oh, it messes up for her? Not going as perfectly as it sounds’ ”
There is much more to that quote which at about 28:10 into the episode.

This week Ken chats with Jesse Stommel (@Jessifer on Twitter). Jesse is the other co-founder of the Digital Pedagogy Lab (Sean was on the previous episode).
I met Jesse in circumstances similar to our last guest, initially through my work with Virtually Connecting for Digital Pedagogy Lab workshops, his prolific blogging and tweeting and was finally able to meet him in person at the 2016 edition of the OpenEd Conference. Jesse is one of my key mentors in my work on #ungrading or #abolishgrading and it is difficult for me to express how happy I was that he joined me on this podcast episode.
Extra fun, Jesse requested to leave the interruption of a phone ringing and my asking my son to answer the phone. Then interruptions by both of my other children. Perfect attendance, so all of these stay in. Almost apologies but in a way I like to keep the conversation authentic.

My choice of quote from the conversation that particularly resonated with me.
On relationships:
“To me what it is: what kind of relationship do you want to create with your students? What is the best way for you in your discipline to create that relationship? The discipline isn’t the variable, the level isn’t the variable, the teacher isn’t the variable, the student isn’t the variable, all of those things are the variables. And so it is such a complex system that what works and what doesn’t work can’t be generalized.”
There is much more to that quote which starts at about 10:05 into the episode.

This week Ken chats with Sean Michael Morris (@slamteacher on Twitter). I met Sean initially through my work with Virtually Connecting for Digital Pedagogy Lab workshops and was very excited to meet him in person at the 2016 edition of the OpenEd Conference (more on that in the episode). Sean is truly an inspiration to many in the space of digital and critical pedagogy. I reached out for an episode a year ago but finally managed to approach Sean again to join me. I really enjoyed this conversation and hope that you do too.

My choice of quote from the conversation that particularly resonated with me.
On labels:
“When it [Flipped Learning] was first described to me I was like ‘Oh yes, that makes perfect sense. Why wouldn’t you do things like that?’ and then it became like ‘Flipped Learning Trademark’ and it became like the thing. And as soon as something becomes (and I’ve been asked this about the idea of critical instructional design too), as soon as it becomes this sort of like “ABCs of Flipped Learning”, then something has gone wrong. Because education should always be subject to our inspection and our imagination and we should always be reinventing what we are doing.”
There is much more to that quote which starts at about 13:47 into the episode.

Last semester I was pulling much of his work to include in my course titled Smart Citizens (originally Smart Cities and in the podcast recordingI was saying “Digital Citizens”).
We discuss his work and the bulk of the conversation was myself picking Chris’s brain and his many years of teaching online (over 20 years) to quiz him on how to connect with our students online. I will have my first experience later this year in a fully online mode of teaching at the Tecnológico de Monterrey.
I also have to state here that Chris’s laugh is wonderful! This was a really engaging conversation for myself and I thank him for his time recording this episode.

I’ve been personally negligent in not pursuing an option to improve accessibility with transcripts of the show. I see the work that Bonni Stachowiak has done with her “Teaching in Higher Ed” podcast as well as the work of Deepak Shenoy on his podcast “Open Education Rising”. The trick here is cost and I don’t know the solution just yet. Producing about 90 minutes of podcasts per month would require about USD$100 per month. We would love to have a sponsor for that or perhaps link that as one of our goals on our Patreon Page.
We now have a stable crew of two podcast hosts with Matthew Moore and myself Ken Bauer alternating episodes. Lately Matthew has been busy with his own podcast “The Teachers Lounge” which is also hosted here at the Flipped Learning Network. You should check out that podcast as well. I hope to personally keep a bi-weekly schedule going forward.
If you would like to join us as a guest on the podcast or would like to suggest someone to be a guest, please contact either Matthew or myself via Twitter.
I would also like to remind everyone that anyone contributing to the community that is the Flipped Learning Network actually *is* part of the Flipped Learning Network.

My choice of quotes from the conversation that particularly resonated with me.
On how we often as educators assume that our students are all connected and can access our LMS or other digital tools:
“The myth of access is much more powerful than the reality when we are talking about internet, in broadband, and even technology for like who has a smartphone and how to they use it and what´s it for.”
After my story of when I consumed all of my dataplan (downloading all episodes of Gettin’ Air using my plan) which led to my two week experience of what it is like to live without cellphone data and constantly in search of WiFi:
“Right, and that precarious position is something that lots of people find themselves in all the time. Often again, students are sharing their data plans with family members; lots of them don’t have tablets or laptops, so they are required to do everything on that device [cellphone].”
On whether our students really care about their privacy (a common phrase we see and here in writing):
“So, you’ve touched upon (and I am sure you probably did this intentionally) an exposed nerve. So yes they do. I can’t speak across the board but the idea that students don’t care about these things is a again a myth perpetuated by the people who want students not to care and want us not to care.”
“But the other thing is, that’s an easy out for some laziness and bad practices (or malice in some cases to be honest) on the part of teachers and administrators and institutions.”

My choice of quotes from the conversation that particularly resonated with me.
On filter bubbles and personalized search on social media:
“The huge challenge that we face (particularly the last three to four years) is that that content that we are accessing is more and more designed to be exactly what we want to see.”
On “algorithmic literacy” (nod to Dr. Beth Holland):
“It’s amazing how many adults (even in the United States and other countries) don’t even realize that the information that they see in their feed is tailored specifically to what that company wants them to see.”
