Show Notes

This week Ken chats with Terry Greene. We have collaborated together and met via Virtually Connecting a few years back.

I have had the pleasure to hang out with my fellow Canadian and Edmonton Oilers fan at the past three #OpenEd conferences (2016, 2017 and 2018).

This is a special edition of the podcast as it will also be released as an episode his of “Gettin’ Air” podcast. I have listened to every episode (yet, I am a completionist) and I highly recommend that you do too!

Terry is a leader in the Open Education community and I am so glad to collaborate with him. As Terry pointed out on Twitter: Some of the topics we cover include: hockey tacos @VConnecting @openedconf @ds106dc @ontarioextend @askthefln and all stops in between.

If you would like to support The Flipped Learning Network which is a not-for-profit, we have added a full selection below.

This episode was recorded on May 10, 2019.

About our Guest

Note: taken from a story at StoryEngine on Terry.
 
Terry Greene is a Program Manager at eCampusOntario, on secondment from Fleming College, where he is a Learning Technology Specialist. He holds a B.Ed. in Elementary Education from the University of Alberta and a M.Sc. in Instructional Design & Technology from the University of North Dakota. He is interested in both the cutting and trailing edges of uses for technology in education. Especially those that increase the human element in technology-enabled learning. Hint, hint, those are probably the more open ones.

The Flipped Learning Network is a not-for-profit organization and runs on a small budget.

Transcript

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.

Podcasters and Guests

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. We are a community and grow together by pooling our resources. See how you can contribute to this community through contributing blog posts, joining us on this podcast as well as participating in our Slack community.

Ken’s Take

My choice of quotes from the conversation that particularly resonated with me.

On engaging stakeholders:

“I think there is nothing more important than gaining trust. That can start with administrators, with your principal, that can start with parents.”

Part of the discussion of how to avoid reactions such as

“Oh, the kid needs to do all the learning at home now because they are watching the video”
