Show Notes
This week Matthew Moore had the opportunity to sit down with Michael Ralph and Laurence Woodruff via Skype to join them on their podcast Two Pint PLC at twopintplc.com and be available from their site in the near future. Two Pint PLC is a podcast focused heavily on education research and informed opinions over a pint of a favorite beverage. I only hope they find my research more impressive than my unsweetened iced tea.
This episode of AskTheFLN is actually the audioblog version to a companion piece on our main site flippedlearning.org. Why post this as an ATFLN episode or why do audioblog components at all? I don’t always have time to sit and read blogs, let alone research, but I do have quite a bit of windshield time and would love to spend more of it listening to others in the flipped community. It literally takes only a few extra minutes of recording and Audacity work to add the audio element to any blog and if it strikes a chord with readers and listeners then the time is well spent. While maybe not as riveting as our interviews we do here at ATFLN, I hope you find this 15 minute listen worth your time as well.
Enjoy the show and we welcome feedback via comments, tweets to hosts and/or the AskTheFLN Twitter account or as a comment via iTunes.

Matt’s Take
I am almost edu-theory-phobic for reasons enumerated in this episode, but what I have absolutely come to love is meeting with passionate educators, regardless of their particular educational bent. This opportunity drove me to look at research regarding the myth of the digital native, but more importantly it drove me confront my bias against education research. Flipped learning brought me into a community that functioned well outside my comfort zone, and blogging, podcasting, etc. continues to stretch me in positive ways. I enjoyed my time with Michael and Laurence, but I have learned to enjoy the process of continual learning and collaboration.
