Thanks for everyone for handling our transitions here,
as we kind of learn on the world's first DS-106 radio
conference.
So I am really excited for this session,
and we're going to be joined by Terry Green in his session
"Online Learning Could Never Hip Hop Like This."
Yeah, I'm very excited to listen in.
Terry, you want to kick us off?
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening,
wherever you are in the world.
Welcome to "Online Learning Could Never Hip Hop Like This,"
the show where we blend the beats of hip hop
with the rhythms of online learning innovation.
I'm your host, Terry Green, and today we're
diving deep into how the energy and creativity of hip hop
can inspire and transform the way we experience
online education.
Just like hip hop revolutionized the music scene
with its dynamic beats and lyrical prowess,
online learning is shaking up traditional education,
bringing fresh, exciting, and interactive experiences
right to your screen.
We're talking about breaking barriers, challenging norms,
and creating a learning environment that's
as engaging and impactful as your favorite hip hop track.
So get ready to explore how educators and learners alike
can remix the old school ways of teaching using technology
to create a flow that's truly revolutionary.
We'll be discussing some big ideas for innovation.
And in case you're worried, let me put your nerves to rest.
I will not attempt to rap at any point in the next hour.
You're welcome.
And speaking of beats that break the mold,
let's kick things off with a track that inspired
the spirit of this show.
Here's "Rock and Roll Could Never Hip Hop Like This"
by the incredible Handsome Boy Modeling School.
I think Taylor is in this band.
Turn up the volume and feel the vibe.

Dear Miss Bowers, spring is here,
and we are, as always, ready to serve.
Although you have not used your charge account for some time,
it is still at your service and provides a way
to purchase some of the new clothes you may need.
Our spring dresses, suits, and coats are beautiful,
and the values unusually good.

[END PLAYBACK]
Welcome back, everyone.
That was "Rock and Roll Could Never Hip Hop Like This"
by the Handsome Boy Modeling School, Prince Paul,
and Dan the Automator.
What a way to start the show, right?
Now, let's continue our discussion
on how online learning could learn a thing or two
from hip hop.
Hip hop is all about creativity, expression,
and breaking down boundaries.
It's a movement that brought beauty from the streets
and made art out of everyday struggles and triumphs.
So why can't learning be the same?
Why can't it be beautiful?
When was the last time you heard someone say
learning is beautiful?
We often think of learning as a chore,
something that we have to do rather than something
we want to do.
But just like a powerful hip hop track,
learning can be transformative, inspiring, and yes, beautiful.
Imagine an online learning experience that feels
more like a soulful beat, where every lesson is a lyric
that resonates with you, where the journey of gaining
knowledge is as exhilarating as dropping a fresh rhyme
on a hot track.
That's the kind of learning experience
we could be striving for.
Let's take a moment to reflect on this idea
while we listen to one of the most beautiful
hip hop songs of all time.
This next track is a masterpiece by the one and only
Miss Lauryn Hill.
Close your eyes, let the music wash over you,
and think about how learning, like music, can be beautiful.
Here's "Doo Wop," "That Thing," by Miss Lauryn Hill.
[MUSIC - MISS LAURYN HILL, "DOO WOP"]
My men and my women, don't forget about the day.
This is not the most it came.
It's about a thing.
Feel good, good, wave your hands in the air.
And the two shots and the after.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's been three weeks since you were looking for your friend.
The one you left hidden and never called you again.
Remember when he told you he was about to bend your man?
Like you ain't him, they give him a little trim to begin.
Now you think you really gonna pretend like you wasn't down
and you called him again.
Plus when you give it up so easy you ain't even fooling him.
If you did it then, then you probably would've been.
Talking out your neck saying you're a Christian.
A mudslab sleeping with the gin.
Now that was the sin that did Jezebel in.
Who you gonna tell when the repercussions spent?
Showing off your ass 'cause you thinking it's a trim, girlfriend.
Let me break it down for you again.
You know I only said it 'cause I'm truly genuine.
It's hard rock when you really are a gin, baby girl.
Respect is just a minimum.
And you still defending him now.
Girlfriend is only human.
Don't think I haven't been through the same predicament.
Let it sit inside your head like a million women in Philly pen.
And silly when girls sell their souls because it's sad.
Look at where you be at.
Hair weaves like Europeans.
Fake nails done by Koreans.
Come again.
Yo.
A win-win, come again.
A win-win, come again.
Yeah.
You know you better watch out.
Some girls, some girls are only about that thing, that thing,
that thing, that thing, that thing, that thing.
The second verse is dedicated to the man.
Concerned with his friends and his times and his women.
Come in the club like hooligans.
Don't care who they are.
You're fed up and young.
Let's not pretend.
Don't want to pack pissed out by your waist, man.
Crest out by the casement.
Still the name of the space.
It's a pretty face, man.
Claiming that they did a bid, man.
Need to take care of the three and four kids.
In the face and court case when the child supports late.
Money taking heartbreak and now you wonder why women hate me.
In a sleek and solid, man.
The punk master violence, man.
The quick to shoot the scene and stop acting like boys and be men.
How you going to win when you ain't right within?
How you going to win when you ain't right within?
Uh-uh, come again.
Yo, yo, come again.
Your friends ran, come again.
And sisters ran, come again.
Yo, yo, yo.
[VOCALIZING]
Girls, you know you better watch out.
Some guys, some guys are only all about that thing,

- Welcome back to Online Learning Could Never Hip Hop
Like This, where we're exploring how the dynamic world
of hip hop can inspire and transform online learning.
That was the timeless classic, Do What, That Thing
by the incredible Miss Lauryn Hill.
Such a beautiful track, right?
Now, let's dive into another important aspect of hip hop
and how it parallels the learning experience.
A hip hop song is more than just a collection
of beats and rhymes.
It's an opportunity and an environment for the MC
to capture the listener's attention.
The dope beats provide the perfect backdrop,
allowing the MC to make a lasting impression
and teach something meaningful.
In the world of online learning,
we need to create environments that are just
as engaging and compelling.
When learners are hooked by an engaging platform
or course design, they're more likely to absorb the material
and learn something valuable.
Just like how an MC uses the power of music
to reach their audience, educators can use the power
of engaging learning experiences to reach their students.
To illustrate this point, let's listen to a track
that perfectly embodies the role of an MC as a teacher.
The legendary DJ Scott LaRock lays down the beats,
providing the stage for KRS-One, The Teacher,
to drop some serious knowledge.
This is Boogie Down Productions with My Philosophy.
Pay close attention to the lyrics
and how KRS-One uses his platform to educate and inspire.

- You're back with Terry Green
on Online Learning Could Never Hip Hop Like This,
where we're exploring how the art of hip hop
can revolutionize the way we approach online education.
That was my philosophy by Boogie Down Productions
with KRS-One dropping some serious knowledge
over DJ Scott LAROCQUE's beats.
Now, let's talk about another brilliant aspect of hip hop,
its ability to curate samples from just about anywhere.
Hip hop producers are known for their creativity
and pulling sounds from not just old jazz and soul records,
which are amazing, but also disparate areas
like news radio clips, kung fu movies,
shout out to the Wu-Tang Clan, and even cartoons.
This blending of diverse elements
creates something entirely new and exciting.
Online learning can take a cue from this approach.
Imagine if we sampled ideas
from all forms of teaching and learning,
whether it's online, distance, face-to-face, or otherwise,
by being open to sharing
and integrating diverse methods and content,
we can create richer, more engaging learning experiences.
To showcase this concept,
we're going to listen to a track by the one and only MF Doom.
Known for his eclectic lyrics and flows
and genius production collabs,
Doom's soundscapes are as varied as they are compelling.
Let's dive into a track that exemplifies the beauty
of disparate samples coming together
to form something truly unique.
Let's hear MF Doom.
♪ So nasty that it's probably somewhat of a travesty ♪
♪ Having me, then he told the people ♪
♪ You can call me your majesty ♪
♪ Keep your battery charged ♪
♪ You know I won't stick, yo ♪
♪ And it's not his fault you kick slow ♪
♪ Should've let you trick, hold, chick, hold, just sick blow ♪
♪ Plus nobody couldn't do nothing once he let the brick go ♪
♪ And you know I know that's a bunch of snow ♪
♪ The beat is so butter ♪
♪ Peep the slow cutter as he utter the car flow ♪
♪ Don't talk about my mom, yo ♪
♪ Sometimes he rhyme quick ♪
♪ Sometimes he rhyme slow or vice versa ♪
♪ Whip up a slice of nice verse pie ♪
♪ Hit it on the first try, villain ♪
♪ The worst guy spot hot tracks ♪
♪ Like spot up here, fat asses ♪
♪ Shots of the scotch from out the square shot glasses ♪
♪ And he won't stop 'til he got the masses ♪
♪ Show 'em what they know not through flows of hot molasses ♪
♪ Do it like the robot to head spin to boogaloo ♪
♪ Took a few minutes to convince the average boogaloo ♪
♪ It's ugly, like look at you, it's a damn shame ♪
♪ Just remember all caps when you spell the man name ♪
♪ And you know it like a poet, like baby doll ♪
♪ I bet she tried to say she gave me her all ♪
♪ She played ball, all bets off ♪
♪ The villain got the dice rigged ♪
♪ And they say he accosted the man with the sliced wig ♪
♪ Allegedly the investigation is still ongoing ♪
♪ In this pesky nation he gots the best con flowing ♪
♪ The pot doubles, not able, he got troubles ♪
♪ Mad man never go like snot bubbles ♪
- Welcome back to Online Learning
Could Never Hip Hop Like This,
where we're mixing the beats of hip hop
with the rhythm of online learning innovation.
That was MF Doom showing us how disparate samples
can come together to create something
truly unique and compelling.
I like to keep in mind that while you use all caps
when you spell the man name,
on the other hand, you use no caps
when you spell bell hooks name, but I transgress.
Now let's shift gears and talk about making technology
work for us rather than the other way around.
In today's world, it's all too easy to get caught up
in doom scrolling and serving the algorithm
with every swipe and click.
But what if we took control of the technology instead?
This idea reminds me of a pivotal moment in hip hop history.
Back in 1972, 400 years ago, Grand Wizard Theodore
put his hands on the turntable
and invented the record scratch.
He bent the technology to his will,
creating a whole new way to make music.
In online learning, we have the power to do the same.
We can bend the learning management system or break it
and it ended to our needs or even bypass it
entirely, bringing in other elements
to craft a wholly original experience.
One group of artists who epitomized this approach
was De La Soul with their groundbreaking debut album,
"Three Feet High and Rising," produced by Prince Paul,
who is also in the handsome boy modeling school.
Just so you know, they didn't care
what the instruction manual said or what others told them
to do with the equipment that they were given access to.
They created something entirely new and amazing
by pushing the boundaries and experimenting.
So as we think about how we can take control
of our online learning environments,
let's listen to a track from that iconic album.
This is "The Magic Number" by De La Soul.
Enjoy and remember, the power to innovate is in your hands.
♪ Three, that's the magic number ♪
♪ It is, it's the magic number ♪
♪ Three, somewhere in this hip hop soul community ♪
♪ Was born three, made stuff and me ♪
♪ And that's the magic number ♪
♪ What does it all mean ♪
♪ Difficult preaching is possibly pleasure ♪
♪ Pleasure in preaching starts in the heart ♪
♪ Something that stimulates the music in a measure ♪
♪ Measure in the music, racing through parts ♪
♪ Casually see but don't do like the soul ♪
♪ 'Cause seeing and doing are actions for monkeys ♪
♪ Doing hip hop hustle, no rock and roll ♪
♪ Unless your name's Brewster 'cause Brewster's a punk ♪
♪ Three, parents let go 'cause it's magic in the air ♪
♪ Criticizing rap, so drew out a quarter ♪
♪ Stop looking, listen to the phrasing for the stairs ♪
♪ And don't get offended ♪
♪ While Mase Dosey knows your daughter ♪
♪ A tri-camera roll system is now set ♪
♪ Flyer up, stored under days of production ♪
♪ It stands for the inner sound y'all and y'all can bet ♪
♪ That the action not a trick but show me the performance ♪
♪ Everybody wants to be a DJ ♪
♪ Everybody wants to be an MC ♪
♪ But being speakers are the best ♪
♪ And you don't have to guess ♪
♪ De La Soul, Posse, 'cause it's the three ♪
♪ And that's the magic number ♪
♪ Three, this is a piece of the pie ♪
♪ Not concerned for the cost that we're dine ♪
♪ And three out of every dime time ♪
♪ The effect is, mmm, when a daisy goes in the mine ♪
♪ Showing true position ♪
♪ This here piece is kissing the part of the pie ♪
♪ That's missing where that negative number ♪

- You're tuned in to online learning
could never hip hop like this,
where we explore how the dynamic energy of hip hop
can inspire revolutionary online learning experiences.
That was "The Magic Number" by De La Soul.
A perfect example of how bending the rules
and pushing boundaries can lead to something amazing.
Now, here's a key message for all of you listening.
Anyone can do this.
You do not need to be from one of New York's five boroughs
to make banging hip hop,
and you certainly don't need to be an e-learning designer
to create some banging online learning experiences.
Innovation and creativity are universal
and anyone can harness them.
This brings us to some Canadian content
I'm excited to share.
Nova Scotian rapper, Richard Turfry,
better known as Buck 65,
has been a legendary figure in hip hop for decades.
His work is a reminder that beautiful, impactful hip hop
and by extension, online learning can come from anywhere,
even Nova Scotia.
So let's listen to a track that's not only a testament
to this, but also a personal favorite in my household.
Here's "Paper Airplanes" by Buck 65,
featuring the wonderful Jen Grant.
This one's for Katie.
Enjoy the beauty of this tune
and remember everyone can create something incredible.

- Welcome back to Online Learning,
Could Never Hip Hop Like This,
where we blend the beats of hip hop
with the innovation of online education.
That was Paper Airplanes by Buck 65, featuring Jen Grant.
A beautiful track and a reminder
that creativity knows no bounds.
Now, let's talk about the power of collaboration.
In both hip hop and online learning,
deep collaboration can lead to extraordinary results.
No group in hip hop personifies collaboration
quite like the almighty Wu-Tang Clan.
With central beat maker, The RZA, at the helm,
the Wu-Tang Clan consists of nine original MCs
who each bring their unique style to the table.
They support one another, push each other to new heights,
and together create something truly legendary.
In online learning projects,
we strive for the same level of collaboration,
bringing together subject matter experts,
technologists, and instructional designers
to allow us to craft better experiences for learners.
Each stakeholder brings their best,
contributing to a richer, more effective learning environment.
And I'm just realizing I forgot to mention
the almighty multimedia designers that are helping you out.
To illustrate this point, let's listen to a track
that kicked off the legend of the Wu-Tang Clan,
featuring all nine original MCs in under five minutes.
Here's Protect Ya Neck by the Wu-Tang Clan.
Enjoy and feel the power of collaboration.
