About our Guest
Keith Hughes is an educator, youtuber and innovator in the field of technology and education. He graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Social Studies Education from Buffalo State College and obtained his Masters in Educational Technology from the University of Buffalo.
Keith taught U.S. History and Government and Advanced Placement American Government at McKinley High School in Buffalo, NY for 14 years before taking on the role of a district instructional technology coach in 2014. He was the lead instructor for UB’s City Voices, City Visions which trained over 300 educators in the art of digital storytelling and DV integration. Over the course of his teaching career he has delivered over 100 Professional Development workshops across the United States.
In 2007, Keith became one of the earliest adopters of the “flipped” class with the creation of HipHughes History on a new platform called YouTube. With over 500 video lectures spanning the Social Studies, current events and pedagogy, HipHughes History has amassed over 30 million views and hundreds of thousands of fans worldwide. In 2012 YouTube and Khan Academy named him, along with ten other educators from around the world, as a “Next Edu Guru”.
Keith has served as an adjunct professor of New Literacies at the Graduate School of Education at the University of Buffalo since 2008, teaching Digital Literacy, New Literacies and Technology and Advanced Methodologies in the Social Studies. He has also appeared on the History Channel’s “United Stuff of America”, “Presidential Transition of Power”, the Travel Channel’s, “Mystery at the Museum” and AHC’s “America’s Most Badass” as an on air expert. Keith has recently contributed to Pearson’s new Project Imagine U.S. History program as a video host for the topic modules and immersive activities.
When Keith isn’t engaging students and his fellow educators in person he can be found filming roller derby games, working on his website and tweeting out #teachertips on Twitter.

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.
