iJohn's Links:

• Seth Odell's "Higher Ed Live" - http://higheredlive.com/ Higher Ed communications, student affairs, etc. A community of higher ed web professionals.
• Dan Benjamin's "Back to Work" w/ Merlin Mann - http://5by5.tv/b2w Dan Benjamin is, IMO, the biggest thing in podcasting since Leo Laporte's TWiT Network. http://twit.tv/
• Related: Merlin Mann's "Cranking" - http://www.43folders.com/2011/04/22/cranking  Not quite "edtech" related, but "Back to Work" is heavily focused on creativity, particularly writing, and how to scratch that itch of balancing work and creativity.
• http://ds106.us/ Radio. What is it? "It is a free form live streaming station that has been setup for this course, and it is being used as a platform to broadcast the work being created in the class, and a space for live broadcasts as well as for programming shows."
• Julia Fallon would kill me if I didn't mention Shifted Learning. http://www.shiftedlearning.org. Focus: ? :)

John Pederson joined Cindy Seibel and Lorna Costantini to finally do a follow up to his presentation at Edcuon 2.1. John had presented his Network Learning Manifesto and had included a parent voice as part of his presentation. The backchannel during that workshop and the show chat room from Monday night hosted the same exciting folks. It was a great discussion about how parents can fit in the learning process.
