"Rhizome is a philosophical concept developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in their Capitalism and Schizophrenia (1972-1980) project. It is what Deleuze calls an "image of thought", based on the botanical rhizome, that apprehends multiplicities."
-
"In botany,[dendrology], a rhizome (from Ancient Greek: rhízōma "mass of roots",[1] from rhizóō "cause to strike root")[2] is a modified subterranean stem of a plant that is usually found underground, often sending out roots and shoots from its nodes. Rhizomes may also be referred to as creeping rootstalks or rootstocks."
-
"rhizome, in botany, horizontal, underground plant stem capable of producing the shoot and root systems of a new plant. This capability allows the parent plant to propagate vegetatively (asexually) and also enables a plant to perennate (survive an annual unfavourable season) underground. In some plants (e.g., water lilies, many ferns and forest herbs), the rhizome is the only stem of the plant. In such cases, only the leaves and flowers are readily visible."

Cross-fertilization from DL MOOC. Thx to James Kerr for sharing.
Powerful spoken word on the irony of assessment/grading.

So i’m basically trying to give people something they can work with… a strategy rather than content… that can get them ‘in the know’ so that they can participate in the community effectively.

some rules for writing and learning. Could be practical guide for rhizomatic teacing.

Yikes! Is that a tree on the Deeper Learning logo? See Lima's RSA on networked learning (rhizomatic metaphor) versus the tree metaphor https://diigo.com/01infg

new value of knowledge?
what we have long taken to be essential to the structure of knowledge: a foundation.
-
But we also know that we make ourselves stupid when we restrict ourselves to tolerating only the mildest disruptions of our comfort.”
“in this world of abundance, knowledge is not a library but a playlist tuned to our present interests. It is not eternally truthful content but subject matter good enough for our current task. It is not a realm but a path that gets us where we’re going.”
“educate our children from the earliest possible age about how to use the Net, how to evaluate knowledge claims, and how to love to difference.”
Now that the temple priests don’t control what we encounter” we need ”critical thinking skills more than ever”.
The barriers that remain are not our technology’s but our own.
facts have played as the foundation of knowledge.”

some of the activities start getting a little old, so I encourage my students to mess around with the rules once we’ve learned them and hack the activities as they see fit

Cathleen Nardi's Pinterest board for #rhizo14. Focus include links to posts and rhizome related links rather than primarily images of rhizomes (.e.g. rhizomes in nature). The page serves as a visual #rhizo14 aggregationI started a rhizome pinboard too but intend to focus more on images, including ones less course related one.

My head hurts after Week 1 of rhizo14. Just kidding. Enjoying wrapping my three pounds of neurons around the first week's question connecting learning and cheating.

from another blog, "places along the way"Rhizomatic connects here because a) it describes my social media network explorations, b) the interests they connect, and c) is another, possibly better, organizing metaphor for cities and urban space

about independence and self-responsibility.
Diversity has become a buzz word, an oversimplified ideal. We should instead embrace heterogeneity—the fact that people in the population at large, and within our own movements and communities, will invariably differ with regards to every possible trait. Heterogeneity is messy and complicated, but we must come to expect it.”
As educators, our job as I see it is to facilitate the self-responsible expression of those opinions and provide a safe space to allow them to change.

…first try with Diigo auto-blogging feature works nicely, even if format aesthetics leave something to be desired so I tidied up the format, added images, page break and a head note -- and with it, more value.. I'll try to "fix" next week by post a few images during the week , especially toward the end of it. The post is long so I need to come in Sunday morning to add a head note, page break, whatever...at least one image if the "fix" doesn't work

"Keith Hamon'" decalcomania is a process for transferring a pattern from one thing to another, and it describes quite accurately how we create meaning in our minds. In decalcomania, a surface with a potent image or medium is pressed against another surface. After the two surfaces are separated, self-similar images reside on both surfaces

The system of education will change, teachers should be change agents.
This might be the “role” of the teacher here – to make learners realize they are better off becoming more independent.
I don’t know how to foster this, or if it is possible.

because nothing essentially assessable or measurable needs to result from their learning
Even worse control because it becomes internalized,
“A” for “answering”
“A” for “answering”
these questions an “A” for “answering”
You could argue the system is flawed, its structures non-conducive to learning,

Really helpful post about the rhizome metaphor with outstanding RSA talk by Manuel Lima on networked learning. Encourages a new look at rhizomes and what might lead to diversity (you know they are clones). Bacteria?

Competency-Based Education appeals to me because it seems easier for the teacher to be the facilitator/guide if not also responsible for the assessing/grading. Can it lead to independent learning?

"This board is in support of the web essay incorporating ideas based on the Rhizome chapter in the book by Deleuze and Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus.

Thoughts about the #Rhizo14 MOOC Research Project?
INTRO BY MAHA: We can EACH have our own research agenda and work together to support each other in making it work for this course. This might mean four or five or ten different research questions led by different people, and supported by as many of us as are interested in the other's question. I see already we are on the path to a rhizomatic research approach that is not unidirectional and slightly chaotic but has such rich potential. This would hopefully result in different research projects and publications that each give a different perspective on rhizo14. A metaphor i like is "crystallization" - like a crystal, u can look at it and illuminate it from different angles and see totally different things. Would be beautiful to have this about #rhizo14.

@Cris2B If #DLMOOC metaphor is #tree & #rhizo14 is #rhizome…what happens if you combine them? #CelticTree

hat ‘fish out of water’ feeling that is the experience of so many non-traditional
students in the traditional classroom.
doing the MOOCs
really reinforced the need to bring the human back into the physical classroom.
role plays and simulations in
the trad ‘lecture’ time really helped this to happen.
the classes definitely FEEL
different
using creative techniques: drawing,
collage, poetry… to help us all to think differently
It all feels too slow and painful.
Anyway - once you have improved it a bit yourself
- print all of that off - and bring it to the class on Wednesday. We can give
you feedback and hopefully help you to the next step!

"Anyone interested in doing research about the different forms of community interaction and its effects on learning in #rhizo14? How would we go about that? (I assume it has been done for other cMOOCs but this could take a rhizomatic angle)."

Mooc research, antrhopology study on a mooc as a tribe: new roles in the tribe; communication patterns; language used, neologisms; subgroups in the tribe; central and peripheral places; roles, rules and what ever. Might be the first anthro research on moocs and online communities ever. Participatory research, living among the natives is a accepted qualitative research method.

Wow. This is a treasure, Vanessa. Lots of reading, deterritorializing, and reterritorializing here. Thanks. I think. :-)
