Thanks,Terry. I think I feel the same – if it is a social phenomenon, I learn more by experiencing it than theorizing about it, though some people are great at doing both. Curriculum theory would have made no sense to me had i not experienced the different kinds myself. Btw, Dave somewhere or other says lots of intersections betw rhizomatic learning and constructivism and also connectivism but …will check that out to remember the differences he points out. I think sthg related to age of abundance of info and connectivity, and also messiness vs neat lines. I also think Keith Hamon’s recent blog post explaining why he sees rhizomes as metaphor not model is a good one. I also see rhizo as a way of describing what already happens in learning, not a theory to impose onto a learning environment, but a way to understand learning as it happens. And soooooo it is more useful to live it than talk about it (as i just did, very badly)
