For anyone interested in rhizomatic learning, as discussed in my earlier blog posts (here<\/a><\/span>, and here<\/a>)<\/span><\/span>, <\/span>you might also be interested in the following.<\/span><\/p>\n

I recently came across<\/span> this glossary entry for “rhizome,”<\/a><\/span> via a tweet by<\/span> George (@reticulatrix)<\/a><\/span>. It is from a Theories of Media<\/span> Keywords glossary<\/a><\/span>, which appears to have been created by students in a course from 2004.<\/span> I found this discussion of rhizomes extremely clear and grounded in theory. Especially helpful is the contrast between rhizomatic models and “tree” models.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, through a comment on one of my blog posts, I found this blog, by Keith Hamon, called<\/span> Communications and Society<\/a><\/span>. It’s subtitled, “A blog to support Keith Hamon’s explorations of the rhizome,” and there are many, many posts there about rhizomatic learning. <\/span>He discusses numerous theorists whose views are relevant to this topic.<\/span> I plan to spend some serious time exploring <\/span>Keith’s posts.<\/span> He has continued<\/span> the conversation started on my blog over at his<\/a><\/span>, and he recently joined etmooc<\/a><\/span>. I look forward to learning more with him!<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally (though this does not exhaust the resources out there, I’m sure), I found<\/span> this article<\/a><\/span> by<\/span> Tanya Sasser<\/a><\/span> over at<\/span> Hybrid Pedagogy<\/a><\/span>. In this article, entitled “Bring Your Own Disruption: Rhizomatic Learning in the Composition Class,” Sasser argues for a rhizomatic learning approach to first year composition courses. <\/span>It’s a good example of how to apply rhizomatic learning to a writing course.<\/span> I have to think about it more carefully, but I plan to comment on this article soon. I am in agreement with the basic idea, but still am a little hesitant. Probably that’s because I’ve been fully immersed in, and convinced by, the idea of using rubrics and step-by-step learning for teaching writing. Still, I’m questioning at least the rubrics part–see<\/span> this post<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Do you have any other rhizomatic learning resources you’d like to share? Please post them in the comments!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
