Your challenge is really tough!
I still...Hi Dave! Your challenge is really tough! <br /><br />I still have no idea what all these Rhizomes are and what Rhizomatic Learning really is. Yeah I'm getting bits and pieces about it. But the bits and pieces are causing cognitive dissonance with things I'm studying right now. BUT I am pretty sure that they have a link and I have a sense that they're not far from each other. Or are you trying to say they're different? <br /><br />I will think about your follow up questions. It sounds so philosophical. But then again, there are a lot of questions about teaching and learning that has no definite answer.<br /><br />I will find a way to link these ideologies.

You have created a framework for answering my question, but maybe haven't made it all the way there. Students will independently use their learning to... what? How are we to know what they actually need to learn. <br /><br />Further... can you actually know what they know? <br /><br />These are the questions that led me to Rhizomatic learning in the first place. I never know what someone is going to know before they get to my class. I don't know what might help them get further along the path until i meet them (and often not them). If we are actually student centred, how can we possibly decide what we are going to teach BEFORE we meet the students?<br />dave cormierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08373857608287753814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645676985337241348.post-67518714088254245102014-01-24T03:16:40.612-08:002014-01-24T03:16:40.612-08:00I was struck by a lot of what you wrote, and when ...I was struck by a lot of what you wrote, and when you were mentioning your dislike of the exam part of learning, I was thinking: "I know. Just think about the little kids now being stuck with hours of standardized testing." In some ways, exams never really bothered me. I still found ways to be creative and be thoughtful (even if it was doodling in the margins).<br />Nurturing independent thinkers should be easy, right? We give support and let them go. But that has become almost in contrast to the ways that frame our teaching practice -- you will do this in this way in this time frame.<br />As a teacher, I struggle with this. I appreciate the post, and the difficulties you are having in juggling the academic environment and expectations with your own interests and curiosity (#rhizo14 and more)<br />Good luck on your journey.<br />KevinDogtraxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16079631702744063837noreply@blogger.com
