"Rhizomatic learning is a way of thinking about learning based on ideas described by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari in a thousand plateaus. A rhizome, sometimes called a creeping rootstalk, is a stem of a plant that sends out roots and shoots as it spreads. It is an image used by D&G to describe the way that ideas are multiple, interconnected and self-relicating. A rhizome has no beginning or end… like the learning process. I wrote my first article on the topic 'rhizomatic education: community as curriculum' in an article I wrote in 2008."

Super Felicia! This fits into what I'm already starting to think about with metacognition and leading a team of people at work. Some of the diagrams of metacognition suggest a hierarchical relationship. I like and relate to this metaphor of a rhizome.

Cool Rhoda. Been doing a lot thinking over the last week on peer learning networks. Interested to see what things you night come across.
