  • being a lifelong learner is something you just have to take on personally;
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 28 Jan 14
       
      Part of me disagrees vwehemently with this and part not so much. The disagree part says that lifelong learner is baked into the DNA. You don't have to take in 'on' because it is already 'in'. Another part of me says that we can devise algorithms for pursuing our own curiosity, we can take that task on personally.

      Messy is the space between order and chaos. It is the interval where stuff gets done, usually where friction and energy and all things physical happen.
  • independence isn’t the only stance to learning that they need – what about dependence and interdependence?
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 28 Jan 14
       
      enforced dependence, interdependence, and independence really puts the wind in my sails, but I am pretty sure I am not a good enough sailor to pull out all the sails. Add sail! That really shivers me timbers.

  • “taking responsibility” doesn’t come naturally
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 28 Jan 14
       
      Perhaps it is repressed in traditional formal learning situations or it just doesn't make good, strategic sense to most learners where they are situated.
  • To permit “responsibility” and enable learners to assert their independence, it seems to me (and to a few others) that schools, or any formal learning context, would do well to not only encourage learners to pursue their passion, but to honour their unique experiences and to give them voice.

      I might also add that we invite as well. Permission may be necessary as a pump primer but invitation is the force that drives the water up and out. If you think of it in terms of artesian wells then you have to admit that for most of us you have to drill down for the water. The springs are fewer and may often only be a little weep of water that has to be dammed up a bit in order to drink from it.
  • “we conflate learning and schooling”
    • Terry Elliott

      And its specific corollary: we conflate learning with teaching.
  • it’s not about seeing learning more clearly
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 28 Jan 14
       
      I tried to talk about this when I referenced James Scott's binary of legible/illegible. Like the quants on Wall Street and in the Department of Education, clarification entails filtering out the fines of complexity. Sometimes this is good--penicillin, for example. But it can lead to unintended consequences--a wider resistance to all antibiotics. Seeing more clearly often has to come from sitting in the vortex and waiting. The water might clear of its own accord.

    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.

  • Uncertainty exists in all forms of education and learning. It is not mostly celebrated. In fact, it is suppressed.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 02 Feb 14
       
      Yes, this is exactly the point James Scott makes when he creates the binary of legible/illegible where the suppression of uncertainty is the definition of legibility.
  • It is even systematically constrained in other (non-traditional) environments, even informal ones at most times.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 02 Feb 14
       
      I think you are pointing to the embodied and cognitive biases that are part of being a human being?
  • Not all certainties may be “good” or “appropriate”.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 02 Feb 14
       
      I am thinking here of Nicolas Taleb's ultimate uncertainty, the unknown unknown, the Black Swan. I think that most suppression of uncertainty arises from the futile attempt to quell Black Swans and their evolutionary disruption.

  • democratizing uncertainty
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 02 Feb 14
       
      Is democratizing uncertainty like trying to formalize the informal?
  • We shall also need to “prove” in many ways, that more “good” uncertainty in the system will impact social outcomes positively.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 02 Feb 14
       
      Seems like predictability is worming its way into your discussion of uncertainty. Uncertainty is largely complex and unmanageable. Should we be focusing more on the processes and products that emerge from uncertainty? I don't think we can do a whole lot more than that, but I am certainly open to being informed more on this.

    Stephen Downes' comments in OLDaily, Feb. 7 Is books making us stupid? behind the curtain of #rhizo14 Dave Cormier, Dave's Educational Blog, February 6, 2014 This post actually provides a good overview of the first few weeks of the Rhizomatic Learning course, exploring as it does a set of "challenges" posed by Dave Cormier: Cheating as learning Enforcing independence Embracing uncertainty Is books making us stupid I can certainly be frustrated by some of this sort of discussion - when people express concerns, for example, about "enforcing independence" my reaction is that they just don't know what those words mean. And in another post I've raised some questions about some of the more nebulous aspects of this approach to learning. But I see value in these discussions. And questioning the authority of the book is certainly something I support.

  • don’t throw out your books
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 06 Feb 14
       
      Perhaps it is not the books themselves but the power we grant them just because they are books. There are lots of reasons why we did this: they were the best technology available for carrying information, they are the tools of power for status quo and revolutionary alike, they have are now the traditional, default method. Yet we are at the beginning of an age which has other methods that are even more ubiquitous. The mobile device is becoming preeminent because it not only carries words but also images, moving and static, and sounds, ours and others. It is immediate and easily reproducible.
  • Are we going to ignore or throw away our books and so throw away our history? Doesn’t our past inform our present and future?
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 06 Feb 14
       
      No, we are not going to do that, however we are going to put them in their place. To situate them in the power context, into their new community alongside images and sounds and the digital hierarchy of tools.

  • he traces how the left hemisphere has grabbed more than its fair share of power
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 06 Feb 14
       
      Yes and what has been the instrument of that power grab--books. Cormier's distrust comes from the valorization of yet another master of the holist part of our mind. Books are colonizers aren't they?
  • We need books, but we also need to engage with them critically. We need text, but we also need to be able to see its limitations. We need abstraction, but we also need embodied learning. We need to exercise both the left and right hemispheres of our brains.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 06 Feb 14
       
      I say give books the comeuppance they deserve. Who is the boss of the mind? Mine is reactionary sloganeering here, so let me be less molotov. I, meaning my whole self, am the boss, the master. I am weary of being told and of accepting as writ (holy irony that) that the written word is supreme. I find myself revolting (please no Henny Youngman jokes) against words by my frail attempts to use tools that are decidedly not books--zeega, vine, photography, video, soundcloud, augmented reality--to wrestle control from literacy and return to orality.

      On your side Scott would agree that it is not books who are at fault. Please let us not shoot the messenger. It is our use of books and our abdication to their organization, to their legibility that is our downfall.
  • Vanessa Vaile on 10 Feb 14
     
    Reader Response theory comes to mind here too. I see where this is both coming from and headed but my own attitude is, like anyone else's, still very much influenced by my personal reading history. I was an only child and, in a time when families moved much less than now, we moved often because of my father's work with a geophysical crew. I didn't spend entire school year in one place or even the same state until the 5th grade -- did not fall behind because my mother taught me to read early and my father made maths fun with cards, dice and dominoes. Add that all that up -- books spoke to me, were my family and friends. FYI Terry, my father was a storyteller and master punster
