“If you’re discovering that your personal learning network is expanding wonderfully and unpredictably in an almost viny, plant-like manner, you’re already engaged in what Dave Cormier calls rhizomatic learning—a process of learning that mirrors the spreading of rhizomes so there is no center, just a wonderfully ever- expanding network of learning connections rooted in creation, collaboration, and the building of communities of learning.” Paul Signorelli, “#etmooc as an Example of Connected—Rhizomatic—Learning” http://bit.ly/14zVMAkImage via Microsoft Office Clip Gallery

“As a story forlearning, it is messy, unstable and uncertain…In a sense, participatingin the community is the curriculum.”Dave Cormier, “Trying to Write Rhizomatic Learning in 300 Words,” http://bit.ly/SeHseB

Explore: It’s not just about knowing how to find experts, co-learners, Tips but about exploration as invitation to serendipitous encounter. Search – Use tools to find pools of expertise in the fields that interest you. Follow candidates through RSS, Twitter. Ask yourself over days, weeks, whether each candidate merits continued attention. Tune your network continually, dropping people who don’t gain sufficiently high interest; adding new candidates. Feed the people you follow if you come across information that you suspect would interest them. Engage the people you follow. Be polite, mindful of making demands on their attention. Put work into dialogue if they welcome it. Thank them for sharing. Inquire of the people you follow, of the people who follow you.. Ask engaging questions – answers should be useful to others Respond to inquiries made to you.Source: Chuck Frey, “How to Cultivate a Personal Learning Network: Tips from Howard Rheingold”, http://bit.ly/A2lzDp
