Technologies, Taxonomies, and Acronyms! Oh My: A MOOC-ish Taxonomy
Lately, I’ve been coming across a lot of posts regarding definition around the MOOCs. So I thought I would collect some of what I am seeing on the web and in my own personal network into a blog post. Recently, Fred Mud posted on the xMOOC, cMOOC, and the rMOOC. With the rMOOC being the rhizo MOOC citing Dave…

Lighten up already
I decided we needed some lightness on “She’s So Heavy”. It was a treat today when I got home and checked my mail. I found a fun little package marked Royal Mail. (Guess it must be from the queen bee) There was a nice card inside. With a skinny little hand knitted infinity rhizo…

Reflections on the start of #tomereaders: Disclaimer on a living artifact
Well, #tomereaders is set to “start” this week and I am feeling a little out of sorts. I mean what the heck was I thinking opening this thing up to the whole world? I’m not Dave Cormier or Jessie Stommel – I’m just some girl with a twitter account and a newly christened blog. What…

The Living Artifact: An Open Letter/Invitation/Call for Help to the #rhizo15 Community

Is Rhizomatic Learning an Invasive Species? You Bet Your Sweet Ass It Is: The Wild vs the Civilized; A Serious Response in 4 parts
Part 1 – introduction I get the impression that in some interactions around the Internet I have come off as being on the side of answering “No” to the question about if rhizomatic learning is invasive but please be assured that the jury is still out for me. I really am pretty agnostic in most…

The Posts that Could Have Been
So, I’m trying to get back on track with #rhizo15. I got thrown off a bit as I am currently in this whirlwind tour – I just got back to Columbus from Detroit via Cleveland today and I leave for Chicago tomorrow. I went to Detroit to visit my Mom for Mother’s Day the day…

Enough About Getting Rid of ‘dave’: Exploring Spontaneity and the Metaphor of the Gardener
I know that it is going to take me a few blog posts to get through week 4 of #rhizo15 – there are a lot of things going on with this prompt that I need to unpack. But I had to put out some initial thoughts. First off, just like during week 2 when Dave…

A Question Concerning the Interpretation of Content
