Learning Complexity

As I wrote the last post, I had one of those nagging notions that I was leaving something out, that I had not quite said what I needed to sa...

So what happens to the field of writing if we start with the idea that writing is a function of complex networks? One of the first concepts ...

Okay, for the sake of discussion, let's just accept that my last post is correct and that a network view of knowledge is indeed part of ...

I started this post weeks ago, but life happened. I want to continue talking about defining Connectivism. So if we are to avoid a definition...

I keep thinking that I'm going to move from the middle of connectivism to start defining it, but then I think of something else to say, ...

I want to talk more about defining from the middle-out rather than from the out-in, as this change in vantage changes the relationship betwe...

So what does it mean to move to the middle? It seems to mean more than just a shift in point of view, but it is that as well. Indeed, it is ...

I said earlier that a definition is about the least that we can say about anything—teacups, for instance. This does not mean that we shouldn...

I said yesterday that a definition is about the least you can say about something. My wife and I had friends over today, and the talk turned...

This past Thursday night, I checked in on the CCK12 online session about one of my favorite topics: complexity. When George Siemens opened t...

Sometimes you follow a line of thought like a crack in the ice, excited to see where it goes but also wondering if all break-throughs are su...

I want to continue using comments from a discussion I've had with Frances Bell , mostly on Dave Cormier's blog. Let me note up front...

Yesterday, I tried to explain why I think that Connectivism may be guilty of focusing too much on the network and not enough on the individu...

In a recent exchange on Dave Cormier's post Embracing Uncertainty and the strange problem of habituation , Frances Bell challenged that ...

MOOCs such as CCK12 and Change11 almost by definition involve a lot of technology, and so questioning the use of technology in teaching migh...

I was watching a wonderful slideshare by Jurgen Appelo called Complexity versus Lean , when I came across one of those pithy quotes that pul...

In a recent post entitled Week 3: Rhizomatic or biological neuralogical network? , my colleague in CCK12 Matt Bury writes that he's ...

In a response to my previous post, fellow CCK12 MOOCer and blogger, Matt Bury, describes a number of techniques that he uses to build commu...

I'm finding it quite easy to frame most of what I do in my writing classes with rhizomatic/connectivist thinking. I work hard to connect...

So Deleuze and Guattari say that in the rhizome all points are connected to all other points, even unlike, heterogenous points, and that the...
