I like especially your comment that rhizomatic learning is “an ecosystem in which each person is spreading their own understanding with the pieces available in that ecosystem.” The problem with traditional education is that the teacher is the sole source of all the value within a class. In rhizomatic education, on the other hand, students bring as much, or more, of the value of a class, which in my experience, almost always makes for a richer class, a richer ecosystem.
