I didn’t miss the Week 5 prompt, it’s just that I couldn’t stop my rhizo-head from spinning long enough to stabilize my thoughts. So this is what Dave said about rhizomatic learning: Rhizomatic plants are chaotic, aggressive and resilient. It models some of the qualities that can make a good learner.
