Group Size One Two Three Four. New Schemas for Mapping Pedagogies and Technologies', Ariadne Issue 56. In this article I want to reflect on the rhetoric of 'Web 2.0' and its potential versus actual impact.
I want to suggest that we need to do more than look at how social networking technologies are being used generally as an indicator of their potential impact on education, arguing instead that we need to rethink what are the fundamental characteristics of learning and then see how social networking can be harnessed to maximise these characteristics to best effect. I will further argue that the current complexity of the digital environment requires us to develop 'schema' or approaches to thinking about how we can best harness the benefits these new technologies confer. The Tension between Web 2.0 and Education So my primary interest is to focus on the educational aspects of new technologies and in particular what might be appropriate 'schema' for describing the ways in which technologies are being used.

Siemens on Connectivism. Rhizomatic Learning. For several years now, I have been considering how the rhizome might function as a metaphor for learning and a model for education. I tend to agree with Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari (2002) who in writing about the tree as the long standing metaphor for knowledge and learning said, “We’re tired of trees. We should stop believing in trees, roots, and radicles. They’ve made us suffer too much" (p. 15). In their stead, Deleuze and Guattari offer the rhizome.
Rhizome? Yes. You know rhizomes: think ginger. A month ago, my friend Jane, a professor at a Connecticut University posted this definition of rhizome: The rhizome is a tangle of tubers with no apparent beginning or end. So today as Scott Klepesch, Deb Gottsleben and I were visiting English teachers, Cathy Stutzman and Meg Donhauser and librarians Heather Hersey and Marci Zane from Hunterdon Central Regional High School (HCRHS) in NJ, I began to see what the rhizomatic classroom might resemble.
