..has no beginning or end; it is always in the middle, between things, interbeing, intermezzo. The tree is filiation, but the rhizome is alliance, uniquely alliance. The tree imposes the verb 'to be,' but the fabric of the rhizome is conjunction, 'and . . . and . . . and' (pp.24-25)
Break the rhizome anywhere and the only effect is that new connections will be grown. The rhizome models the unlimited potential for knowledge construction, because it has no fixed points…and no particular organization (p. 389).
..a tangle of tubers with no apparent beginning or end, constantly changes shape, and appears to be connected at every point with every other point (p. 389).
When I asked my son what he had been learning he said he’s learned how to work with
others, how to search, locate, and evaluate information, how to run an effective server,
how to explain an installation process of mods to others, how to anticipate a partner’s
play in a game, how to build a structure together, how to imagine a place and build it,
how to give and take ideas, how to make mistakes and fix them, how to build a design
based on someone’s idea, how to script, how to model, how to resolve problems when
they arise, how to use resources to guide building, how to make games inside of games,
how to make films and upload to YouTube, and how to narrow the focus of a film.
During this learning, the boys are also learning about one another: siblings, where they
live, currency, geography, food, politics, and all things Minecraft. My son is adamant that
this playing is not learning.
It's not like school, he tells me repeatedly. Sadly, I think he's right.
