pgeorge: Hi all
pgeorge: tell us Dave!! helps people who need to hear it more than once with multiple senses
pgeorge: is there another word you can substitute for rhizome when you explain it that isn't a whole story? it's a scary word!
pgeorge: I'm so glad someone saw my comment :-) I was feeling all alone.
pgeorge: hahahaha
blackspruce47: 140 characters! yay!
pgeorge: so you're really saying you can't train or teach them what they will need to know in the future but how they will learn it
pgeorge: the networked metaphor isn't a "should"
pgeorge: it's not like a checklist
pgeorge: great question Jeff!

pgeorge: good!
pgeorge: kindergartners don't have anyone telling them there is a box to think inside of (at least when they enter school). Then everything changes.

Gary: My daughter is currently a good example. Doing her MSc. in physics and has a supervisor that encourages not following what he wants. She learns as a result.
