Challenge: Exploring the Growth Mindset

I decided to watch another video based on Growth Mindset. I chose to watch a video called "The surprising habits of Original Thinkers" by Adam Grant on TED. 
"Original Thinkers" video on YouTube

When I was watching the video, I already knew what a procrastinators is like since I watched a TED talk about the mind of a procrastinator. Since I knew about procrastinators, I just thought that there was and wasn't one. I didn't think there would be an original thinker. A person who is between pre-crastinators and procrastinators.

 I am curious of what it is like to be an original thinker and I would like to use this blog or one of the assignments I am going to do for this semester to teach or learn how to be an original thinker. In order to act on it, I am going to write as much as I can on my assignments ideas and if I have any doubts of failing and being embarrassed. Even if I feel like the idea is stupid or not going to work, I am going to test it out until I am confident about it and I'm not just finishing it because I have something for the assignment.

Multimedia Project Presentation

Today we presented our game 'Tiny Farm' to our year and we got the chance to look at all the other game that was made for this module. The first game I saw was Rob's game 'Monster Flip'. His game was a puzzle game, it has three different levels. when you click on one of the puzzle pieces it will rotate. You have to click the piece until it is in the right position. After you finished the level you can go back to the menu page and click on the next level. I like that the game is for kids who have autism. I enjoy playing this game because it was simple and easy to play. The next game I saw was Darragh's game 'Alien Twine Game'. His game was a story adventure game. It tells a story and you get to choose which option you would like to pick. Each option will bring you to a certain route, it depends on what and which option you pick. I enjoy playing this game because it was fun and interesting to see where you will end up at the end of the story. Battle ...

Multimedia Project Research

This semester I will be in a small group project. As in for right now we only have 7 people in our group project.

We were thinking of making it in like an app where the children can play when they are on the tablet or phone because nowadays there's are kids with iPhone and iPad etc. so if they are on these devices watching youtube or playing games on it. They can play this learning game instead of going on youtube. It will be similar to Duolingo and Study Stack but it will be easy, simple and fun for the kids.

This literature review covers a wide variety of experiential learning, it will focus on the experiencing children/students has with learning. The following review of the literature confirms that these articles talk about the importance and what people can consider doing in the future. Evan Ortlieb  (2014), wrote about how experiential learning can have on students when learning in and out of the classroom. There's new experiential learning theory and it shows that there is a different paths learners take when learning. One of the main methods of learning is that we can learn from doing something. For decades, reading skills must be taught. Many were involves experiencing literature through hands-on and e-learning environments can promote reading. Students who are interested in literacy and using technology and experiential learning should be of central focus. François Fourcade and Nicolas Go  (2012), compared two different ways of experiential learning. This paper is fiv...
