Thoughts about Growth Mindset

I never heard of Carol Dweck or the Growth Mindset before and I learned that using the grade "Not Yet", you will understand that you're on a learning curve and loving challenges. There is two mindset, Fixed and Growth. A fixed mindset is scared to look dumb and is always wanting to looks smart. A growth mindset believes that intelligence can be developed through their effort, dedication, learning and mentorship.

Showing effort is a good thing because we can learn new things while showing your ability if you are trying. Learning your mistakes if a good thing, it helps you know what to do and what not to do next time if you even come across it again. Praising their effort and not their intelligence will make them what new and difficult challenges. You should value the process and not the intelligence, if you value their intelligence it would put them into a fixed mindset and if you value their process it would put them into a growth mindset.

Praising their intelligence would make them not wanting to learn more but if its their effort or process they are most likely want to take on new challenges where they can learn from their mistake. Fixed mindset would lose their confident when doing a hard question while Growth mindset would still be confident even if the questions are hard for them.

I am hoping I would learning and experience more about the growth mindset this semester. I personal hope that when I am doing my projects I would stay in a growth mindset and not a fixed mindset.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT ME My name is Nhu Thai. I am really shy but after you know me you will probably regret knowing me. I love meme, I mean who doesn't? I am the oldest and I have 2 annoying brothers and one told me to write that he's a good singer...he thinks he's Beyonce... The best module I took from last year was probably web development because I like doing the coding but I also hate it at the same time. I understood it because I took down notes and ask the lecturer and classmates for help. When I saw that web development was one of my highest grade I was shocked and happy. Career wise... I don’t really know exactly what I want to do. I would like to go and do something that involves media but I still don’t know if I want it for the long term yet. If I am doing it for the long term, I would like to go to graphic design or photography or website design. Over the summer, I went to Disneyland Paris again. I only went because my little cousins wanted to go and I thought i...

Final Draft

This blog post has all the annotated blogs I researched. It is the final literature paper for this semester game project. In case you missed my previous blog post, my game idea for this semester is to make a game for younger children in Primary School. Most likely going to be children from the age to 4 to 6. It's an interactive learning game. This game is about learning different subjects but in a fun and entertaining way. We got inspiration from Duolingo and Study Stack . The following annotated review will cover a wide variety of experiential learning that will focus on the experiencing children/students have with learning from school/home and social. Evan Ortlieb wrote about how experiential learning can have on students when learning in and out of the classroom. One of the main methods of learning is that we can learn from doing something, learning from our mistakes. Students who are interested in literacy and using technology and experiential learning should be a central...

MD2Final GDD

For the next few weeks, I would like to have most of the cartoon drawing for the game and that most of them are on the Adobe Animate with the game coded up. The last few days I have been looking at videos of how to get the game to go to one scene to another. When I couldn't get it to go one scene to another, I got it to go to one frame to another. The video GDD below and last week post talks about what we want for our Multimedia 2 game project. What we add to the GDD was how the game level will progressively get harder each time the player passes a level. We also add in the colour palette and the illustration we have for the game. We will have a group meeting and working together every Wednesday and Thursday. If we can't do that we have a group chat, most of our decisions were made through this. Game Flow Chart;
