Growth Mindset

I haven't heard of Carol Dweck before, but I have heard about growth mindset. I learned about it in a class in secondary school. I'm not sure where I see myself on the spectrum of a growth-fixed mindset in terms of school work. I know I can be better or good at something if I tried but then I don't try because it seems hard  or boring to me.


While I've been at OU I have learned that most times I don't take a positive approach when trying to learn something, I also learned that if I make something competitive for myself I tend to find it easier to learn and interesting. Some of my biggest challenges when I try to learn new things is that I would take a lot of information and then I would think oh this is too hard or this is  boring. And this leads me to thinking that it would be quite daunting to give it a second try.


I am definitely interested in learning more about growth mindset this semester, I think learning more about it and applying to schoolwork and other aspects in my life, would really benefit me. .Yes, I have some personal learning goals this year. I really wouldn't say I'm excited for any classes, but when I start to do work from each module some will peak my interest. For now I'm not worried about any classes.

The game is based on The Marvel Comics superhero Spider-Man, its available on PlayStation 4 and 5.  Its my favorite game because its really interactive and the game has a lot detail which  brings the comic to life. I also like the game because it has my favorite fights and characters and it makes me reminisce about the times when I watched the tv show and when I read the comics.

Game Brainstorm

  My first game idea is a simple idea, it’s to make a game where you would have to throw rubbish in a recycling bin, and it would have instructions saying what can and can’t enter the bin and it won’t have a time limit. The objects would be thrown diagonally and horizontally and to get them in the bin you would have the swipe them towards the bin. There won’t be lives but if you get the wrong object in the bin your score will reset. Or there could be levels, and you would have to reach a certain number of points to get to the next level and the point count would go higher after each level you complete. There would be something like milestone achievements, for example you could get ten points then you would get a text come down from the top of the screen saying something like “well done you gotten piece of trash in the bin”.   And as you progress throughout the game it will get harder, for example if you have more than 10 points or you’re on level 5 the objects would st...
