Growth Mindset - learning Smarter

-

 One thing that the video confirmed for that I  already knew to be true was that your brain grows when "you get a question wrong or when you struggle".

One thing that I learned that I  didn't  know before  was  that if kids are praised for a certain topic they don't want a challenge afterwards and they don't like to work hard on something.

One new thing that I'm curious to explore is more of Dweck's research in relation to growth mindset in school. I plan on doing it by looking up her research on the internet.

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.
