Why our Growth Mindset is so important

Fixed vs Growth Mindset

Growth mindset Pinterest

 Unfortunately I have never heard of Carol Dweck but I found her speech very interesting and it shows that she really wants to get the message out for the good sake of children and young people. Dweck is shows us proof such as studies that were preformed and gives us her own life experience which has a very big effect on her audience and leaves that thought of "growth mindset" and "fixed mindset" in our head.

Carol Dweck really changes your point of view toward education and makes you realise that you spent time to achieve good grands rather than education. As a former secondary student I fully agree with her opinion and wish it all schools could have the same opinion on it. Education in primary and secondary school is all focused on getting the highest grade rather than actually learning and wanting to improve your knowledge.

Therefore I think that secondary school has put me into this fixed mindset but college is making me change my way of thinking and I feel like I'm getting out of this fixed mindset and going more into the growth mindset where I learn from my errors and want to try to gain a better knowledge.

In this semester I will try to focus more on the task and feedback rather than the grade. I want to be able to learn from the assignments than just achieve a good grade. After listening to Carol Dweck I have a different opinion now on the completing an assignment, task, test, etc.

Introduction to a Future Designer

 Introduction Hi pink figure Hi pink figure Hi so it has been a while since I first started the  Creative Digital Media course in College. This course has taught me so much and there is so much more to learn. It is a very creative and fun course. Year 1 was interesting and became very challenging when Covid entered. There was a lot of late night works and was filled with assignments but I did it and now I am in second year.  I'm looking forward to this module because I like games and always was interesting in some game designs but never decided to take on this task on my own with any help. I feel that this module will answer my question about game design and career in multimedia.   There were some really good tasks that I enjoyed and did very well in like photography which changes your point of view on everyday objects and for me it woke up my eye for photography. Image manipulation was a very fun and entertaining task as it allowed you to create something out of this world and it

Game Design

 Reading about Games Type of a game Image source After doing the reading, I realised that there is a lot more to games than just a good idea, plan and software tools. I think that the question in the first reading "what is a game" is an extremely hard question to answer because it can mean something different for everyone. The truth is that most things in our life that we interact with a lot will have a different meaning to an individual. For someone a game might be nothing more than just a little fun way to complete a level or task and move on to the next one. Gamers see it as being part of their life, their break from reality, a brain exercise etc. There are some people that don't find a big interest in games and will have an even more different opinion on "what is a game?" I myself like gaming, I do it often if I have the time however thankfully I never get obsessed which means I can play whenever I have time and still be have my chores done. In my case I wou

Game Vision Statement

My Game Vision A quick sketch of my game idea After some brainstorming and researching, I have decided on my game idea and now can start to look into it more in depth. Although my idea is based on the games below and it will have the same controls and very alike gameplay, it won't be the same game as "Coin Rush" for example because I will be making my own version of the game. My main goal is to make the game more fun and interactive for the players, I want to add some adrenaline and rush to my own version of the game to make it more entertaining but not frustrating.  In my version the player will be a ball of ice and will have to complete the laid out course on a platform before the ball melts in order to complete the game. The player will have to balance the ball and hit certain objects to get through to the finish line, however the game will be over once the player drops the ball, hits an object that will make it crash or if the ball melts before reaching the finish lin
