Growth Mindset

This week I look at videos and articles to work on my growth mindset. First I watched https://youtu.be/FpN1yQap_is 

When people fail they don't have this quote in mind. Unfortunately they feel like they cannot grow from it then onwards but then you ask yourself how do I get rid of this mindset? Although the lady was well spoken I think it wasn't for me. This article was though:

Finding a way on growing the growth mindset helped me much more and now I am inspired to catch up on work as having covid will not stop me from achieving  my dreams.

Game Jam 2022

I have signed up for the game jam from the link my professor has sent in the teams chat of our classroom online. There was an issue with me getting the email everyone else was receiving after they signed up but this was solved when I emailed the professor in charge of the game jam and I got the email. On Friday, I was put in a group with Alison O'Donovan, Finn Burke Power and Eoin Harrington. My group immediately started brainstorming and in under half an hour we came to a conclusion. My history with game making using Roblox put us at an advantage and so the group agreed to make a Roblox game. 

The letters on the sides of each idea represent each persons name initials.

The three links beside the Roblox game idea were pieces of inspiration I wanted to show to the group as my team members were not familiar with Roblox and Roblox Studio. At first I found it difficult to teach three people something I have been teaching myself for months but the next day on Saturday they got the hang of it. Whenever my team members had an issue I would explain what I was fixing for them as I screen shared. They took each piece of feedback on board and at the end of the day we were finished. Eoin Harrington was assigned the easy food category and Finn and Alison were assigned to create the content and the medium family stage stage. I created the lobby and then the advanced sports side. From my advanced side the rest of the team could copy and paste the structures I made and they could create the obby in whatever way they pleased on their sides. We had an issue with the categories after I made the lobby and we were ready to continue into the actual purpose of the game. This issue was two members thought it would be better to create around 10 categories without an easy, medium and advanced but I had to inform them that this might take more time than expected and if we extend the lobby and if we ran out of time the lab would have to be shrunk. We all compensated and decided to do easy, medium and hard with categories and if we have time left over we could decide on extending the lobby or not. In the end we decided to keep it with the three stages with one category each. I enjoyed working with my group. We were all active all day without any breaks and although this isn't exactly good we were one of the first teams finished. On Sunday we just cleaned up some bits like making the font bolder, we put a creator section in the lobby and put love hearted shaped balcony hand rails. We sent it to our friends, family and fellow peers to receive feedback/ criticism and everyone said we should keep it as it is and many liked the white and pastel pink aesthetic and even called it "cute". I recommend the game jam to anybody thinking of signing up next year and I will be signing up again next year. I cannot wait. The only con of this experience was falling behind on other modules that week and knowing this game was part of my modules final grade was very stressful therefore everything had to be perfect.

Reading 06

I found the matrix method to really help me with the beginning of my first draft as I understood the information and I knew it was reliable therefore changing it to my own words/ my own understanding. I find it hard to include the introduction, description, evaluation and conclusion structure into the "What is gamified learning" question. In contrast to my positive effects question I will include my own survey conducted through Google forms that will support one of my sources therefore in that section I will not rely only on secondary sources. Currently I have 16 responses. I am close to my goal of completing my first draft my only problem is the other modules that have recently been squashed together. I found starting the writing very difficult as I tried to figure out a way to implement the essay writing structure but I went forward to my next question and I couldn't stop writing. My goal is to try my best to implement structure and more detail to my first point. I also put down "mention groups topics" as I still need to consult my group about their introductions of their questions. I see that my first point is an introduction to the chapter therefore this is needed.

This week I have researched multiple articles and I have found my favourite:

https://psychlopaedia.org/learning-and-development/how-to-boost-your-wellbeing-the-benefits-of-a-growth-mindset/

In this article under the "PERMA-nent change" section I have learned that your wellbeing is important for a growth mindset you cannot just strive and search up articles without building a strong foundation. I have tested all of the these things last week and my procrastination levels dropped drastically. I recommend doing these steps if you want to grow with your happiness and growth mindset levels:

• Positive Emotion: engaging in hobbies, interests and activities that elicit laughter, smiling, fun, play and positive feelings.
• Engagement: identifying personal strengths and passions, and activating these through purposeful activity in your work, education and personal life.
• Relationships: building healthy relationships and connections with others based upon shared interests, values and mutual respect for each other’s needs.
• Meaning: identifying and connecting to the factors that provide meaning and purpose in your life, and finding ways to express these through action.
• Accomplishment: setting achievable and meaningful goals, linked to what is personally important, and celebrating both the process and outcome of these tasks.
• Plus healthy behaviour: health-focused action, such as undertaking physical activity, improving sleep quality, focussing on nutrition and cultivating positive stress management techniques and an optimistic worldview.
