what is a mindset

WALT - I am learning to be a critical thinker.

Thinking about the text, I consider the following plus, minus and interesting points of discussion…

Plus	Minus	Interesting
We learn from our failures Growth mindset To be curious	Discouraged we can’t do this Fixed mindset	I haven’t heard of having an open minded mindset before which was interesting to read for the first time.

I believe I have a growth mindset because I will mostly try and stay positive when I fail but I will sometimes give up if i've tried at least 3 times.

If I were to shift my thinking in one area of learning when at school, it would be maths because I aren't good at it and that's because i keep giving up so i were to i would try and have a positive mindset

What is a Mindset?

September 7, 2017 `` `

A mindset is a belief or an attitude that we have about something. Some mindsets are negative (“I am not good at singing”) – but they can also be positive (“I am kind to animals”).

Sometimes, our mindsets are part of the culture and history of where we live, and can even change with time (“Women can’t be doctors!”).

Mindsets may be based on stereotypes or generalisations, and not fact – for example, that: “People who wear glasses are smart” or “Boys are better at running than girls”.

How can I change my mindset?

Understanding that we have the ability to think differently about ourselves and those around us can help us to create new opportunities to grow and learn new skills.

Some ways to do this are to:

• Be curious and open-minded in our attitudes.

• Be open to learning new skills, and enjoy the challenge.

• Learn from our failures – they can teach us even more than our successes.

• Focus on the learning process, not just the achievement.

• Remember that the brain is like a muscle – the more we use it, the more it grows

• Always keep trying. Don’t give up!

Do I have a ‘Fixed Mindset’ or a ‘Growth Mindset’?

Many people have what Stanford University Professor Carol Dweck calls a ‘Fixed Mindset’. People with Fixed Mindsets believe that their talents or intelligence are ‘given’ to them, and can’t be extended or changed. They may see a test result as measuring their actual intelligence rather than simply being a snapshot of their skills at that moment in time. Focusing solely on the end result can make it easy to become discouraged when things seem hard, or don’t go well.

In a ‘Growth Mindset’, people believe that they can grow and develop their talents through time, effort, and dedication.

This means that we can learn, or get better at, just about any skill that we choose. As we practise a new skill – either a mental one such as learning a language or a physical one such as basketball – we create new links between synapses in our brains.

As we repeat these skills again and again, we strengthen these connections, and our abilities ‘grow’. Sometimes we use this to get better at something we are already skilled at, such as maths; but we can also learn something entirely new to us, such as ice skating.

When we understand that success comes from effort and practise, we can see how important it is to keep going, even when it seems difficult. Sometimes, things may go wrong. We may even fail at something we tried to do.

However, having a Growth Mindset means that we can understand that failures or changing circumstances are part of life, and don’t necessarily stop us from achieving a goal or from being successful. We can adapt. We have become resilient.

When we have a Growth Mindset, we learn to value hard work in others, as well as in ourselves. We can cope with disappointment and are able to make new plans to achieve our goals.

Thinking in a Growth Mindset encourages us to be independent thinkers in charge of our own learning, as well as giving us the freedom to enjoy the process of learning itself.

Technology Evolution - Has Society Evolved Too Fast?

Technology Evolution - Has Society Evolved Too Fast?

intro

You know what is humanity focusing on, ooh I know technology its whats keep us moving and what keeps us alive with medicine and power. This is a speech on the things use pretty much all day

Open your eyes see what we’ve built we have bots and droids, guns and power and with each second going by is something new being made. We all rely on technology think not go in the wild and stay there for the rest of life without tech,[pause] we’re always working on tech like this. Think back to 2007 we had quite a bit cars weapons power and look at to day were even working on laser  and plasma which will open even more things, like power and technology advancements.You know the first kind of electronic we invented was a remote. A remote that made the telegraph by sending relays using magnets that was in 1835 back then we didn’t even have proper toilets we would just chuck the stuff on the street. Could you imagine walking by a friend's house and a turd plopped on your head. Yeah that relationship was over anyway see how even the smallest of things made the biggest difference.

When you take a look outside your gonna see something new you can make something new why I just made something new this speech, don’t let it go to your head because science isn’t always easy so you’re bound to fail but just like HNI’s value resilience is the key to inventing now listen I want you to close your eyes and try to remember when great people were around, while you’re there thinking[pause], shake there hand to we had many people who changed the world and we have gone through different ages not birthday ages civilisation ages we’ve come a long way. Bronze stone marble even dirt were currently going through the age of technology I bet those fellas at stone thought stone was the best now then heres some of the greatest minds who changed the world. Albert who was a fantastic math metrologist and Bill Gates maker of one of the first computer programmes and was the richest man on earth.

Now then I have just a few more things to go over. We have made bad inventions in life. You may sometimes think, ‘why the heck do we have weapons?’ We don’t need more wars! Wrong we need them to survive. Were the dominant beast out there until aliens, come but till then were advanced. One day a bear may break into your house, steal your food and sit there staring at you maybe thinking of, I wonder if these things have honey. That’s where weapons come in and to fight crisis to eliminate people who are major threats like Hitler. Each tech we have even tiny ones make the biggest difference [ pull out cube] why look at this I could play with this all day.

Huh oh sorry to simple but fun

`` Now then, coming to my conclusion stepping on the brakes on this speech. I think we are advancing in tech so much but maybe too much too soon. We will be relying on tech which will make us weak. It will sometimes be good so one protect yourself animals are evolving and bears may be stealing your food. 2 were becoming too advanced for our own good. Just don't rely on tech it won't always be the answer[End].

timbernook reflection

At timbernook i didn't really enjoy it. Probably others did but not me there wasn't much to do and 20$ for a session from 8 to 11 not worth it. There wasn't much there and I spent most of the time in pain we went when it rained we had just one marshmallow they wont even let you carry on eating if you have lunch there. There's mud and poop it wasnt realy nice and at the end we got either soggy or dry popcorn and only about 10 piece my bag was soaked that i made for it its not the best but maybe it's just me its was long trip if i paid 10$ then maybe it would be worth it. I say i others would cause im not a kind of kid that would do stuff like this. Unless you love the outdoors a lot then feel free to try it,

lime battery

we wanted to see how a battery worked we put a zinc nail and a piece of copper into a lime and connected it to a volt meter

1 lime =0.95 volts
2limes=1.96
3limes=2.9 volts

and the 3 limes lit up a led


questions does the size of the lime matter/?

what if I put more nails or copper on/yes

can I use different metals/no

later we used a banana wich was more effective by producing 1 volt

i cant chose so thought to just show my recent series

Topic life in the dark empire pt 1

When i first joined i didn't know it was going to be in another dimension i thought it was just a army on earth but i was wrong we were landed on our new home the first thing we did was be sent to the armory to grab our gear i could never forget that task we were sent there and then bots walked around  us scanning us then one by one we were taken and then brought back in like a new form we were killed then our minds went into like a suit of armor were we saw missions and tasks and our weapons and ammo and a whole bunch of things what caught my eye was a text saying that i'm a god while the rest of the units were sent to barracks i was sent to what was called the great hall while traveling i was escorted by what looked like was elite honor guards when i arrived the lord of this place was staring at me and said that i'm the god of darkness he said he sore my soul it was not pure when we arrived it was dark he gave me his helmet and then i was given all he knew and everyone knows about this world he faded away and i was brought to the honors hall where i was given the job to choose what i want for my armor and my pet

Words 242

Life in the dark empire pt 2

When i arrived at the honer hall i saw armor like never before blazing with heat bulking with steal and pets from hounds to leviathans i obviously chose a leviathan but not any one a reaper leviathan and i got into the tank roll really then i when i put on the armour it felt so freaking heavy like i was carrying a planet on me then after a while i got used to it i was tasked with a mission to lead a invasion on eugo 8 infested with akrid[giant bugs basicly] i lead armies of billions and billions of bots and soldiers and tanks i was very good at it to i had squads scout out what we were fighting seems like just small akrids and soldiers but then while we were unloading a earthquake shook but it was no earthquake i realised it was a giant akrid destroying everything in its path it bourd threw the ground and jumping out to swallow things whole and so i realized what we have done

Words 177

Iife in the dark empire pt3

We have landed on a akrids home so we were all assaulting it it swallowed most of our equipments and we had to retreat and relocate we moved to a area in the desert where there was nothing there but we did see huge akrid from time to time fighting each other i had forces to scout the area and scientist learning about the akrid and some working on a special weapon and a way to tame them as we waited i decided to go find one of these huge akrids i saw a gigantic one fighting hundreds of small ones i went to help it but i was too late they just devoured it

I took out my weapons and i called for reinforcements these were like savages i hacked and slashed till they came were in basically a war what a show then i saw there was something  in the cave were the akrid was i ordered  them to keep fighting and for a squad to come with me i saw it was a egg pretty big to i had it flown to our lab for analysis it was a akrid egg known as a dune crawler capable of digging thru the ground  they were still going on i even had some titans dropped in[huge robots]and so i  joined back in the fray

227

Life in the dark empire pt 4

When i got back to the battle i saw copses every where akrid and soldiers lay but atleast we won i ordered them to report back to base and tell us what us what happened when we got back a scientist was run at me saying he found a massive breakthrough i listened to him and we learnt what the akrids weakness was and how to tame them and what pizza to get and that our secret weapon is almost ready but we need to have it guarded at all times by code red security[maximum nothing enters or leave without permission] our weapon was a nano gun that was so powerful because it would shoot a burst of nanites and some thermal so that when the nanites destroy everything the thermal so that lakrids would attack and it has a range of 100.000.000 killerrmeters  but its flaw was it was so heavy ti had to have 2 special crafts to carry it a flying gun ship or air base and a land walker we called it colossal tron because it was so huge about weighing 10000 tons and a height of 100.000 kilometers

And The aircraft was called the valiant hawk what a day and we even saw the akrid egg hatch this is revolutionary

Words 226

Life in the dark empire pt5

They said that if you want to tame a akrid you have to raise it yourself i i took care of it and had it to be my pet the leviten was given to a commander when i was not there to look after it then i had my trusted people take care of it i raised it to be a savage we were building these titans and guns very slowly because well there just gigantic finally we got one ready it was carried by air we went to a enemy base and prepd it we loaded the canister we primed it and energized it then injected the thermal then we fired it was devastating nothing of the base  was left then swarms of akrid were fighting over it we knew it was the ultimate weapon thoe it has 100 shots before we have to head back and it is carrying so much weight and thermal we had this heavily defend the fact that it takes fooooooooooo forever to load is its biggest weakness it gives the enemy a chance to attack we headed back and yet i took care of the dune crawler again i called digger [ i know it not  creative] that night it evolved to its adult state and then it was truly tamed we had it outfitted with armor and regenerators because its weakness are these patches on its body and in the mouth the patches have to be shot with heavy explosives
