I thin this meme is a funny way of having a very good point. It is important to have a growth mindset when you want to grow as a person. I want to be open to new ideas or opinions in the future.

I really like this meme because I think it is a funny way to show an important skill. At OU there are so many tools that help students accomplish the tasks that they want to complete. I think it is important to take advantage of these resources and make the most of your time at the University!

This weeks growth mindset challenge I have decided to follow my enthusiasm. Spring Break is nest week so I have a lot of enthusiasm that I have used to get me through this week.

Growth Mindset: Confront your fears

This week I confronted my fears. Okay... not all my fears and not very radically either. I read a blog post about spiders and that is hard for me because I am so scared of spiders. Maybe reading about them will be a baby step in concurring my fear of spiders.

Week 6 Growth Mindset: Learning Blogger

This week I have challenged myself to learn more about blogger. For example, I have found that if I keep picture the same size as when I import them I often find that the edge of the photo hangs off the text area on my blog. This bothered me because it became hard to read my sidebar with the picture in the way. I have fixed this problem by making my picture no bigger than the large option in order to keep the picture in the text column.

 I found this gif on another blog and I found it very inspiring because I really like 30 Rock. Liz Lemon is a really funny character. Also, Tina Fey as a person is amazing.

Growth Mindset: Difficulty

I like this meme because I think it is funny when cats work together to accomplish things. I also think it is a good message. School can feel difficult and overwhelming sometimes but it is good to reassure myself that is it not impossible.I mean if cats can open a door without and thumbs I think I can get a degree.

Growth Mindset: Use your Brain-Read!

One of the reasons I wanted to take this class is to add some reading to my college schedule. I think reading is a great way to sharpen your mind and broaden your vocabulary.

Growth Mindset: Talk about Mindset

My best friend's major is early childhood development and special education so I decided she would be the perfect person to talk about the idea of a growth mindset. She had heard of it before and thought it should be something every teacher keeps in mind. She thinks, especially with special education students, growth mindset will be something she will have to use everyday in her classroom.

Growth Mindset: Memes

I thought this meme was pretty funny because it reminds me of two siblings getting caught doing something wrong. The "deer in the headlights" look. This meme is a funny way to encourage team work and the amount of work that can be achieved when people work together.

Introduction to Growth Mindset

Growth Mindset

This is the first time I have heard of the concept "Growth Mindset". After watching the videos provided I realize that it is a great tool for people to use to grow and be success. In this learning experience students are rewarded for their thought process as apposed to their results. When students are rewarded for results then they are taught they everything that they do should be easy and that is what is good. In this was of teaching there is no development or challenge.

This mindset allows for students to accept and invite challenges because they know that the outcome will be more fulfilling if reached after a challenging process.
