My thougths and impression about Growth Mindset

-

 First, I would like to say thank  you for such an inspiring topic. I have never heard about Carol Dweck, but her study is very inspiring and very close to what I think about kids education and the way how we should be rising our kids. I think using Growth Mindset strategy gives our children  a lot more space to develop in the area they are keen to improve.

                                                                               


As a mother of a 19 years old son I have to say that Growth Mindset strategy helped my son to be a very successful athlete and then when It was over with professional sport , it helped him to accept the situation and transfer his desire for Challenge on his education. I always taught him that he should be looking for challenges and this is the only way to improve in anything. Now he is simply not satisfied if there are no challenges and always looking for opportunities to find them.

If I say a couple of words about myself and about the course ,  I understand that it takes time and I give it to. myself without comparing with how somebody else is progressing, the only person I want to be compared is myself. I know that if I do not understand something I need to try it again and again and It works, so the biggest challenge for me in this module is creating a 3D game and learning a new software I am not familiar with, and the only way to feel about it is being exited.

Learning more about Growth Mindset should definitely be part of the module as it gives some tips and reminds you again and again that you can do it , just need to make an effort and believe in the power of not giving up.

    Hey Svetlana ! I read your blog and I have to say it is quite a nice blog. I love how you talk about teaching your 19-year-old son the Growth Mindset strategy and helping him succeed to become a successful athlete in whatever professional sports he is doing. I love how you were talking about your son not being satisfied if there are no challenges. Thats how everyone should be we should always strive for more :)

    Hello Svetlana. I honestly want to say I fond the story about your son so inspirational. And I admire you for raising him with a growth mindset. There should be more people like you in the world. I am even learning about having a growth mindset at 20/21 (I just turned 21 today). I especially agree with you on focusing on how you are doing rather than everyone else. It's not a race, everyone is at there own level. It's like a game, everyone has the capability to progress

                                                                                   Hi,My name is Svetlana and welcome to my Multimedia development blog. I am from Moscow, Russia, but have been living in Ireland for the last 20 years. Studying at The Third Level was always my dream, but I had to wait for the right moment. My son was a professional tennis player and It was a full time job for me, so I said to myself, when I am free , I am studying and here I am in TU Dublin and I love it. Hope you will enjoy my blog and I will learn how to do it properly. I am a very creative person and have lots of hobbies, not sure whether it is a good or bad thing ;) My main hobby is learning new things, that is probably why CDM was my choice. I love photography and believe I am pretty good at this.  I do commercial photoshoots from time to time and love working with models and creative make-up artists.  Web design and everything connected to it as well are my favourite things. Last year I opened the

  my image This  week,  I figured out how to use Unity asset library and how to create a scene that I wou ld like to have as a platform for my game. So now my player is moving side to  side,  I have quite realistic  forest with trees, I also know what I am doing next week. For next week I would like to place a proper player  not just a  cylinder  that is  moving,  then I will organise falling objects from the  sky, I know what code to  apply,  so it is  going  to be just coding next  week,  so I hope my game will be working next week and all I  must  d o is to clean code and double check whether everything works.   T hat is my plan for next week.

Game Design Document

Project Design Document           I would like to present my first  Project  Design Document for the Multimedia Module  that is aimed to help me to be able to prepare a well  organised  plan and get me ready when it comes to  start developing my first game      Why do we need to create Project Design  Document?   Preparing all the documentations ready before you start designing your game  is normally thought to be the most boring part of Game Design, even  game designers mention it in their tutorials, but it does not have to be. The well organised  Project Design Document can help you and your team to have a better  understand  what you are expected to. Produce at the end  of the  entire process . It can speed up your  work and  avoid the obstacles that can appe ar during Design.  So,  referring to your Document can be a quite useful tool .       Project Design  Document Sections:     The name of the Game   Location   Back story   Obstacles   Objects   Sound   Goals   Unique aspects
