time strategies

Having good time management skills I believe is a very important trait everyone should have. This class gives me a lot of freedom to complete work on my time ( by certain deadlines of course) it can be easy to fall behind with due dates close to each other but it is even easier to get ahead which is what I plan on doing throughout the semester. I plan to stay on top of whats due, doing so at the beginning of each week writing out all the due dates into my planner, giving myself a visual of whats due and when. I am also going to work and manage my time well so then I am hopefully not doing work on the weekends and staying ahead and on top of my work so I do not become stressed. I hope to use different time management strategies throughout this semester to get the grades I want without feeling stressed. I know what weeks I will be busier with life and work so planning and working ahead will really help me to stay on top of everything.

Technology course tools

There are many different tech tools to be used in and outside this class. At first having a different website for this class made me and confused and stressed but after becoming more familiar with it and hearing the reasoning behind having it, I think it is a good resource for us to have and use. Using the different technology tools available to there fullest ability will make navigating this course go much smoother, there are many tools I have never used before but I hope to explore and use them this semester. After having written a few blog post I feel familiar and confident in navigating the site. In addition, I am familiar with a few of the tools and sites mentioned like google docs, bookmarking and some of the support sites. Majority of the tools and sites are unfamiliar to me but I think they will be good resources for me to learn to navigate and use.

The importance of a growth mindset

Growth Mindset is an idea that I believe many people should follow and practice. Having a growth mindset like  Carol Dweck said, say not yet instead of I can't or I didn't. Having the mental attitude of knowing you can do better and you can improve will help one to grow even more. Right, when we find something to be difficult our first instinct is to quit and say you can't but when you have a growth mindset you will be able to learn and grow from the difficult situations. Often times we have the most growth as a person when we push our selves to do what we think we cant do. Practicing a growth mindset in school is very important, personally, this idea has and can be implemented in my life. Often times, when myself and many others get a bad test score, we will tell our selves oh well and will go into the next test thinking you cant improve from the last score. But having a growth mindset changes the game, telling our selves not yet, but you can is very important. Keeping a...

My favorite place I have visited would have to be London . London is my favorite place because it has so much charm, beauty and there is so much to do and explore.
