Feedback Strategies

Growth mindset, taken from Tes

In this blog I'm going to talk growth mindset again and feedback again. So I read two articles about this, the First being "Be A Mirror Give Readers Feedback That Fosters A Growth Mindset", the article talks about how to give feedback to encourage a growth mindset, even giving five qualities: Be specific, focus on what the reader is doing, focus on the process, make sure it can transfer and finally take yourself out of the feedback.

The Article goes into detail, so I highly that if your interested, personally the idea of a growth mindset interests me, I grew up in a primary school that destroyed my confident and told me I wasn't going to be anything, yet here I am in my second year of University. I really want to try out the five qualities now!

The second Article is "Preschoolers and Praise: What Kinds of Messages Help Kids Grow?", this give article gives parents some tips on how encourage a growth mindset in their child by using words like yet or explaining why the child is getting praise. I really like this article and even though I've only read this article once, I agree with many of its points. When I give the cubs feedback I try to do the steps they give and I'm gonna try harder in the future !

Introduction to Me, Myself and I

Hello, I'm Sarah and this my introduction post ! Here's bit of information about me: I live in Dublin, in Ireland and I've live there all my life. I mainly listen to Metal, currently I've been listening to Slipknot newest Album 'We are not your Kind' also known as Vol 6.. If you want a taste of Slipknot, here's a link to 'Unsainted' which is the first song (not counting the intro) on their new album. For Hobbies, I usually write, I've been practising writing over the summer and I think I'm getting better, My English has certainly improved. I'm also a Cub Scout Leader, so I go away on trip with the Cubs, Scouts and Ventures. This year I went away to County Claire and Holland with the Scouts. County Claire in June 2019, Taken by Me while hiking with the Cubs. I really like travelling around, especially with my camera, my Nikon D5100 with a standard 18-55mm lens and I since I'm studying photography in college I got put in...

Unity Free Tutorials

Hello and welcome to my blog ! With My Non-swinging Axe. This week I'm looking at unity tutorials for my game, that totally weren't sent by my mate Oisin, cheers Oisin ! To see if they can help my game. The first one is "PATROL AI WITH UNITY AND C#" Jesus, someone needs to calm down with the CapLk. A handy video that teaches a little bit of different coding but with little explanation of what the code does but personally I recommend muting the video and just because his voice is annoying, I'm half deaf and his voice was giving a headache ! So after doing the tutorial I came across a problem, the script doesn't seem to be working, there's supposed to be a speed box but as you can see there is none, even after I tried to listen to the video I couldn't get it to work. For some reason, the script not coming up right, screen shot taken by me. Moving onto the next tutorial, "How to make Doors in Unity" yes I'm serious. This tut...

Technology and Me

Today, I'm going to talk about technology, some of the tools I'm use or going to start using. Confession time: I use bookmarks way too much, like I have three pages of bookmarks on Google Chrome and most I don't even use anymore. So, I know how to bookmark, add folders to bookmark, I learn how to do it by accident, know how to get rid of them and all ! Probably the google app I use the most, apart from YouTube and maybe gmail, is Google Doc. Right now, I have use it for a little over a year and I'm actually have it open as I typed this ! So I'm conformable with both Google Doc and Bookmarks. A meme about Google Doc, Founded from Here Since I've used Photo-shop before and I use paint (yes, Microsoft paint.) to edit image, I feel comfortable enough with editing images for this. Really the only tools I've never used before is Pad-let, WordPress and graphics creation, so I more nervous for them. Honestly this is very different from different class...
