Growth Mindset Post

Growth Mindset:

 I have never heard of 'Carol Dwek' before until now. I have heard of 'Growth Mindset' before though. I learned about this from watching her Ted Talk about 'the power of believing that you can improve'. I would have to say that I would be a bit of both sometimes when it comes to where I am on the fixed  mindset spectrum and the mindset spectrum. Honesty I would probably dabble into both. Now that doesn't mean its fifty fifty all the time but I would label myself as fully only one of the those two either. I would have to say that if I was talking about this from a travelling or baking perspective which, are things I enjoy doing then I would be more on the growth mindset spectrum because I enjoy these activities and I feel less pressure and stress over them... well most of the time. I'd say it depends on what activity or school or college situation that your talking about because you could be either or depending on the situation because it can be a broad situation. 
           I've learned that my own learning style can vary depending on many things. Usually I want to get things done as soon as possible so I don't have to do everything at the last moment and become very stressed out. I'd say I naturally push myself or I keep on reminding myself to do certain learning tasks for college because I can't forgot not to do them on time. I say I can be very focused when it comes to my studies.I believe that I will be interested in learning more about 'Growth Mindset' this semester as I have so far have found it quite intriguing.   
             I'm worried about the web design module as my HTML skills are quite limited in what I'm able to do. It's a module that I know I will struggle with. After understanding more about 'growth mindset' and 'fixed mindset', I feel that I have a better understanding and knowledge that I can apply to this and other modules that I may find difficult and alter my mindsets on them.

Introduction to a future something....?

Introduction Post: The best class that I took last semester was 'Design Process & Practice'. I really enjoyed this module last semester because I found it to be very interesting and creative. I really enjoyed using the program, 'Illustrator' when I was making posters, leaflets and some lab task work. I found it to be exciting because it was a module where I could let my creativity fly! I also found the group assignment to be informative and fun. I found working in a group to be an experience which intrigued me. I worked on projects in a group for an assignment and we would meet up and describe our ideas and do brainstorms. We also chose to do one task each and come in and meet up and discuss and present what we each had done. I chose to do the research and statistics part because I taught that i would found that job to be the most interesting for me. This module really helped me gain a better understanding of how to use the program, 'illustrator' and how t

Final Game Design Document

I have completed my final GDD (Game Design Document). My previous GDD didn't have enough detailed information in it where I would be able to hand it over to games developer and programmer. It would have not been enough information for my game to be produced and made the way that I wanted. Therefore I updated my DunDoc . All of the required information for my game will be in my GDD DunDoc. There is now a game architecture feature in my GDD as well as any other information that was needed. Screenshot of my DunDoc GDD

Game Vision Statement

Image
Welcome back to my blog! Today, I will be discussing my chosen game genre and what the game-play of my game will be like. The genre that I chosen for my game is a children's interactive educational story based game. The style of the game will be simplistic yet, cute meaning that I will have 'cute' looking characters in my game to appeal to children. The game will be colourful and 'animated' looking meaning, it won't have a realistic style to it. I believe choosing this type of style will appeal to my target audience for my game. My game will be story-based which means that the player will choose from a list of choices in response to for example; a question or a route that they may take.                There will be many interesting tasks and choices that the player must make in order to not bore the player resulting in the player quitting the game before completing it. The game will be very interactive which will  hopefully keep the player interested and inve
