"GROWTH MINDSET"
After orientation lessons for Canvas, students participated in a Canvas “Discussion” entitled “My Mindset Goal for the Year.” Students discuss situations that are difficult at first but if they use a Growth Mindset they will often earn success by never giving up and working hard on a skill until they are successful. Using the Canvas Discussion, students brainstormed what a Growth Mindset means to them, an academic goal for the year, and their plan to achieve the goal using a growth mindset.
After students “Published” their responses to the mindset questions in Canvas, they were to make appropriate replies for other student posts. After considering suggestions from fellow classmates, students wrote out their developed paragraph using a Word document. The paragraphs were proofread by students and teacher and then corrected. Then students read their final version while being video-taped. Students used Wixie (an online version of Pixie) to create an illustration for their Growth Mindsettopic. Students then used the green screen effect in iMovie to combine their Wixie illustration with their video to create their individual movies. The individual student green screen videos were then combined into a class video.
