Time Strategies  I read The Important Habit of Just Starting by Jory MacKay and  Four Questions to Help You Overcome Procrastination by  Peter Banerjea. I thought they were both very well written and interesting. Both were pretty similar. The first  question in Peter Banerjea's article was What One Thing Can I Do to Get Started. Both of the articles gave advice on getting started. Procrastination is normal especially in today's society when we have hours of entertainment available, we can talk to anyone online whenever we want. One article said that we would rather consume than create, I liked this a lot because its very relevant to our time. We get satisfaction without having to deal with the fear of possible failure. I am a big procrastinator, I put everything off till the last minute. Like the article by Jory MacKay said I choose short-term satisfaction over long-term. I wait till the last minute to do something and then create something...

Technology Tools I am looking forward to using different tools. I already bookmark pages every now and again but its fairly rare so I think it would be a good habit to get into. I do use Pinterest and I love it. I love making Pinterest boards. I'm really looking forward to Graphics Creation and Unity because they're new software's that I haven't used before and have no prior experience with them so I'm looking forward to learning some brand new. I really want to work on my designing skills and spend more time planning to make things look good. Keyboard Pinterest Image

My Thoughts on Class Assignments I am excited to learn how to use Unity3D. I think it would be a good skill to have. I'm also excited to come up with a game concept and learning how to programme. This module is very different to my others, I like that we have to blog about each task. It keeps me engaged in the module so I don't just ignore it until I have an assignment due. It's also a new way of learning and I'm interested in seeing whether it suits me long term. For extra credit I am particularly interested in the Tech Tasks and learning more about the Growth Mindset. I would like to know more about blogging and read some other blogs, I also would enjoy making memes. I think growth mindset is fascinating and I really want to learn more about the psychology behind it. UNITY3D Unity Wikimedia

GROWTH MINDSET I had never heard of Carol Dweck or the Growth Mindset before. I learnt that I have a fixed mindset. In school I hated anything I wasn't immediately good at. My favourite subject was geography and maths because I remembered what I was taught without having to study. I feel very discouraged when I get a bad result and it makes me not want to do any work for the subject. I love the idea of "yet" I think if I knew about the Growth Mindset in school I could have done a lot better. Since being in college I haven't felt entirely discouraged like I did in school, probably because everything I'm doing is new so I know in order to get better I have to learn and put in effort. I'm glad I learnt about the growth mindset I think it will help me to have a better perspective on learning. I would like to learn more on the growth mindset. It's something all teachers and parents should put into practise. This semester I...

Introduction to Me COLLEGE AND CAREER I study CDM in  itb. I really like my course because it's practical and I'm always learning new cool stuff. 😊 My favourite module last year was probably Introduction to Digital Media. I really enjoyed coming up with ideas, shooting and editing the video. I love videography and I really want to advance my skills in editing and filming this year.  I'm looking forward to Multimedia Development, I really like the idea of making a game. It would be a super cool skill to have. I hope that by the end of this module I will have a really cool game concept that I can execute properly. I'm not really sure what I want to do career wise. I hope that maybe by the end of this year I'll have a better idea of what I like best and what I'm good at, hopefully they'll be the same thing. 🤞 For now I'm just enjoying my time in college and trying not to worry about what career path I'm going to take. ...

Workshop 01 Traffic Lights                                                                   Link to Image Site The topic is new to me, I've never had to explain how traffic lights worked before. I never really thought about it before, I just knew go when its green and stop when its red, and it worked on timers. But that's the extent of what I knew about traffic lights.  This workshop taught me that I struggle to communicate my thoughts. It was an easy concept but I couldn't quite express what I wanted to say. It also taught me that I should think more about things I use everyday and not just accept everything at face value and I have a new found respect for traffic lights. And that the creator of traffic lights was a man named Garrett Morgan. I enjoyed working in a group. ...

My Favourite Game The game GTA(Grand Theft Auto) IV is about a character named Niko Bellic who arrives in Liberty City on a cargo ship. Niko meets his brother Roman who already lives in America. Roman had been lying to Niko about living the high life. Niko ends up working for some sketchy people and begins to make a lot of money.  The reason this is my favourite game is because it has loads of fun missions and has a brilliant story line.
