When I first saw the number of tasks we had to do in week 2, I was worried think every week was going to be like this, but once I took a look at week 3 I was relived to see it was one task a day instead of 2. However I am still a little nervous about having 3 tasks for Friday to Sunday, but the fact that one of them is just leaving comments on other people blog calmed me down a bit and the reading seems like something you can do the week before.  According to The Psychology of Checklists Lauren Marchese it is suggested that I make a list in order to keep track of all my work and when something is due, and I'm inclined to agree. Along with this Realistic Study Plans by Amanda Collins has helped try and design a study plan which may help in the future. However I feel like my biggest challenge will be juggling the different modals and making sure I have time for all of them.  (image of clocks link to website)

When it comes to the tools that we are going to use in this year I'm not to worried bookmarking and image editing, those are simple and can be used by anyone. Its the graphic creation and unity thats making me nervous  mostly because there so unfamiliar to me especially since I am going to have to rely on them to get my work done. But once I'm given clear instruction on what to do and how to do it I will probably ease into it, However I would much prefer if we where shown in person rather then online but since we don't have a lot of options right now I will have to make due.                                                              (Unity logo link to website)

At first glance the core assignments seem simple enough but is probable because I have not done any yet. The reading and blog assignments seems easy and a quick way to earn marks. However  it is the ones involving unity 3D and project are what have me worried along with the the due dates but I'm probable paranoid and it will get easier over the weeks. The extra credit task seem interesting and a good way to catch upon any assignments marks that I might have missed particularly the Wikipedia trail.                                (list of Core Assignments link to web site)                         

Before this this year I had never even heard of "Growth Mindset" or Carol Dweck. However from what I have read and listed to about Growth Mindset it is simpler to seeing the glass as half full rather then half empty. Its less about incurring people to get the answer right and more about incurring people to try, to exempt challenge and try rather ten stay in there comfort zone even if they don't win. When I look at the spectrum between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset I feel like I go back and forth depending on the situation I'm facing, but probable more so a fixed mindset always trying hard not to fail and praying that I at least passed it was like that for me last year and it is probable be the same this year. One of my biggest challenges having enough time to get the hang of something new. I might be interested in learning more about Growth mindset but I'm just fine not. (Growth Mindset meme Link to )
