By integrating gamification into e-learning, learners have the opportunity to improve their knowledge and acquire vital soft skills like multitasking, collaboration, creative thinking, and goal-oriented mindset. Furthermore, gamification fosters an environment that empowers learners to take responsibility for their learning journey and envision their own success, allowing them to progress at a pace that suits them best

"How much of our intelligence is a genetic gift or the product of hard work is difficult, perhaps impossible, to know for sure. But for our brains to perform their best, new research suggests, it’s better to believe that effort trumps heredity." Via Beth Dichter

As teachers many of believe it is important to teach students about growth mindset. This research provides additional information about the value of doing this. Quoting the last paragraph from this article in Time: "The takeaway: How we’re predisposed to think about problems changes the way our brains handle them. Beyond the abilities we’ve inherited, the most important factor in achievement may be believing that it’s within reach." If you are interested in more information on growth mindset search for the term in this Scoop.it. There are quite a few articles and videos that are appropriate to share with students.

Do you teach your students about growth mindset? Is this a topic of discussion with other staff in your school? Jackie Gerstein has shared three excellent resources in this post that focuses on growth mindset. She has created an infographic (image above) that looks at fixed mindset and growth mindset, showing how a student may identify based on their mindset. The next step was putting the infographic into ThingLink and creating links to over 15 resources. Here is the link: ThingLink version of the infographic. There is also a slideshow that provides additional resources (although some may be repeated in the ThingLink). The slideshow is split into four sections: * Mindsets * Historical Background * The Educator with a Growth Mindset * Teaching the Growth Mindset to your Learners Since this post is based on a workshop she provided it is a great resource to share with teachers at your school (or other teachers whom you know). Make sure to check out the resources for students. You may find yourself creating a poster to help your students learn more about growth mindset.

Growth mindset theory, the idea that intelligence is malleable and can grow, has taken the education world by storm in the past decade as a way of motivating students academically.

Reading can be a very fraught topic for parents, teachers and students. Strong reading skills are essential for accessing later curriculum, so teachers put a lot of emphasis on it early. But the pressure and angst of getting students reading on schedule can sap the joy out of an activity that many young children love. At its heart, reading is a way to access stories, which in turn make readers wonder about the world. In the race to get kids reading, it can be easy to treat reading like a procedure, instead of the complicated experience that it is. Via John Evans, Dean J. Fusto

Working with learners of low SES and whose environment more often than not ensures they have a fixed mindset, it is important that we help them to redefine what success is. Too often it is fixed around being rich, having a big car, house, jewellery etc. These learners then become preoccupied with looking for the short-cut to success, to the riches they believe will make them happy. It doesn't work out like that of course. How then to help the alter their thinking? Dweck's work is essential in this. But as this article states it cannot be seen as "a task to complete". It requires a shift in thinking of all in an organisation, a movement for a whole-school way of thinking, involving also parents or carers. This article by Costa, Garmston and Zimmerman provides a solid basis for promoting growth mindsets in educators.

"When we hear the word genius, certain people come immediately to mind—Albert Einstein in mathematics, or Warren Buffett in investing—but what exactly sets these people apart? It’s easy to simply shrug and say to ourselves, “Those people are just different. They have something most people don’t, and it’s as simple as that.” But the steps taken to arrive at a place of genius are actually more concrete, and have less to do with innate talent, than you might think. When it comes to cultivating intelligence, mindset is a huge factor..." Via Beth Dichter
