Growth Mindset: Genius

Image
What is Genius? I thoroughly enjoyed this comic. I think people often forget that there is no standard cookie cutter genius. You don't have to be a child prodigy or have the highest IQ to be a genius. I think you have to work hard and take note of the little things that will add up. You can't just be smart and be a genius.

That is what I think will stick with my now that I have concluded the experiment. I don't think I'll make it a habit to physically write things down but I think when I am feeling any negative energy towar...

Canvas Notifications: I have turned my canvas notifications off and on throughout the semester to see what I have preferred.

I think this will change my experience with Canvas and help produce a more affective outflow and inflow of information. Notifications can help more productivity.  Web Source
