The Difference Between Praise and Feedback


 In this article, we learn about the difference between praise and feedback and its consequences. Popular psychological research warns about the power of praise and how it can affect a child in a negative way, this unconditional parenting could cause the child to be unmotivated to learn, achieve and could result in a fixed mindset.

It is advised to praise children for the effort they put into things instead of telling them that they're smart or really good at something. This is called' process praise'.

By implementing this way of parenting we teach the child to believe that they can get better by doing work and putting in the effort, this results in a 'growth mindset'.

Preschoolers and Praise: What Kinds of Messages Help Kids Grow


Preschool children are in the early stages of figuring out who they are and what they're capable of doing, the language used by the parents and teachers during this time could really influence their mindset in the future. 

Many children think of intelligence as something that you're born with rather than something that you can grow, that's what we called a fixed mindset, what we should aim to teach our kids is to 'struggle until they get it' and motivate them to work hard, that way they can grow up with a 'growth mindset'.

My Introduction

A Little About Me My name is Karolina and I'm 21 years old, I come from Poland but I lived in Ireland for the past 13 years, I'm excited to continue my journey in the Creative Digital Media Course. My favourite class last semester was web dev elopme nt as it was well organized and I found it the most interesting but also challenging, I feel that I have learned the most from that module compared to other modules. My biggest accomplishment last semester was making my own website from scratch, as it made me realize how much I have learned in just one year.  My goal for this module is to gain a better understanding of basic game design and to create my own game. During the summer holidays, I visited many places in Ireland such as Wicklow, Meath and Athlone. My favourite books are the Harry Potter series. Here is a photo of my cat when he was still a kitten, his name is Pepe:

Game Brainstorm

 My Game Ideas 1. Maze/ Labyrinth Game: I started off my brainstorm for game ideas by researching online and watching a few tutorials on youtube, I tried to find the most simple 3D games for beginners, I came across a tutorial for a 3D maze game and I thought it would be simple enough to do.  Here is the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLa8nPphL2gf1luu9Ux5aWj-8C11F8aLVf&v=mHFNiS6lsss&feature=emb_logo&ab_channel=DennisG.Jerz I'm interested in making this game as the concept of the game is simple but has a nostalgic feeling, I picked this tutorial as it walks you through every step and is full of information. This is another version of a maze game but much simpler to make: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVXGgPCxvpY&ab_channel=Gamerbot4000 2. Endless Runner Game: The second game I'm interested in making is an endless runner game similar to subway surfers or temple run because they offer fast-paced action and are addicting to play.
