Assignment:

  1. Hey, you’re back! It’s good to see you again. Today, we’re going to change things up a bit with a class presentation in Google Slides. All today’s instructions and activities are linked in this presentation slideshow. You can open it and follow along, or just follow along with me as I guide you through it.
    • You can even open it up later if you want to look through it again, or if you missed today’s class and need to catch up.
  2. Today, we’re going to learn about what a Growth Mindset is, why it’s important for everyone to have one, and how to start developing your own Growth Mindset.
  3. We’re also going to learn about Netiquette – the fine art of communicating politely when using online media. (Very important in both the online classroom, and when conducting professional communications online! It even helps to make a good impression even if you’re communicating with people online who you don’t know personally!)
  4. Remember on day one when I talked about Mister Rogers, and what he said about “Finding the Helpers”? Well, I found that video, and today we’re going to talk about what it means to “Find the Helpers”, and discuss ways that you might even be the Helper that someone else needs to find.
