I created my digital story using the fabulous tools called Amazon Storybuilder, Moovly and the Green Screen. YOU will now use these fun tools, to create your OWN digital story based on the topic: Growth Mindset versus Fixed Mindset.
Amazon Storybuilder is used to plan your ideas. You are the writer of your script!
With Moovly, you can use a combination of photos, video, sound, music and Moovly clips to create your movie. You can also narrate some aspects of your story like I did!
Use the green screen to show the reader what you will become in the future with a growth mindset!
Describe what a growth mindset means to you. Provide examples that describe when you displayed a growth mindset and what you achieved! Also, show examples when you had a fixed mindset and what happened!  Any questions, please see me. Have fun!
