So when people stop practicing new things, the brain will eventually eliminate the connecting cells that formed the pathways. ]]> 2016-08-25 19:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/99031969/ChristianAguilar/wish/119921566 99031969 https://padlet.com/99031969/ChristianAguilar/wish/119924383 When you learn new things, these tiny connections in the brain multiply and get stronger and stronger. The more you challenge your brain the more brain cells grow. Then the things that were really hard for you to understand like a math lesson or something seem to become easily. The result is a strong smarter brain.]]> 2016-08-25 19:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/99031969/ChristianAguilar/wish/119924383 99031969 https://padlet.com/99031969/ChristianAguilar/wish/120108582 People with a fixed mindset beleive that you can't get smarter. Making them afraid of making mistakes in front of people.  Unlike people with a growth mindset where they want to challenge their brains and get smarter. Kids with growth mindset aren't afraid of making mistakes because they know that making mistakes will help them.]]> 2016-08-26 19:01:24 UTC https://padlet.com/99031969/ChristianAguilar/wish/120108582 99031969 https://padlet.com/99031969/ChristianAguilar/wish/120439188 What I think of growth mindset is that kids aren't afraid of making mistakes in front of people. If kids with growth mindset had a choice to choose between a hard worksheet or a easy worksheet they would most likely choose the harder worksheet because they know that if they make mistakes they will learn from them. Learning about the human brain and having a growth mindset changed the way that I think about learning because I was afraid of making mistakes in front of my friends and looking dumb. But now i know that making mistakes will help me become smarter.]]> 2016-08-29 22:36:22 UTC https://padlet.com/99031969/ChristianAguilar/wish/120439188 99031969 https://padlet.com/99031969/ChristianAguilar/wish/120442307 One goal of mine is to not care about making mistakes in front of people and caring about what they think of me. I will know that those mistakes will help me. My second goal is to challenge myself. I never wanted lessons, tests, homework to be hard for me. I still don't want to but i will try to challenge myself so i can become smarter. And finally my last goal is to work hard in my sports. I play soccer and I will always challenge myself by pushing my limits.]]> 2016-08-29 23:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/99031969/ChristianAguilar/wish/120442307 99031969 https://padlet.com/99031969/ChristianAguilar/wish/120443373 Bernard, Sara.
