Cyber Wellness Talk

On thursday, we had a level talk on the topic of cyber wellness by Mr Poh. During the talk, Mr Poh mentioned that kids nowadays cant seem to live without their phones as kids tend to bring their phones everywhere they go.  Cyber addiction to phones has a great impact on people, especially students like us. Students tend to be less efficient when they have their phones with them and they woud be inclined to checking their phones whenever there is an notification. Mr Poh too talked about multi tasking (task switching). Many of us tend to task switch when we do our stuff, thinking that by doing so, we are able to complete more stuff in the limited amount of time. However, the fact was that students completed even lesser stuff than they would have completed in that period of time.

This talk is very relatable to our lives and it is very beneficial. What are some of your insights after listening to the talk?

Fixed Mindset VS Growth Mindset

On the CCE lesson on wednesday, we had a lesson reguarding fixed mindset and growth mindset. Many of us might have this question in our mind when we first started off this CCE lesson. " So what exactly is fixed mindset and growth mindset?"  Through this lesson, the class had a deeper understanding of what both these mindsets refer to and were even able to list some examples of each of these mindsets. 

Basically, just to recap, having a fixed mindset means that you just believe that you aren't good at that something because you are who you are, while growth mindset means that you believe that anyone and everyone can be good at anything. When you do not do well in one thing, a person with growth mindset would encourage themselves by saying : I can do this! I just need to put in more effort! I will soon succeed!"
