Time Strategies

Time Management and Strategies are very useful and important mechanism in learning/studying system, especially when you are dealing with a lot of tasks per week. How am I planning my routine per day and if time management strategies are helping me?,-I can announce- YES!

The first thing that I am doing to organize my learning day is my helper-Study Plan Template.

I am putting all the tasks that I am planning to do per week or even per day and using highlighter for it.

I prefer to use sharp colors . And indicated the tasks that should be completed in deadline.

The Articles that I read helped me to highlight some important aspects how I can  manage my time per day effectively and keep motivated.
for example, "manage your energy ,not just your time". I agreed with this title, and definitely I am going to use it.
or "break your task preparation into small, manageable chunks.

Articles helped me to use  IFTTT app, I am going to try it, and will let you know if its helpful.

Good study plan and right time strategies will keep you  motivated and when you see that you are making a progress then your goals are achieved.

 Technology tools

I am familiar with most of these tools, but would like to go deep and explore more and more.

As we know technology is growing too fast in our days, so every day you can get a chance to learn something new about  tech tools.

Last year I learnt how to blog, Google Docs, Brackets, AI, Adobe Premiere Pro, Photoshop, all those tools.

And for this semester I am going to learn how to create games, using Unity.

Besides, I would like to use Pinterest as a bookmarking tool. And I am eager to learn graphic creation, which sounds interesting and something new for me.

 Class Assignments

I am so excited to learn gaming/coding...

 This type of teaching system I found informative and essential. To complete each task per day I realized to  use Time Strategies to be more organize and complete the tasks in time, not getting panic or stress. Only one thing worried me, to complete some of tasks will take some hours, and I am anxious if I can manage to complete other modules as well.

 

I like the idea to complete each short task per week and earn points, even you have a chance to earn extra credit, which is great!

 Growth Mindset

“We found that students’ mindsets – how they perceive their abilities – played a key role in their motivation and achievement, and we found that if we changed students’ mindsets, we could boost their achievement. Students who believed their intelligence could be developed (growth mindset) outperformed those who believed their intelligence was fixed (fixed mindset).” – Carol Dweck, PhD

This is a very interesting and teaching topic for me. I heard about Fixed-Growth Mindset before but didn’t get any chance to hear the professor Carol Dweck lecture.  I really agreed with the way how she is analyzing her researches, and sharing her opinion with public.

  

I found it very actual method to use in both Primary and High-Level Institutions. 

Talking about a Growth Mindset, first I tend to think :

1. effort
2. right strategy
3. focus on main task
4. persistence
5. never give up
6. try hard
7. passion of curious

 

  

Attentively looking at the graphic of Fixed-Growth Mindset, I found myself as a Growth Mindset personality now, but in the past, I was fixed Mindset. Why?  

  

In my memories: 

 I remember when I was 9-11yrs  old I always fighting to get high score at  school, and made my parents proud of me, as for me it's more important to hear their praise than what I learned at school. And opposite, when I got lower score I was starting to hide my mistakes, to lie my parents, as I wanted to look smart at all time, and afraid of being unpraised, which was bringing - changes in behavior, sign of aggression and bulling other children. 

"It is very important to praise the child for his progress and effort, but not for intelligence." 

I like the method-” No Yet", and I’m going to use that in the future.

 

“I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” – Albert Einstein

Introducing Myself...

Hi All

It's me - Lusine. I'm the Second year student in TU DUBLIN, CDM Y2, and I'm very excited to start the course and get more knowledge and more experience in this sphere.

For the first year of study I was a little bit anxious about the course, but now I'm quiet sure -this is exactly what I want to learn and achieve in the future.

Last semester was very interesting for me, especially the 1st semester .why 1st? -you're asking me, because of the strange situation in the world ,we had to do all the 2nd semester via online, which was hard and stressful, but I hope we can deal with this situation for the 2nd year as well as we did before.

The best class for me was Web development, as I enjoyed Web coding, and created websites and I can call it to my biggest accomplishments for the last year.

Because of  the pandemic situation in the world I couldn't spend my summer holidays with my parents, which made me  feel too sad. Instead of it, I spent all my time with my children, organizing movie time with popcorns, singing karaoke, watching interesting TV Shows', playing chess, and riding bikes.

The best movie I watched called "The Promise", and the book I read was "21 lessons for the 21st Century" written by Yuval Noah Harari .

My favorite song was "La Boheme" by Charles Aznavour.

My pet is a dog, and we called him -DEAL.

I love to play games either online or board games, the most favorite one is the Chess.

My favorite food is an Armenian Tolma and lavash.

My hobbies are travelling and learning other people culture.

If  I have an extra day for fun, I will spend it with my children, teaching them how to ride horses.

 My career goal is to become either Web Designer or Graphic Designer...

Thank you for reading...
