Like the previous comment I had only thought to apply that to the students I would be teaching and hadn't really generalized it to anyone else. I too agree that every parent or anyone involved in children's lives should read Carol Dweck's books. I've always been one of the growth intelligence type and it saddened me when others around me were ingrained with the "fixed" type. I glad that some research has and is being done to help educators especially, but parents too, understand how to nurture the minds of their students and children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5396207241794796454.post-27746108124644557682007-07-28T19:40:00.000-04:002007-07-28T19:40:00.000-04:00Elizabeth-I think your idea about the impact of en...Elizabeth-<BR/>I think your idea about the impact of entity ("fixed") intelligence theories and teachers' willingness to incorporate new technology into their classrooms is hugely relevant and important! In reading the book by Carol Dweck that you loaned to me (thank you so much!), I had just been thinking about the impact of these intelligence theories on students, and thinking only a bit about teachers' previous experiences as students themselves. I hadn't taken it to the next level to think about how these mindsets are influencing teachers' current ideas about themselves as teachers- which, of course, influences their teaching practices. I strongly agree with you that teachers and parents should read Carol Dweck's books. Thanks for pointing me in this direction! Nadene MollAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
