Educreations
A five minute video that defines growth and fixed mindset and discusses how students can develop a growth mindset. Produced by Lisa G, Melanie P, Evelin M. and Evelin G.
Songs
Another student, working alone, developed his lyrics set to the tune of Radioactive by Imagine Dragons. Playing the instrumental version of the hit song in the background, he sang his growth mindset lyrics, doing a great job of describing just how a student with growth mindset behaves in class.

Reflections
"While working on this project one success that I experienced was actually presenting [the project] because honestly I am a shy [person], but after this project I gained a little confidence in myself." Kevin B.
"The success we have had in the process of this project is that it brought us closer together. We also got done with a great skit video and our classmates enjoyed it." Alyssa C.
"I had A LOT of fun and I wish I could do this [work on projects] more often!" Marcela E.
"I really like using google docs because it was sort of like a meet up online." Jesus G.
"To be honest I had a love-hate relationship with google docs. I learn different things from this app. In a professional way I learned you must wait for it to load, and that you can see what your teammates are changing which made it easier. On the other hand it really tested my patience, and at times it would say "Error. Can not make changes." At those times I wanted to throw my iPad." Alexis J.
"Think just the fact that we finished the project was a big success, but also making a friendship with Angel and Donnovan was a big victory, whom I didn't even talk to before this project .... I think I learned that I have the potential to become a really great leader, and to know that is a great thing." Rodrigo M.
"While working on the presentation, I experienced that being idle does not help anyone on our team because it does affect everyone and things run slower." Denise M.
"I learned that when I have an idea I shouldn't just shut out all the other ideas I should listen and be flexible, and I also learned that I like acting and next time I will do a skit if we have a project like this again." Alexis N.
"I learned part of me still has a fixed mindset because when I am interested in something, I put in my hardest work to achieve my goal. But, when I'm just too down by my mood to do anything I can't do anything right, because that specific thing has my attention." Shekina S.
