#MindsetBC

Last summer I had the privilege to participate in the #levelupbc about gaming in education organized my Matthew Winner and Jennifer Lagarde.  It was such an outstanding professional development experience, I can't even tell you!

So, when I started ready Mindset by Dr. Carol Dweck, I thought it would make a perfect Twitter Book Club.  I posted this tweet, people responded and here we go!

Anyone else reading MINDSET by Dr. Carol Dweck? Anyone up for a twitter bookclub? #txed

You can purchase Mindset here from  Amazon and here from Barnes and Noble

The premise of the book is that you have either a fixed or a growth mindset and that your mindset will determine your success.

I was first introduced to the book at the PBL Collaborative training I was privileged to attend in June.  I bought it that next week and am just getting into it.  So far, it's been very powerful for me. I can already see how I struggle against a fixed mindset in some areas of my life.

To allow everyone to get the book, we're not going to have our first Twitter chat until Tuesday, July 30 at 9 p.m. CST.  We'll discuss Chapters 1 & 2.  I'll post the questions on this blog before the chat.  Our hashtag is #MindsetBC
