Feedback Thoughts

The first article I read was " How to Get past Negativity Bias in Order to Hardwire Positive Experience." The article discusses how are brain will thrive on negative experiences and keep remembering them. When applying this to a learning situation we remember bad grades and mistakes that caused those making us not want to learn anything new. The article described a plan called heal. Basically if you start to have a negative thought about something start by thinking about something happy to get rid of the negativeness and engulf yourself in it. Afterwards start working again on what gave you the negative thoughts while keeping the negativeness in the background and happiness up front. This seems to me like this would be a good way for students to think, but even through the process of heal students will still struggle, but it is a good first step to helping students be less discouraged by new knowledge. It a good article and i would suggest people read it.

The second article I read was "Seven Ways to Crush Self-Doubt in Creative Work." The article gave as the title states Seven great ways to crush self-doubt. The ways in my opinion are really based on believing in yourself and not trying to be perfect at the same time. The author gives seven great ideas to get rid of the doubt, but the most important in my opinion is trusting yourself. This article gives ideas that I believe are use full and would help students to have more confidence in attempting new ideas. I would suggest people read this article also.
