While we hope teachers will have a growth mindset about using technology in the classroom, this link shares how teachers can teach kids about a growth mindset using ClassDojo.  ClassDojo started out as a behavior management online tool for teachers.

Many teachers are excited about the compelling research on the power of a growth mindset to change student perceptions of themselves as learners. Stanford psychology professor Carol Dweck discovered that when kids receive a message that their brains are malleable and their abilities can be developed, they approach learning as a challenge that they are ready to embrace. That message resonates with many teachers who have long wanted that type of classroom environment. But while the research is compelling, many teachers still struggle to weave growth mindset into their daily teaching practice.
