So glad to be here! I am going to use this on Thursday in a class I am teaching at 8 am. Thanks for the inspiration and new angle! Will use this as part of the class. "Notice tension, ease, clarity, confusion. NTECC Your nervous system is part of your intelligence." . Who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters. Ntecc. Or NTECC. and how it rhymes with Carol Dweck. The transition from confusion to clarity in programming and problem solving. Notice it. Embrace the confusion and feel the tension. As it resolves to clarity, as spring unfolds before us and within us. Dissonance to consonance, music flowing, understanding growing. Dr. Peter Venkman and Carol Dweck exercise/discussion. Venkman: Nervous? NT,E,C,C Scott: Yes. Venkman: Okay, what's this one? Scott: A couple of wavy lines. Venkman: Sorry. This isn't your lucky day. Scott: I don't like this. Venkman: You volunteered didn't you. Scott: Yea, but I didn't know you were going to be giving me electric shocks. Venkman: We're paying you aren't we? Scott: What are you trying to prove here anyway? Venkman: I'm studying the effect of negative reinforcement on ESP ability. Scott: Effect? Effect! I'll tell you what the effect is. This is pissing me off. Venkman: Then maybe my theory is correct. Scott: You can keep the 5 bucks. I've had it! Venkman: I will Mister!
