They are very good! I like your very clear macro stuff. It shows how thoughtful and purposeful you've been with what you're trying to achieve.
I tell students failure is ESSENTIAL for success. You HAVE To make mistakes to learn. I've learnt to fail better these days, though traditionally I wasn't good with it. I'm much more likely to say 'well, I learnt some stuff' than cry now. Mistakes are just great opportunities for growth.
Thank you, at least they're in focus right? Lol.
I learnt some stuff, is one of those lines we should all be saying once the disappointment wears off and after we've evaluated and made a new plan, it sort of draws a line underneath it once and for all and allows us to move forward with the new plan. It's good you're teaching such tings to those kids, it will serve them well to remember it because in life, failure will inevitably occur.
Yeah there's a whole known pedagogy that revolves around resilience and teaching kids that EFFORT is the best way to learn. You actually don't learn as well without struggle and working through problems. So to fail is just part of learning and thus is a good thing. I always gush far more over effort than results!
Yep, I get it...I'm a reward for effort guy and don't like seeing people expect reward after not showing any. Here for instance, I'm far more likely to curate a post in which personality and effort exist than when it is not, stock images, shite text etc. I'm moving towards muting posts in my communities that include stock images. I think you'll understand to some degree...Imagine I came along and said in a post in the gardening community, I've gardening and growing plants and blah blah blah...then use images of Hyde Park. Lol. Nutbags.
Cheers to effort!
Oh no, I don't allow stock images in Hive Garden unless it's more of a philosophical post or exploring a theme that doesn't really need original images. For example, I wrote a post about platypus but I aint got no platypus images so I used them from a site, making sure I referenced them. But, yeah 'I grew tomatoes' with a stock image, and WORSE - omg - when they've got a watermark, now that's just facepalm material.
I get that, I'd allow that also, but considering my communities are about experiences it would be difficult to justify. I try to be balanced though.
Lol...watermarked images...senseless.
I often get people saying things like, but I don't have images of such and such to match the topic. OK, use somethign that doesn't match...it's not rocket science...Work it out people. I refer them to my posts and suggest that many of the images I use (all my own) don't necessarily match the topic. Oh lordy, are they writing for the New York Times or something? Jeez!
I'm moving towards own images only on the #weekend-engagement and of course, no AI bullshit. I'll mute those who don't comply I guess, after a request of an edit, or maybe without warning. We'll see.
