Mother & Daughter Mindset Show

Creating and crafting - theories on the DIY culture, epic failures, following instructions etc. (Note: Daughter is creating stone scraping art - so if you have dentist phobia, the sound might be too much)

Starting with how our minds interpret Time & Space, to token currency and how humans might embrace the ideals of our Golden Retriever

Starting with a provocation on how a blind person would learn math and how best to teach them, we meander around time, space, quantity, difference, braille, Roman numerals, light speed, dark speed... and more. Shout outs to @meganhaessler @ilanabenari & @21toys

Starting with a talk about digital currency, mother & daughter are back with another tangenty iteration of their awesome podcast! Topics addressed are: teleportation, black holes, alternate planes of existence, wrinkles in time, root of digital information, matter, pure water, and more! *now with intro and outro music!

Iteration 05 - The Dimensional Arrow This episode starts with topic of analogies on the creative writing process, but meanders into Choose Your Own Adventures, Video Games (Little Big Planet & Portal), time travel, and Mother's #oneword2018 for #onewordONT #Re-Co-Cogitaction

Iteration 04 - Thinking about the Organizational Structure of School Mother and daughter discuss: Where and how to kids like to learn? Why are schools designed they way they are? Is what we think of school and how we think kids learn and interact best based on tradition? Does this deserve some 'What if's' and 'ReThinking'? (We think so.)

In this episode, so excited to keep recording after Iteration 02, we pressed record with even less of a plan. The result is a reflection from a Grade 5 on attending after school PD on algebraic reasoning with 40 K-8 teachers.  What mother and daughter both learned (and have yet to learn) about patterns in math and the world around us.

Mother and Daughter examine the concepts of feedback using food shows and made up verbs to reflect on the best way to help someone improve. When do learners want, need or benefit from feedback? Where does a level playing field belong in competition and learning? How do we help without hovering? 

In the 1st Iteration (Episode 01 - Première) Mother and almost 10 year-old daughter start by summarizing their conversation on 'Reasons vs. Excuses' which then leads into a discussion about mindsets around learning for both child and adult learners. Topics include: Growth and Fixed mindsets, praise, pressure and persuasion.
