This episode of #MindsetMondays starts off with a shout-out to Lainie Rowell who is one of the authors featured in #BecauseOfATeacher and she is starting her own gratitude journey! Couros reflects on the importance of gratitude and shares a reminder from Patrick Larkin who asked his blog followers to “find one thing each day that you are grateful for that would not have been possible if we were not in these unique circumstances.” Couros shares two questions that he read in an article by Tim Denning, titled, The Most Important Way to Measure Your Day: 1. Did I learn one new thing today? 2. Did I help or inspire one person? Couros also adds a third question: 3. Did I show gratitude to someone who has had a positive impact on me? Couros encourages listeners and viewers to reflect on these three questions and share the answers with others or share using #MindsetMonday!

If you are not already watching these podcasts on YouTube, this episode is a must-watch - you have to see Patrick Larkin and his awesome family dancing to one of the TikTok trends! This episode goes beyond Patrick's amazing dance moves and continues to discuss ways to find gratitude in any situation. The two reflect on a blog post that Patrick wrote during the pandemic and how the mindset of finding gratitude helps us evaluate the situation we are in. Part of evaluating our situation is also recognizing the needs of our learners - mentally, physically, and emotionally. George and Patrick talk about what they are doing to support themselves - mentally, physically, and emotionally - as well as their learners; the two share strategies that they have found that work for them as they keep a routine and help the learners they connect with. George shares a personal goal of reading more content and how he is working on both consuming and creating content; when we listen to others, we can often reflect on other ideas in order to gain more perspective. Patrick reflects on the idea of what innovation is as he looks at going beyond the technology being used and discusses how to embrace the change and model an innovative mindset by not being afraid to fail. One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is that “the message matters, but how you communicate the message matters as well.” How do we bring people along with us on our journey? Three main points: -Finding gratitude in any situation -Connecting physical, mental, and emotional health to support all learners -Balancing consumption and creation of content for our learners Quotes: "We will learn a lot more if we fail than if we stay with our mundane tactics." - Patrick Larkin "Find one thing each day that you are grateful for that would not have been possible if we were not in these unique circumstances." - Patrick Larkin "The message matters, but how you communicate the message matters as well." - George Couros Links: Patrick M Larkin TikTok - https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJVvB69d/ Patrick M Larkin Blog - https://patrickmlarkin.blog/ Never a Better Time to Practice Gratitude (blog by Patrick Larkin) - https://patrickmlarkin.blog/2020/03/17/never-a-better-time-to-practice-gratitude/ Permission to Feel, We Need This Book Now More Than Ever (blog by Patrick Larkin) - https://patrickmlarkin.blog/2020/04/27/permission-to-feel-we-need-this-book-now-more-than-ever/ Please share your thoughts with us on Twitter or Instagram at #InnovatorsMindset.

An article that caught my attention was: "Troubleshooting: A bridge that connects engineering design and scientific inquiry." It was written by David Crismond. This article compares classic troubleshooting versus design-based troubleshooting. The emphasis of troubleshooting is on observing, diagnosing, explaining, and fixing. Troubleshooting stands ready as a bridge that can link the practices of engineering design with those of scientific inquiry.
