Teacher had a relatively complex microbiology practical for a class to do for assessment today. I'm assisting.
First step is for half the class, 6 students, to instruct me through the protocol. Other half instructed the teacher. Weren't dicks about it, but did play a little naive. "Flame it? Flame what? The thing in my left hand or my right?""
Brilliant move by the teacher, students nailed every step between them, and threw up a few "actually, is x or y best?" questions. Then nailed practical.

I've been informed that, sadly, my-place.social is shutting down at the end of the year.
I am already checking out some other options -- by preference another Friendica server, as that has done a very nice job both as a writing platform and as connecting to both the Fediverse and Diaspora ... but we'll have to see what shakes out.
I will try to make the relocation announcement here as far in advance as I can, so there is plenty of time to move over. (Friendica apparently has some migration/notification features, but it's unclear how they will play with followers on other platforms.)
More as I have it to share ...

@mayintoronto Haha. Nah I love my IT support peeps. The fact they shipped a brand new laptop halfway around the world in a few days when I did something stoopid helps. The huge number of shits given to support tickets mean tech gets out of the way so I can work.

@mmdolbow Yuck. They're behind basically every local gov website near me.
1. You, a local gov, have terrible communication.
2. Get Granicus!
3. You still have terrible communication, but you have a clunky website now, too.
Played this on my radio show tonight. It's been bouncing around in my head for months.
Novelty, maybe.
Striking, definitely.
AI slop? Definitely not, I've seen him live.
Different. Barefoot down and out Rap music from a white man over 60.
Feels more real than most Grime/Hip Hop.
Norman Pain is real.
They're novelty but actually the stuff is pretty decent so they actually get respect. It's not parody, made by outsiders, people in the scene are involved. It's pretty weird.

in reply to Geoff 🏴 • • •hmmm, interesting question.
If you've moved completely away from the Bunsen and it is no longer a risk, I'd say it's fine to leave it on.
Equally, I've seen Final Destination and I'm turning off any flames I'm not actively using.
(I'm sure there's actual professional lab protocols that could come in play here too, but they probably vary from lab to lab?)

in reply to Geoff 🏴 • • •Half a class is 6 students? 12 total? I'm crying
(My IB chemistry classes were usually maxed out to 30 students a peice, total number of students I was responsible for at any given time was ~150 or so, including lower grades)

in reply to Geoff 🏴 • • •You're way ahead of us there - class size maximums are set by collective agreement, so not the same everywhere in the province (Ontario). And there's no distinction made for practical subjects. For “academic" (university-bound) subjects, the max is 30 whether it's English or Chemistry.
But again, that depends on the board. I once spoke to someone at a science teachers' conference who was complaining about her class of 40 and how she’d never be able to make (whatever the focus of the session we'd just attended) work with her class sizes.
If I were a younger man (and not retired 😉), I'd seriously consider relocating to the land of my ancestors! 🏴 👍🏻
