Museum pet peeve of the day: asking random trivia questions. Either on a tour on on social media. "Who knows what year was X built?" "What does this contraption do?"

It's fine if you're framing it as a "are you a fan of this thing, test your knowledge with a quiz" (one of my favorites did this today) but so often it's just following the letter of the "be interactive" law without following the spirit.

Either you know the answer, and feel superior, or you don't, and feel like an idiot because you think you should have known.

If you're going to actually engage with your audience, you need to give them the opportunity for actual feedback and discussion, dangit. Ask them their opinion about something. Ask them how they feel about a scenario. Ask them if they have any experiences that mirror what you're talking about. Ask them something that will encourage them to do something besides reciting some factoid they remember from elementary school.

Students at a high school in York Region have been awarded perfect marks on their midterm exams in three subjects – not because of their academic performances however, but because they had no teacher. On Tuesday, York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB) confirmed with CTV News that it had given pupils at St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic High School in Aurora, Ont. perfect marks on exams in two biology classes and one business class. "These classes have not had a permanent teacher for much of the semester due to a shortage of teachers specializing in the subject area, a spokesperson for the board told CTV News Toronto on Tuesday.

Help Me Pay for Summer Tuition

Boozhoo! Aaniin! (Hello) I am an Indigenous Student studying my traditional language in an M.A. program. I hope to create free resources guided toward self-learning for many communities and individuals to use.

Despite taking no classes in the summer, my institution requires M.A. students to pay summer tuition, which is a whooping 3k! This was quite a surprise to me. I do have student-loans, but their funding does not cover summer tuition. I also have a job, but on top of rent and expenses, it's hard to make enough. I am posting here to ask for help. Any donation helps, no matter how small, will greatly help me. I know I am literally one of tens of thousands of students who ask for charity, and my cause is no more important than theirs. I just hope that there are some people out there who have a little extra to spare, and who resonate with my struggle.

Gchi Miigwech! (Many thanks).

Hii I just saw you post about how to reduce screen time and I don't know if it'll help you but are some things that seem to be working for me.

• Uninstall social media apps that you spend to much time in. You can still access them through the browser, but it takes more effort and it'll stop you from ramdomly opening them to scroll.

• I use the app forest, you set a timer for the amount of time you want to NOT use your phone and it starts planting a tree. If you enter another app during that time your tree dies :(( which for me works because I don't want the tree to die even if it's a virtual one. I use this maily when I'm in class or at night when I should be sleeping, rather than when I'm stidying, but it still works.

• Carry a book around. Sometimes you'll be able to make yourself read it instead of looking at social media.

The most important thing to me has been to change things gradually, if not it can be too much at the same time and I end up going back to old habits. Hope this helps :))

this is so useful 🙏 thank you very much. i'll leave it here for anyone who needs it.
